Investigating Dissolved Glucose as an Alternative Nutrient Source for Bivalve Larvae

Aquaculture Nutrition
The production of live microalgae represents a major cost in the operation of bivalve hatcheries, as it is the primary food used for larval rearing. This study investigated whether dissolved glucose could reduce the reliance on live microalgae as a sole ...

Mussel-Inspired Bioadhesives in Healthcare: Design Parameters, Current Trends, and Future Perspectives

Biomaterials Science, 2020
Mussels are well-known for their extraordinary capacity to adhere onto different surfaces in various hydrophillic conditions. Their unique adhesion ability under water or in wet conditions has generated considerable interest towards developing mussel ...

Dispersal and remineralisation of biodeposits: Ecosystem impacts of mussel aquaculture [PDF]

, 2006
Suspension-feeding bivalves produce biodeposits (faeces and pseudofaeces) that have much higher sinking velocities than their constituent particles. Consequently they cause sedimentation of material that might otherwise not be deposited.

Structure‐Property Relationships in Catecholamine Coatings for Broad Surface Functionalization

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by mussel adhesive proteins (MAPs), six catecholamine molecules with different molecular structure were systematically characterized and compared based on their ability to form homogeneous, reactive coatings. Highlighting candidates capable of balancing coating properties of interest, their successful use as primer layers for organic and ...

Freshwater mussels house a diverse mussel-associated leech assemblage [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2019
AbstractFreshwater mussels (Unionida) are one of the most imperiled animal groups worldwide, revealing the fastest rates of extinction. Habitat degradation, river pollution and climate change are the primary causes of global decline. However, biological threats for freshwater mussels are still poorly known.

Engineering Approaches to Modify Immunomodulatory Functions of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs): Tissue Regeneration and Clinical Application

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) show promise for treating immune‐related disorders through immunomodulation and tissue regeneration. This review gives a brief overview of current clinical approval of MSC therapies. It also discussed how bioengineering, including genetic modification, biomaterial delivery, extracellular vesicles, and iPSC‐derived MSCs,

Anion–π Interaction‐Regulated Ion Generation and High Piezoionic Response in Ultrasoft Low‐Salinity Hydrogels

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The first hydrogel system employing anion–π interactions as a central design motif is developed. The cooperative aromatic–phosphate interaction motif provides dynamic cohesion and is proposed to regulate the separation and transport of water‐derived ionic species, achieving high piezoionic response in injectable, self‐healing, ultrasoft, low‐salinity ...
