Genetic, structural, and functional characterization of allomelanin from black yeast Exophiala viscosa, a chassis for fungal melanin production

open access: yesApplied Microbiology and Biotechnology
Melanized fungi are known for their remarkable resilience to environmental stress, largely attributed to the protective properties of melanin. In this study, we establish the black yeast Exophiala viscosa as a non-pathogenic, genetically tractable model ...

From Nature to Engineering: Mortar Volume and Interfacial Mechanics in Bioinspired Ceramics

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by natural armors like nacre, this study explores how varying the volume fraction of the soft mortar layer impacts the interfacial strength and toughness of bioinspired ceramics. Experimental and computational analysis reveals that higher mortar volumes increase energy dissipation but reduce interfacial stiffness, offering insights for ...
