Metagenomic insights into the relationship between intestinal flora and residual feed intake of meat ducks

open access: yesPoultry Science
: In this study, we sought to determine the effects of intestinal flora on the feed efficiency of meat ducks by evaluating the correlation between intestinal flora and residual feed intake. The F2 generation of Cherry Valley ducks × Runzhou Crested White

Nanostructured Hydrogen‐Selective Palladium “Plug” Membranes Capable of Withstanding High Temperatures

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A nanostructured palladium membrane is developed for high‐temperature hydrogen separation, comprising isolated, thermally‐stable palladium plugs embedded within nanopores of a porous support. The membrane withstands high temperatures (1000 K for 100 h) without structural failure, demonstrating exceptional robustness over conventional metal membranes ...

Flavanol monomer-induced changes to the human faecal microflora [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We have investigated the bacterial-dependent metabolism of ( − )-epicatechin and (+)-catechin using a pH-controlled, stirred, batch-culture fermentation system reflective of the distal region of the human large intestine.

Charge‐Induced Morphing Gels for Bioinspired Actuation

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a novel electroactive actuation mechanism that enables the gel material to generate substantial and reversible shape‐changing while preserving topological and isochoric (volumetric) equivalence. The resultant morphing behaviors can mimic the movements of muscle‐driven organelles in nature, including cilia‐like beating and ...

Microplastics from Wearable Bioelectronic Devices: Sources, Risks, and Sustainable Solutions

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bioelectronic devices (e.g., e‐skins) heavily rely on polymers that at the end of their life cycle will generate microplastics. For research, a holistic approach to viewing the full impact of such devices cannot be overlooked. The potential for devices as sources for microplastics is raised, with mitigation strategies surrounding polysaccharide and ...

Integrated metabolomics and 16S rRNA sequencing to investigate the regulation of Chinese yam on antibiotic-induced intestinal dysbiosis in rats

open access: yesArtificial Cells, Nanomedicine, and Biotechnology, 2019
Objective Antibiotics have saved hundreds of millions of patient’s lives, but there are also many side effects. This paper mainly studies the regulation of Chinese yam on antibiotic-induced gut dysbiosis in rats.

Multimodal Structural Color Graphics Based on Colloidal Photonic Microdome Arrays

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A hybrid photonic system combining colloidal crystals and microscale domes is designed to achieve four switchable optical states via the interplay of Bragg reflection and TIR interference. The graphics composed of the photonic microdome arrays provide tunable, angle‐sensitive structural coloration and concealed‐to‐revealed transitions, offering a ...
