Charge‐Induced Morphing Gels for Bioinspired Actuation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a novel electroactive actuation mechanism that enables the gel material to generate substantial and reversible shape‐changing while preserving topological and isochoric (volumetric) equivalence. The resultant morphing behaviors can mimic the movements of muscle‐driven organelles in nature, including cilia‐like beating and ...

Evidence for dynamic and multiple roles for huntingtin in Ciona intestinalis [PDF]

, 2013
Although mutations in the huntingtin gene (HTT) due to poly-Q expansion cause neuropathology in humans (Huntington's disease; HD), the normal function(s) of the gene and its protein (HTT) remain obscure.
