Genetically Programmed Shape‐Morphing of Engineered Living Materials

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Here, bacterial and mammalian engineered living materials (ELMs) are presented, in which living cells direct genetically programmed and enzymatically mediated shape‐morphing. The resulting deformation and shape‐recovery can be actuated in a genetically controlled manner by an ELM incorporating out‐of‐equilibrium counteracting biochemical reactions with

Severe pneumonia due to Cupriavidus gilardii in a critically ill patient: a case report highlighting therapeutic dilemmas and the imperative for standardized antimicrobial guidance

Frontiers in Medicine
Cupriavidus gilardii is a rare environmental Gram-negative bacillus that has increasingly been recognized as an opportunistic pathogen in recent years. Clinical management of infections caused by this microorganism remains challenging due to difficulties

Activation of dimerized BRS3-EP3 suppresses melanoma cell migration through coupling Gαs protein

Fundamental Research
The mechanism underlying the crosstalk between Gαq-coupled bombesin receptor subtype-3 (BRS3) and Gαi-coupled E-prostanoid 3 receptor (EP3) remains unknown. Here, we report that BRS3 and EP3 form dimers in the membrane of living HEK-293T cells.

Hydrogel‐Based Method for High‐Resolution Measurements of Contact Mechanics in Rapid Biological Adhesives: A Case Study in Cuttlefish Tentacle Strikes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Cuttlefish and squid can catch their prey within milliseconds using specialized tentacles and suckers. The physics of how the suckers can attach so quickly has remained a mystery given the technical challenges of studying them in vivo. In this publication, we develop a hydrogel that retains imprints of the suckers in order to estimate the forces they ...
