Avian Nests and Nest-Building as Signals

Avian Biology Research, 2012
Birds may signal their condition, health or parental disposition to mates through large nests or intense or elaborate nest-building. The mass, number or elaborateness of nests may exceed their strict reproductive requirements. In several species, courtship rituals include exhibition of nesting materials to mates, and some nests are not used for ...

Hybrid Nanofibers for Multimodal Accelerated Wound Healing

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Fabrication of wound healing scaffolds based on biocompatible nanofibers. Nanofibers offering high surface area, flexibility, and biocompatibility significantly improved the healing outcome in vivo. Histological, immunological, and anti‐inflammatory markers are noticeably better in treated wounds.

Hybrid Scaffolds Decouple Biochemical & Biophysical Regulation of Cell Phenotype

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Replicating tissue‐specific extracellular matrix is crucial for understanding its role in disease. This work demonstrates independent control over stiffness, composition and 3D collagen architecture using hybrid scaffolds: patterned collagen perfused with defined hydrogels.

Dynamic nesting of Anaplasma marginale in the microbial communities of Rhipicephalus microplus

Ecology and Evolution
Interactions within the tick microbiome involving symbionts, commensals, and tick‐borne pathogens (TBPs) play a pivotal role in disease ecology. This study explored temporal changes in the microbiome of Rhipicephalus microplus, an important cattle tick ...
