Biological modeling of mucus to modulate mucus barriers [PDF]
American Journal of Physiology-Gastrointestinal and Liver Physiology, 2016 A recent study using a transgenic mouse, whose intestinal mucus contains a molecule made of 12 copies of a domain found in many gelling mucins, demonstrates that it is possible to strengthen mucus properties in situ, leading to promising new treatment strategies in diseases in which the mucosal barrier is impaired.

Stingray epidermal microbiomes are species-specific with local adaptations
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Marine host-associated microbiomes are affected by a combination of species-specific (e.g., host ancestry, genotype) and habitat-specific features (e.g., environmental physiochemistry and microbial biogeography).

Switchable Supramolecular Adhesive by Tuning Interfacial Bonding and Modulus
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The supramolecular adhesive (HyDiP) shows reversible adhesion and recyclability. In the dehydrated state, it is dense, stiff (E ≈445 MPa), transparent, and provides strong bonding with adhesion strengths up to 4.65 MPa. In the hydrated state, it becomes porous, soft (E ≈0.11 MPa), and detaches easily, enabling sustainable high‐strength applications ...

Gut alterations in a chronic kidney disease rat model with diet‐induced vascular calcification
FEBS Open BioIntestinal disorders and vascular calcification (VC) are often associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). While gut barrier alterations have been reported in CKD (such as abnormal intestinal permeability, bacterial overgrowth, and inflammation), it is
