Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Biomonitoring the effects of urban-stream waters on the health status of pale chub (Zacco platypus): A comparative analysis of biological indexes and biomarker levels.

open access: yesEcotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2020
The objective of this study was to biomonitor the effects of potential environmental pollutants in urban-stream waters, on fish health. Pale chub (Zacco platypus), a dominant species in the Korea urban stream waters, was chosen and biomonitoring ...

Microscale Templating of Functional Particles Using Self‐Limiting Electrospray Deposition

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Self‐limiting electrospray deposition (SLED) uses trapped charge in a growing film to redirect incoming material and produce highly targeted and uniform sprays. Here, nanoparticles are added to sprays to functionalize pre‐patterned electrodes and other devices.

Nanopore Electroporation: A New Delivery Method Within the Field of Epigenetic Editing

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Nanopore‐mediated electroporation was used to deliver a CRISPRi system to clonal β‐cells. This enabled targeted downregulation of insulin expression while maintaining high cell viability. ABSTRACT Epigenetic modifications influence gene expression and contribute to type 2 diabetes (T2D), but establishing causality requires targeted modulation of ...

Resolution among major placental mammal interordinal relationships with genome data imply that speciation influenced their earliest radiations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background: A number of the deeper divergences in the placental mammal tree are still inconclusively resolved despite extensive phylogenomic analyses.

MaaSim: A Liveability Simulation for Improving the Quality of Life in Cities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Urbanism is no longer planned on paper thanks to powerful models and 3D simulation platforms. However, current work is not open to the public and lacks an optimisation agent that could help in decision making. This paper describes the creation of an open-

Compositional Gradient–Engineered Ti–WO3 Films for Simultaneous Enhancement of Coloration Efficiency and Mechanical Robustness

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
A gradient Ti‐doped WO3 electrochromic film is developed via dynamic co‐sputtering, enabling depth‐dependent band engineering and strain regulation. The gradient structure induces a built‐in electric field across the film thickness that enhances coupled ion–electron transport while improving mechanical robustness.

Origin of Ciguateric Fish: Quantitative Modelling of the Flow of Ciguatoxin through a Marine Food Chain

open access: yesToxins, 2022
To begin to understand the impact of food chain dynamics on ciguatera risk, we used published data to model the transfer of ciguatoxins across four trophic levels of a marine food chain in Platypus Bay, Australia.

Drug pollution and pharmacotherapy in psychiatry: A “platypus” in the room

open access: yesEuropean psychiatry, 2020
Preoccupation about potential deleterious effects of pharmaceuticals in the environment is growing fast. Psychiatric pharmaceuticals have received particular attention because of their increasing use and their potential impacts on many living beings due ...
