Determination of Gene‐Level Fitness Contributions Across the Mucin‐Utilization Network of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Genome‐wide CRISPRi and RNA‐seq resolve how B. thetaiotaomicron converts host mucosal glycans into fitness. The study reveals a layered mucin‐utilization architecture in which capsular polysaccharides constrain surface access, extracellular CAZymes and peptidases show functional redundancy, and intracellular catabolic pathways create discrete metabolic

Open and Distance Learning for Refugees and Marginalised Communities: A Pathway to Global Educational Equity

West African Journal of Open and Flexible Learning
Education is still a basic human right and a key component of sustainable development, economic empowerment, and social inclusion. Displacement, poverty, conflict, discrimination, and geographic isolation, however, create structural obstacles for ...

LigHTS: Biomimetic Hydrogel Photo‐Fabrication for Imaging‐Based Ultra‐High‐Throughput Screening

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
LigHTS removes a key bottleneck for ultra‐high‐throughput screening (UHTS) by enabling biomimetic hydrogel microenvironments to be manufactured directly in standard multiwell plates. A single, collimated UV exposure with formulation‐tuned light penetration patterns an entire plate with UHTS‐grade uniformity (<20% CV), producing structured GelMA films ...

Waiting to Be Discovered? Community Partnerships, the Facilitation of Diverse Memory, and Reflections on Academic Success and Failure

Genealogy
Community partnerships, based on ‘the collaborative turn’ in academic research, are an increasingly common framework through which ‘bottom-up’ histories, particularly of diverse and/or more marginalised communities, are being told.

Porcupine‐Quill‐Inspired Shape‐Morphing Biointerfaces Disassemble Biofilms

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A porcupine‐spine‐inspired dynamic offensive bio‐interface is developed for active biofilm disassembly. By coupling electrically driven nano‐dagger penetration with light‐triggered ROS generation, the surface overcomes the passive limitations of conventional mechano‐bactericidal topographies, achieving near‐complete biofilm eradication, strong ...

Low‐Power Control Of Resistance Switching Transitions in First‐Order Memristors

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Joule losses are a serious concern in modern integrated circuit design. In this regard, minimizing the energy necessary for programming memristors should be handled with care. This manuscript presents an optimal control framework, allowing to derive energy‐efficient programming voltage protocols for resistance switching devices. Following this approach,

Indian Muslims, Marginalised Communities and Covid-19

, 2020
This paper is about the novel coronavirus (COVID19) and its afflictions on Indian Muslims. After a few incidents amid Covid-19, the Muslim community became subject to heavily vitriolic attacks from various sections of society. Muslims, a highly stigmatized community and still backward in economic fields encountered serious difficulties to sustain their
