Reversible Cystine Disulfide Scaffolding Enables Carbonyl Sulfide‐Mediated Intramolecular Peptide Bond Formation via Cyclocystine: Implications for Prebiotic Chemistry

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Cystine is unique among amino acids, in that the disulfide bond can allow intramolecular peptide bond formation. This cyclization offers potential advantages for intramolecular coupling selectivity in prebiotic peptide formation. ABSTRACT Treatment of cystine (the disulfide‐linked dimer of cysteine) with carbonyl sulfide (COS) results in the formation ...

Talin1 Adhesion Morphology and Colocalization With Tensin3 Are Largely Unaffected by Polyacrylamide Substrate Stiffness

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cells sense the stiffness of their extracellular matrix (ECM) and adapt their behavior accordingly. We investigated how ECM stiffness affects the spatial organization of talin1, a key mechanosensitive focal adhesion protein. Using polyacrylamide (PA) hydrogels with tunable stiffnesses (0.2–188 kPa), we analyzed cell morphology, migration ...

An accessible microfluidic perfusion platform for time‐restricted control of zebrafish embryonic patterning

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding the dynamic nature of developmental networks requires live imaging techniques capable of capturing real‐time developmental processes in wild‐type and mutant embryos as they are exposed to pharmacological perturbations. A peculiar developmental patterning process in early vertebrate embryos is the sequential segmentation of ...

Bioinspired Flexible and Stretchable Coil Structure from Ti3C2Tx MXene/AgNPs‐Functionalized Piezoelectric Nanofibers for Enhanced Energy Harvesting

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Ti3C2Tx MXene and Ag nanoparticles are embedded into piezoelectric nanofibers to form a stretchable, self‐powered coil that converts mechanical deformation into electrical energy. The device enables controllable power output during stretching and release while maintaining a compact and lightweight architecture, making it suitable for miniaturized ...

Modeling Long-wavelength Amorphous Dust Emission Based on the Physically Motivated Soft-potential Model

The Astrophysical Journal
We propose a new amorphous dust emission model based on the soft-potential (SP) model, applicable in the long-wavelength range from the far-infrared to the microwave.

High Cooling Rate for LRE123 Stoichiometry Control in Preparation of High‐Tc Bulk Superconductors

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This review presents the cooling‐rate‐control melt‐growth (CRCMG) method as an effective strategy for regulating LRE123 cation stoichiometry. By accelerating the cooling rate during crystallization, oxygen vacancies are increased in the growing lattice, which suppresses LRE3+/Ba2+ substitution and yields near‐ideal 1:2:3 stoichiometry with enhanced ...

Where Do Stars Explode in the ISM?—The Distribution of Dense Gas around Evolved Massive Stars in M33

The Astrophysical Journal
The effect of supernovae (SNe) on star formation in the interstellar medium (ISM) depends sensitively on where SNe explode with respect to ISM clouds. Observationally, SN ISM environments characterized by spatially resolved gas maps can empirically guide

Reproducibility and positioning sensitivity of CT beam width measurements using a pencil ionization chamber and radiopaque mask. [PDF]

J Appl Clin Med Phys
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the reproducibility and precision of CT beam width measurements using a pencil ionization chamber and radiopaque mask and to assess the robustness of the technique against clinically realistic setup errors in the superior‐inferior (SI) and anterior‐posterior (AP) directions. Methods Beam width was measured on a GE Discovery

Managing and visualising geochemical data for tephra correlation with the IntChron Integration Tool

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is now a wealth of glass‐shard geochemical data for volcanic ash (tephra) layers from a wide range of volcanoes and eruptions, providing invaluable datasets for tephrochronology. However, compilation of published data to assess tephra correlations leads to large files and requires careful management.
