A Sustainable Biotechnology Approach for Mineral Separation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Silver‑binding peptides are first identified through phage‐display screening, and then engineered into multifunctional and responsive peptides or proteins. These tailored biomolecules can selectively capture and aggregate silver particles or ions from complex mixtures, enabling rapid and efficient silver separation and recovery.

State‐of‐the‐Art, Insights, and Perspectives for MOFs‐Nanocomposites and MOF‐Derived (Nano)Materials

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Different approaches to MOF‐NP composite formation, such as ship‐in‐a‐bottle, bottle‐around‐the‐ship and in situ one‐step synthesis, are used. Owing to synergistic effects, the advantageous features of the components of the composites are beneficially combined, and their individual drawbacks are mitigated.

Axial and Radial Spatial Patterns of Non-Structural Carbohydrates in Cycas micronesica Stems

Plants, 2018
The pachycaulous stem of arborescent cycad species exhibits unique traits and has received limited research. To date, nothing is known about the axial and radial spatial patterns of non-structural resources within cycad stems. Cycas micronesica K.D. Hill

A Microfluidic Multiplex Sorter for Strain Development

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 6, March 18, 2025.
A new multiplex method for high‐throughput screening of yeast strains based on glucoamylase production is presented. Droplets containing single mutant yeast cells are incubated for enzyme production. A sorting platform divides mutants by their high‐ and mid‐activity levels.

Further Studies on the Binding of Maltose to the Maltose‐Binding Protein of Escherichia coli [PDF]

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1976
Extensive binding studies, performed by equilibrium dialysis, suggest that the periplasmic maltosebinding protein of Escherichia coli is homogeneous with respect to its affinity towards maltose. This finding contradicts an earlier conclusion, which was based on insufficient data.

The SlDOF9‐SlSWEET17 Module: a Switch for Controlling Sugar Distribution Between Nematode Induced Galls and Roots in Tomato

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 28, July 24, 2025.
Root‐knot nematode (RKN) disease seriously affects the yield and quality of vegetable crops. SlDOF9‐SlSWEET17 model helps plants resist RKN infection during early stage by switching off the sugar transport capacity of other SlSWEET proteins that are hijacked by RKNs.

The transcription factors Atf1 and Pcr1 are essential for transcriptional induction of the extracellular maltase Agl1 in fission yeast. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe secretes the extracellular maltase Agl1, which hydrolyzes maltose into glucose, thereby utilizing maltose as a carbon source.

A Dual‐Targeting T6SS DNase Drives Bacterial Antagonism and Eukaryotic Apoptosis via the cGAS‐STING‐TNF Axis

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 28, July 24, 2025.
The bacterial Type VI secretion system (T6SS) emerges as a sophisticated virulence mechanism, leveraging the dual‐function effector TkeA from Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. TkeA concurrently damages rival bacteria and host cell DNA, triggering the host's cGAS‐STING‐TNF pathway and inducing apoptosis.

Stiffness‐Tunable Neurotentacles for Minimally Invasive Implantation and Long‐Term Neural Activity Recordings

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A hydraulically actuated “Neurotentacle” probe offers tunable stiffness for precise implantation into the deep brain without rigid shuttles or dissolvable coatings. It stiffens during insertion to penetrate tissue and softens afterward to minimize damage and enable stable long‐term recordings.

Structure‐Function Relationships of Biomass‐Derived Materials for Zinc Metal Protection

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review analyses the mechanism of zinc anode degradation, focuses on the protective roles of the four major functional groups of carboxyl, amino, hydroxyl, and sulfonic acid groups in biomass materials, reveals the structure‐function relationship and synergistic effects of functional groups, and looks forward to the challenges and directions of ...
