Dual‐function, Reusable, and Flexible Thermal Interface for Kinetic Monitoring of In Vitro Bioassays

Small Methods, EarlyView.
This work presents a reusable, dual‐function thermal interface for non‐contact, label‐free sensing and microwell‐independent temperature control in microplates within a single element. Real‐time monitoring of E. coli growth and the response to antibiotic treatment demonstrates the sensor's enhanced sensitivity in interface‐dominated processes compared ...

Advancing Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes toward Next‐Generation Electronic Materials: The Critical Roles of Purity and Processability

Small Methods, EarlyView.
Single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are promising for a wide range of applications. In particular, their exceptional electrical conductivity positions them as potential alternatives to traditional metal conductors. This review identifies the key mechanisms governing their conductivity within composites and proposes practical pathways for translating

A Hanks‐type bacterial kinase, PknS, directly phosphorylates the alternative sigma factor EcfK to promote resistance to protist predation

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The Xanthomonas citri Hanks‐type kinase PknS autophosphorylates and directly phosphorylates the alternative sigma factor EcfK at five residues. Besides the conserved residue T51 in the σ2 domain, phosphorylation of a residue in the linker between σ2 and σ4 is critical for EcfK activation by promoting its interaction with a positively charged pocket in ...

Making Molecular Diagnostics Faster

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Over the past 40 years, molecular diagnostic methods have evolved from multi‐step, time‐consuming protocols towards either rapid targeted tests or expansive, massively parallel testing. Aims Here we consider the speed limits of targeted molecular diagnostics, considering the three sequential required steps: nucleic acid preparation,

Understanding Atrial Fibrillation Complexity Through the Lens of Turbulence Dynamics: Implications for Treatment Strategies

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice. Its incidence increases significantly with age and has become a major global public health issue. Although research into the mechanisms of AF has spanned over a century‐ranging from the reentry theory to the rotor hypothesis‐none of these

The unicellular green microalga Botryosphaerella sudetica links plant‐like light protection with an algal lifestyle

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) mechanisms fine‐tune light utilisation in the photosynthetic antenna, for example, in response to excess light, to prevent photodamage. NPQ comprises distinct mechanisms, all contributing to photoprotection but acting on different time scales.

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

Structure mirroring function: What's the ‘matter’ with the funny current?

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The ‘funny’ (If) current of cardiac pacemaker cells has been first identified in the late 1970s as a major mechanism in the generation and control of cardiac pacemaking. Decades of studies have since described the properties of the funny current and of its molecular components, HCN channels, in the heart and brain, providing the ...
