Toughening elastomers using mussel-inspired iron-catechol complexes
Science, 2017 Combining stiffness and stretchiness There is usually a trade-off between making a material stretchy, so that it can absorb energy on deformation, and making a material stiff, so that it does not extend very much when stretched. Mussels have long been an

The Development of Intellect in Emerging Adults: Predictors of Longitudinal Trajectories
Journal of IntelligenceIntellect is an important personality trait, especially with regard to the prediction and explanation of intellectual performance, such as occupational or academic success. However, much less is known about the development of Intellect. I present results

Activity Dependence of a Novel Lectin Family on Structure and Carbohydrate-Binding Properties
Molecules, 2019 A GalNAc/Gal-specific lectins named CGL and MTL were isolated and characterized from the edible mussels Crenomytilus grayanus and Mytilus trossulus. Amino acid sequence analysis of these lectins showed that they, together with another lectin MytiLec-1 ...

Human harvesting of Mytilus galloprovincialis Lamarck, 1819, on the central coast of Portugal
Scientia Marina, 2004 The Mediterranean mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis Lamarck, 1819, has traditionally been removed from the shore by humans in coastal areas to supplement diet, for commerce or for bait. On exposed rocky shores of the central coast of Portugal, humans are

Healthcare Policy | Politiques de Santé, 2016 Some species are more equal than others. Robert T. Paine (American ecologist, 1933-2016) discovered that if you remove starfish - what he called a "keystone species" - from a tide pool, the complex ecosystem collapses. Without the predator starfish, mussels choke out other animals and plants. This phenomenon is general.
