Miniaturized Magnetic Tip Design for Endoluminal Vine Robot Navigation

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A magnetic tip mount is designed for a miniaturized 7 mm soft‐growing vine robot to enable wireless magnetic steering and onboard imaging, while preserving a 3 mm working channel. The internal–external ring magnets design balances magnetic attachment with low eversion pressure. Experiments demonstrate ±90° steering, 34 mm bending radius, and successful

Biophysical Stress Responses of the Yeast Lachancea thermotolerans During Dehydration Using Synchrotron-FTIR Microspectroscopy

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
During industrial yeast production, cells are often subjected to deleterious hydric variations during dehydration, which reduces their viability and cellular activity. This study is focused on the yeast Lachancea thermotolerans, particularly sensitive to

A Pollen‐Enhanced Bionic Mechanoreceptor Induced by Asymmetric Ionic Convection in Hydrogel for Sensory‐Augmented Prostheses

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work proposed a pollen‐enhanced bionic mechanoreceptor based on ionic convection. Leveraging the ion anchoring effect of the pollen particle, the output performance could be ∼12 times higher than the original state. By employing deep learning models as AI brains, the feasibility of a sensory‐augmented prosthesis consisting of a pollen‐enhanced ...

Monitoring of lipid oxidation using a fluorescent sol-gel functionalized material

Sensing and Bio-Sensing Research
The food industry lacks rapid, easy-to-use and non-toxic analytical methods to assess the oxidation level of lipid-rich products. A new fluorescent sol-gel sensing material was developed for the fast and simple monitoring of carbonyls secondary products ...

Auto‐Downregulation of the Florigen FT Production Prevents Precocious Flowering in Plants

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study shows that the leaf vein‐expressed FD complexes with the florigen FT to bind DNA motifs in FT promoter, which antagonizes CONSTANS‐mediated FT activation to feedback down‐regulate FT expression. This prevents an excessive induction of FT expression by inductive photoperiods, thereby precluding precocious transition to flowering in ...

Membrane vesicles produced by next-generation probiotics from the gut as innovative tools for human health

Gut Microbes
Probiotics have long been recognized for their health-promoting properties, primarily through their interaction with the gut microbiota. In recent years, Next-Generation Probiotics (NGPs), including Akkermansia muciniphila and Faecalibacterium duncaniae,

Specificity Assessment of CRISPR Genome Editing of Oncogenic EGFR Point Mutation with Single-Base Differences

Molecules, 2019
In CRISPR genome editing, CRISPR proteins form ribonucleoprotein complexes with guide RNAs to bind and cleave the target DNAs with complete sequence complementarity. CRISPR genome editing has a high potential for use in precision gene therapy for various

Case Studies PAM JAYA and PAM Lyonnaise Jaya

, 2022
Case Studies PAM JAYA and PAM Lyonnaise Jaya.The coverage of ‘PAM JAYA’ as Jakarta’s public water utilities was only 1,374,777 people, a mere 32% of 4,302,846 (1997). The unit connection improved very slowly and the balance between the subsidised and non-subsidised customers never really improved. Since The number of people in Jakarta also increase.

Harnessing Phase Separation for the Development of High‐Performance Hydrogels

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydrogels are indispensable for the development of next‐generation bioelectronics, soft robotics, and biomedical devices, where their mechanical properties determine performance and reliability. Among strategies to enhance hydrogel mechanics, phase separation enables controlled heterogeneity resulting in gel networks that are reinforced by ...
