Unexpected Suppression of Tomato Fruit Cuticle Formation by Overexpression of a Key Cutin Biosynthetic Enzyme

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fruit cuticles regulate the diffusion of water, gases and solutes, functioning as essential protective interfaces against environmental and biotic stresses. Engineering cuticle structure and mechanics therefore represents a promising strategy for improving fruit quality and resilience.

Water Contact Angle Reveals pH‐Conditioning‐Enabled Single Molecule at a Large Surface Sensing Mechanisms

ChemistryEurope, Volume 4, Issue 9, September 2026.
A physisorbed anti‐IgG layer is investigated through Water Contact Angle measurements to assess the impact of pH conditioning. The results show that exposure to acidic environments alters surface wettability, with a marked decrease observed upon antigen binding, thus linking conformational rearrangements to single‐molecule sensing.

Prediction‐Based Algorithms for Long‐Range High‐Speed Force Spectroscopy

Journal of Molecular Recognition, Volume 39, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT We present a high‐speed force microscopy platform mounted on a confocal microscope with a z sample stage enabling long‐range, high‐speed force spectroscopy measurements on biological samples. The control software is built on a field‐programmable gate array (FPGA)‐based data acquisition and processing system, complemented with a custom ...

Coupled acoustoplasmonic resonators: the role of geometrical symmetries

Nanophotonics
Acoustoplasmonic resonators, such as nanobars and crosses, are efficient acousto-optical transducers. The excitation of mechanical modes in these structures strongly depends on the spatial profile of the eigenmodes of the resonator. Using a system of two

Artificial Catch Bonds: From Molecular Design to Network Mechanics

ChemSystemsChem, Volume 8, Issue 5, September 2026.
Catch bonds strengthen rather than weaken under force. This review follows the discovery and development of our understanding of this counterintuitive phenomenon, from the molecular mechanisms that produce it to the design rules for engineering it in DNA, proteins, and polymers, and on to the collective network mechanics enabling materials that stiffen
