Discovery of magnetic field line dependent anisotropic chemiresistive response in magnetite: a new piece to the puzzle of magnetoreception. [PDF]
Chemiresistive materials, which alter their electrical resistance in response to interactions with surrounding chemicals, are valued for their robustness, rapid detection ability and high sensitivity.

Prussian blue technique is prone to yield false negative results in magnetoreception research
Perls’s Prussian blue staining technique has been used in magnetoreception research to screen tissues for iron-rich structures as proxies for putative magnetoreceptor structures based on magnetic particles.

Magnetoreception in animals [PDF]
Determining how animals orient themselves using Earth’s magnetic field can be even more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack. It is like finding a needle in a stack of needles.

A supramolecular assembly of cone‐specific G‐protein and cryptochrome 4a on lipid bilayer
Immobilized phospholipid bilayers on a sensor chip surface serve as membrane platform to investigate critical protein–lipid and protein–protein interaction processes by surface plasmon resonance. The putative magnetoreceptor cryptochrome 4a and the myristoylated cone‐specific G‐protein α‐subunit (Gtα) bind with high affinity to immobilized lipid ...

Magnetoreception in mammals and birds: a comparison (Mammalia, Aves)
The magnetic compass systems of birds and mammals differ in their functional modes and are based on different physical principles: The inclination compass of birds is not sensitive to polarity; it is light-dependent; with the direction indicated by spin ...

Biomaterial Physical Cues as Gene Regulators for Cellular Agriculture
This review elucidates how biomaterial physical cues—ranging from matrix stiffness to remote electromagnetic fields—serve as extrinsic regulators of gene expression in cellular agriculture. By identifying central mechanotransduction pathways that bridge physical inputs to genetic remodeling, the authors propose the “Material Genome” concept: a ...
