Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study presents an ultrasound‐responsive nanoplatform, CS‐BT@MZ@NEs, with a BaTiO3/Mn‐Zif‐8 core and a chondroitin sulfate coating for Golgi targeting. By leveraging neutrophil hitchhiking, it enables targeted delivery to infection sites. Under ultrasound stimulation, CS‐BT@MZ@NEs generates ROS and modulates Golgi pH to activate cGAS–STING ...

Coral Reefs on the Edge? Carbon Chemistry on Inshore Reefs of the Great Barrier Reef
PLoS ONE, 2014 While increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration alters global water chemistry (Ocean Acidification; OA), the degree of changes vary on local and regional spatial scales. Inshore fringing coral reefs of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) are subjected to a variety of local pressures, and some sites may already be marginal habitats for corals ...

Current issues relating to artificial reefs in European seas
, 2000 European artificial reef research has now been active for about three decades. For much of that time research has been conducted within national programmes, focussing on national or local issues, and has taken place predominately in the Mediterranean Sea.

Liquid Jetting‐Based Miniature Robotic Navigation in Confined Fluidic Spaces
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.We introduce a new class of liquid‐jetting‐based miniature robots (JetBots) ranging in size from mm‐to‐cm, featuring a unified approach in design, fabrication, and actuation. They demonstrate fast locomotion (30.3 cm/s), rapid steering (648.8°/s), and diverse functions, such as puncturing soft materials and unlimited cargo sampling and delivery, paving

Region-wide temporal and spatial variation in Caribbean reef architecture: is coral cover the whole story? [PDF]
, 2010 The architectural complexity of coral reefs is largely generated by reef-building corals, yet the effects of current regional-scale declines in coral cover on reef complexity are poorly understood.

Experimenteller Nachweis der metallbezogenen Funktion eines Cyanobactins
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Patellamide (Cyanobactine) werden von einer cyanobakteriellen Spezies in grosser Menge hergestellt. Diese zyklischen Peptide wurden in der Vergangenheit fast ausschliesslich auf ihre cytotoxischen Eigenschaften untersucht. Wir diskutieren neue experimentelle Daten, die auf eine Metallionen‐abhängige biologische Funktion der Patellamide schliessen ...
