Circadian rhythms in insect disease vectors [PDF]
Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2013 Organisms from bacteria to humans have evolved under predictable daily environmental cycles owing to the Earth's rotation. This strong selection pressure has generated endogenous circadian clocks that regulate many aspects of behaviour, physiology and metabolism, anticipating and synchronising internal time-keeping to changes in the cyclical ...

Engineered Protein‐Based Ionic Conductors for Sustainable Energy Storage Applications
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Rational incorporation of charged residues into an engineered, self‐assembling protein scaffold yields solid‐state protein films with outstanding ionic conductivity. Salt‐doping further enhances conductivity, an effect amplified in the engineered variants. These properties enable the material integration into an efficient supercapacitor.
