Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Mesenchymal stem cell‐derived nanoghosts (MSC‐NGs) mimic naturally secreted extracellular vesicles (MSC‐EVs) in structure and physicochemical properties but can be synthesized at more translatable yields. As osteogenic agents, MSC‐NGs demonstrate superior outcomes compared to MSC‐EVs.

Politics of evidence: Think tanks and the Academies Act
British Educational Research Journal, Volume 48, Issue 6, Page 1232-1253, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Previous research has identified political ideology as central in the landmark Academies Act (2010). This article further analyses how politics of evidence played its part in the policy process by focusing on long‐term structural changes and preferences among policymakers. The article draws on policymaker interviews after the reform, a mapping

Exploring the coevolution of predator and prey morphology and behavior [PDF]
Proceedings Artificial Life 15 (C. Gershenson, T. Froese, J.M.
Sisqueiros, W. Aguilar, E.J. Izquierdo, H. Sayama, eds.) MIT Press
(Cambridge, MA, 2016), pp. 250-258, 2016 A common idiom in biology education states, "Eyes in the front, the animal hunts. Eyes on the side, the animal hides." In this paper, we explore one possible explanation for why predators tend to have forward-facing, high-acuity visual systems. We do so using an agent-based computational model of evolution, where predators and prey interact and adapt ...

Ecology, 2018 Latitudinal gradients in species interactions are widely cited as potential causes or consequences of global patterns of biodiversity. However, mechanistic studies documenting changes in interactions across broad geographic ranges are limited.

A Bio‐Inspired Perspective on Materials Sustainability
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This perspective discusses natural materials as inspiration for sustainable engineering designs and the processing of materials. First, circularity, longevity, parsimony, and activity are presented as essential material paradigms. The perspective then uses many examples of natural and technical materials to introduce principles such as oligo ...

Acid digestion and symbiont: Proton sharing at the origin of mitochondriogenesis?
BioEssays, Volume 45, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 ADMit hypothesis for the origin of eukaryotes. A bacterial symbiont became associated with a protophagocytic host that captured prey with membrane processes. The symbiont cooperated to kill and digest the prey with reactive oxygen species and the acidification of the microenvironment.

Male-biased predation and its effect on paternity skew and life history in a population of common brushtail possums (Trichosurus vulpecula). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Differences in predation risk may exert strong selective pressures on life history strategies of populations. We investigated the potential for predation to shape male mating strategies in an arboreal folivore, the common brushtail possum (Trichosurus ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Extensive research confirms that abiotic stressors like predation risk can profoundly affect animal condition. However, there is a lack of experimental research assessing the suite of physiological responses to risk.

How predation shapes the social interaction rules of shoaling fish
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2017 Predation is thought to shape the macroscopic properties of animal groups, making moving groups more cohesive and coordinated. Precisely how predation has shaped individuals' fine-scale social interactions in natural populations, however, is unknown ...
