Composites of Shellac and Silver Nanowires as Flexible, Biobased, and Corrosion‐Resistant Transparent Conductive Electrodes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Shellac, a centuries‐old natural resin, is reimagined as a green material for flexible electronics. When combined with silver nanowires, shellac films deliver transparency, conductivity, and stability against humidity. These results position shellac as a sustainable alternative to synthetic polymers for transparent conductors in next‐generation ...

Matrix stiffness drives drop like nuclear deformation and lamin A/C tension-dependent YAP nuclear localization

Nature Communications
Extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness influences cancer cell fate by altering gene expression. Previous studies suggest that stiffness-induced nuclear deformation may regulate gene expression through YAP nuclear localization.

Lamin microaggregates lead to altered mechanotransmission in progerin-expressing cells

Nucleus, 2020
The nuclear lamina is a meshwork of intermediate filament proteins, and lamin A is the primary mechanical protein. An altered splicing of lamin A, known as progerin, causes the disease Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome.

Major nuclear locales define nuclear genome organization and function beyond A and B compartments

eLife
Models of nuclear genome organization often propose a binary division into active versus inactive compartments yet typically overlook nuclear bodies. Here, we integrated analysis of sequencing and image-based data to compare genome organization in four ...

Roles of the Nuclear Lamina in Stable Nuclear Association and Assembly of a Herpesviral Transactivator Complex on Viral Immediate-Early Genes

mBio, 2012
Little is known about the mechanisms of gene targeting within the nucleus and its effect on gene expression, but most studies have concluded that genes located near the nuclear periphery are silenced by heterochromatin.

Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.

Polycomb-lamina antagonism partitions heterochromatin at the nuclear periphery

, 2022
Here the authors developed ‘Lamina-Inducible Methylation and Hi-C’ (LIMe-Hi-C) to simultaneously measure chromosome conformation, DNA methylation, and nuclear lamina positioning. Application of the method revealed dynamic changes upon PRC2 inhibition and
