Hearing and Vocalizations in the Naked Mole-Rat
, 2021 Since their discovery, naked mole-rats have been speaking to us. Early field studies noted their extensive vocalizations, and scientists who are fortunate enough to spend time with these creatures in the laboratory setting cannot help but notice their constant peeping, chirruping and grunting (Hill et al., Proc Zool Soc Lond 128:455-514, 1957).

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A deep comprehension of biomolecular phenomena at interfaces is significant with their fundamental and practical importance. Our experimental and theoretical investigations reveal that specific amino acids (glutamic acid and aspartic acid) exhibit an orientational coupling with liquid crystals, which can recognize and optically report the interfacial ...

Harnessing Phase Separation for the Development of High‐Performance Hydrogels
Advanced Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Hydrogels are indispensable for the development of next‐generation bioelectronics, soft robotics, and biomedical devices, where their mechanical properties determine performance and reliability. Among strategies to enhance hydrogel mechanics, phase separation enables controlled heterogeneity resulting in gel networks that are reinforced by ...

Adult neurogenesis and its anatomical context in the hippocampus of three mole-rat species
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2014 African mole-rats (family Bathyergidae) are small to medium sized, long-lived and strictly subterranean rodents that became valuable animal models as a result of their longevity and diversity in social organization.

The real war on cancer: the evolutionary dynamics of cancer suppression. [PDF]
, 2012 Cancer is a disease of multicellular animals caused by unregulated cell division. The prevailing model of cancer (multistage carcinogenesis) is based on the view that cancer results after a series of (generally somatic) mutations that knock out the ...

Advanced Dental Composite Technology via Bisilanized Dual‐Action Nanofillers for Biofilm Control
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A multimodal research strategy has led to the development of an innovative resin‐based composite (RBC) with dual antibacterial action. The S_CM‐RBC formula showed strong antibiofilm activity, excellent mechanical strength, and biosafety. It effectively controlled oral bacteria in prevention of caries recurrence, and maintained pulp health in a rat ...

Has gene duplication impacted the evolution of Eutherian longevity? [PDF]
, 2016 One of the greatest unresolved questions in aging biology is determining the genetic basis of interspecies longevity variation. Gene duplication is often the key to understanding the origin and evolution of important Eutherian phenotypes.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.The ZnSm‐Cl dinuclear molecular complex was synthesized through a simple one‐pot method. ZnL and Sm3+ exhibit complementary temperature‐dependent emission As the temperature increases, a noticeable color difference of ZnSm‐Cl can be observed within the room temperature range of 253‐333 K.
