Small Science, EarlyView.A microfluidic assay to study actin‐driven shape changes of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) is developed. This system enables high‐throughput analysis of membrane remodeling and reveals how actin networks and lipid domains influence each other. It offers a powerful tool to dissect membrane deformation mechanisms in controlled environments. Cell shape

State Capture—Institutionalized Corruption of the South African Revenue Service
Thunderbird International Business Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study provides valuable insight for scholars, practitioners, and government officials on how a local office of a respected international consulting firm became associated with allegations of illicit influence and state capture. The article presents how political and business leaders used a government agency, the South African Revenue ...

Fungal DNA‐barcoding on a chip: Magnetoresistive biosensors for yeast infection diagnosis
VIEW, EarlyView.The development of a fungal pathogen identification chip is herein demonstrated. Hybridization dynamics were tested against 58 species in silico and 4 species on chip. 95% accuracy, 91% sensitivity, 98% specificity and femtomolar limit of detection were achieved. Future perspectives include the integration of sample pre‐treatment modules.

PSR J1947−1120: A New Huntsman Millisecond Pulsar Binary
The Astrophysical JournalWe present the discovery of PSR J1947–1120, a new huntsman millisecond pulsar with a red giant companion star in a 10.3 day orbit. This pulsar was found via optical, X-ray, and radio follow-up of the previously unassociated γ -ray source 4FGL J1947.6 ...

Feline inferior tricholemmoma: Histological and immunohistochemical characterisation
Veterinary Record Case Reports, EarlyView.Abstract Feline inferior tricholemmoma is a benign hair follicular tumour with minimal outer root sheath differentiation. The diagnosis is rarely suggested clinically, and this may contribute to frequent underrecognition by the histopathologist. A spayed female Munchkin cat exhibited a subcutaneous growth of a mass, 1.7 cm in diameter, located on the ...

Measuring the core rotation of red giant stars
, 2016 Red giant stars present mixed modes, which behave as pressure modes in the convective envelope and as gravity modes in the radiative interior. This mixed character allows to probe the physical conditions in their core.

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Strains of microbial symbionts often vary in their effect on their host. However, little is known about how the genetic variation in microbial symbiont populations impacts host interactions with other co‐colonizing microbes.

Mass-feeding of jet-launching white dwarfs in grazing and common envelope evolution
The Open Journal of AstrophysicsI propose a scenario that allows white dwarfs (WDs) to launch relatively powerful jets when they enter a common envelope evolution (CEE) or experience a grazing envelope evolution (GEE) with a red giant branch star (RGB) or an asymptotic giant branch ...
