Ga@MXene-based flexible wearable biosensor for glucose monitoring in sweat

iScience
Summary: Most wearable biosensors struggle to balance flexibility and conductivity in their sensing interfaces. In this study, we propose a wearable sensor featuring a highly stretchable, three-dimensional conductive network structure based on liquid ...

Little information loss with red-green color deficient vision in natural environments

iScience, 2023
Summary: Inherited color vision deficiency affects red-green discrimination in about one in twelve men from European populations. Its effects have been studied mainly in primitive foraging but also in detecting blushing and breaking camouflage. Yet there

The Unnatural Nature of Science [PDF]

European Review, 1993
Science provides the best way of understanding the world. Public understanding of science is limited: science goes against common sense, the earth moves round the sun. Paranormal beliefs are all too common and they go completely against science, there is a mystical element in our brains.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.
