Coherent Absorption Reveals Colors Hidden in a Grey Fabry–Pérot Cavity

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
A dielectric thin film shows colors depending on its thickness; this effect can be used to encode information normally accessible through single‐beam spectroscopy. We developed a method to conceal this kind of information, based on coating the dielectric with a matched conductor, that suppresses the color‐bearing thin‐film resonances.

Construction and Expression of Recombinant LL-37 as Histag-SUMO Fusion Protein with Factor Xa Cleavage Site

Hayati Journal of Biosciences
LL-37 is an antimicrobial protein expressed by the CAMP gene in humans. This protein has various antibacterial, antiviral and anticancer effects. Expressing LL-37 as a heterologous protein in E. coli cells has its challenges.

Electrically Induced Photonic Assemblies of Faceted ZIF‐8 Crystals Exhibiting Binary Angle‐Dependent Structural Color and Metamerism

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Electric fields drive dynamic photonic assemblies that reversibly generate structural color. By tuning nanoscale organization through controlled particle disorder, the presented system exhibits a unique binary color response, switching between blue and pink depending on viewing angle. Combined with metameric design, this allows for a two‐factor optical

Regulation of inflammasome signaling pathway by antimicrobial peptide LL-37 [PDF]

, 2020
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are compounds serving as natural antibiotics. LL-37, the member of cathelicidin antimicrobial peptides, is known to be mainly produced by epithelial cells and crucial role in innate immune response from the first line of ...

Multiobjective Codesign Optimization of a Planar Pneumatic Artificial Muscle‐Based Snake‐Like Robot for Enhanced Agility and Energy Efficiency

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A codesign multiobjective optimization framework was developed to enhance the morphology and controller of a snake‐like robot driven by artificial muscles. It improved planar locomotion, agility, and power efficiency. The approach optimized link geometry and controller gains, revealing that shorter muscles near joints and longer linkages maximize ...

Piezoresistivity Enhancement by Graphite Flake Alignment in Thin Composite Films for Dielectric Elastomer Switches

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This article presents dielectric elastomer switch (DES) materials, based on composite thin films. Alignment of graphite flakes due to their physical confinement within the thin films lead to much stronger piezoresistive responses than bulk composites, while their durability exceeds that of conventional liquid‐based DES materials.

Antimicrobial peptide LL-37 increases rhinovirus-induced interferon β expression in human airway epithelial cells through a Ca2+-dependent mechanism

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports
The human cathelicidin LL-37 is active against both bacteria and viruses, but it also shows immunomodulatory properties. Here, we assess the impact of LL-37 on viral signaling in human airway epithelial BEAS-2B cells infected with the respiratory ...

Plasma Antimicrobial Peptide LL-37 Level Is Inversely Associated with HDL Cholesterol Level in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

International Journal of Endocrinology, 2014
Introduction. Relation between atherosclerosis and innate immunity has attracted attention. As the antimicrobial peptide, LL-37, could have an important role in atherosclerosis, we supposed that there could be a meaningful association of plasma LL-37 ...

SAGE binds LL-37 and inhibits LL-37-induced interleukin-8 (IL-8) expression in vitro.

, 2013
A. SAGE binds LL-37. Microwell plates coated with GM-111 were incubated with LL-37 at 37°C for 2 h. Plates were washed, incubated with anti-LL-37 antibody, incubated for 1 h, washed again four times and incubated with peroxidase-conjugated secondary ...

Asymmetry in Skipping Enhances Viability Against Control Input Noise

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Quadruped animals use asymmetric galloping gaits at high speeds, yet the functional role of this asymmetry remains unclear. This study shows that left–right asymmetry in touchdown angles enhances robustness to control noise. Using a simple two‐legged locomotion model and viability theory, it demonstrates that asymmetric skipping substantially enlarges ...
