Engineered Living Energy Materials
Engineered living energy materials (ELEMs) are nascent research frontier for enabling sustainable energy conversion and storage. These materials exhibit unique characteristics such as self‐regeneration, biodegradability, environmental response, and evolutionary adaptability. This paper overviews different energy conversion bio‐modules, summarizes their

Coordination of IFT20 With Other IFT Components Is Required for Ciliogenesis
Intraflagellar transport is a bidirectional transport system essential for ciliogenesis. Using the IFT20 knockout cell lines established in this study, we found that IFT20 deficiency significantly impaired ciliogenesis and reduced cilium length. Further investigation revealed that IFT20 interacted with other IFT proteins and regulated their levels and ...

Pericyte Electrical Signalling and Brain Haemodynamics
ABSTRACT Dynamic control of membrane potential lies at the nexus of a wide spectrum of biological processes, ranging from the control of individual cell secretions to the orchestration of complex thought and behaviour. Electrical signals in all vascular cell types (smooth muscle cells, endothelial cells and pericytes) contribute to the control of ...

Sexual dichromatism increases with altitude in birds with ultraviolet sensitive vision
Previous work has shown a significant relationship between sexual dichromatism and altitude in birds, however, this work was focused on either a small subset of avian diversity or used human scoring to assess sexual dichromatism. In this study, we compared human scoring and spectrophotometry scoring to study this relationship and found no significant ...
