Flax Composites With Improved Interfacial Strength Through Microbially Induced Mineral Precipitation
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A bio‐inspired biomineralization strategy introduces an additional hierarchy to flax fiber composites. By controlling microbe‐mediated mineral particle deposition through tuned salt concentrations, stress transfer within the natural fiber composite is enhanced.

Material Before Morphology: Substrate‐Dependent Mechanical Tuning of Radular Teeth
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Substrate‐dependent material tuning in Clausilia radular teeth. Closely related taxa retain a conserved gross tooth morphology, but differ in elemental composition and mechanical properties according to feeding substrate. Rock‐associated taxa show increased Ca–Si enrichment and higher stiffness and hardness, especially in the central radular region ...

Generation of a Clean Host for Polyketide Production Using Agricultural Wastes in Ascochyta Rabiei
MycobiologyThe plant pathogenic fungus Ascochyta rabiei produces solanapyrones, which are polyketide-derived secondary metabolites, during its saprobic growth on straws. Previously, we utilized A. rabiei as a heterologous host to produce a lichen-derived polyketide

CD4+ Tregs Drive Post‐Ischemic Sprouting Angiogenesis via Endothelial YY1/MAML1 Reactivation
Advanced Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Microvascular complications of diabetes are chronic diseases of small vessels. We previously found that CD4+ regulatory T‐cells (Tregs) are markedly reduced in type 2 diabetes (T2D) after ischemic injury in both mice and humans, and that Treg deficiency in immunodeficient mice impairs vascular regeneration.

Spectral Characteristics of the Antarctic Vegetation: A Case Study of Barton Peninsula
Remote Sensing, 2021 Spectral information is a proxy for understanding the characteristics of ground targets without a potentially disruptive contact. A spectral library is a collection of this information and serves as reference data in remote sensing analyses.
