The Meat of the Matter: A thumb rule for scavenging dogs? [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Animals that scavenge in and around human localities need to utilize a broad range of resources. Preference for any one kind of food, under such circumstances, might be inefficient. Indian free-ranging dogs, Canis lupus familiaris are scavengers that are heavily dependent on humans for sustaining their omnivorous diet.

Detection in Molecular Communications with Ligand Receptors under Molecular Interference [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Molecular Communications (MC) is a bio-inspired communication technique that uses molecules to transfer information among bio-nano devices. In this paper, we focus on the detection problem for biological MC receivers employing ligand receptors to infer the transmitted messages encoded into the concentration of molecules, i.e., ligands.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.A novel hydrogel (HLBP) incorporating natural polysaccharides from goji berries is developed to enhance diabetic bone defect healing. The hydrogel efficiently scavenges ROS, improves osteogenic differentiation, and promotes in vivo bone regeneration. This strategy offers a biocompatible and localized approach, overcoming the challenges of traditional ...

Structure and dynamics of dynorphin peptide and its receptor [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Dynorphin is a neuropeptide involved in pain, addiction and mood regulation. It exerts its activity by binding to the kappa opioid receptor (KOP) which belongs to the large family of G-protein coupled receptors. The dynorphin peptide was discovered in 1975, while its receptor was cloned in 1993.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Melanoma cell spheroid engraftment is optimized in the chicken chorioallantoic membrane overcoming the complexity of other in vivo models. Using this model, greater penetration of cerium oxide nanoparticles (nanoceria) functionalized with heparin in spheroids is observed via enhancement of vascularization than nanoceria alone.
