Bacterial Community Composition and Functional Potential of the Kleptoplastic Sea Slug Elysia papillosa

Biomolecules
Certain sacoglossan sea slugs, often known as “solar-powered sea slugs”, are a group of marine gastropods that have the unique ability to photosynthesize by stealing functional chloroplasts from algae.

Tumor‐Derived Exosomal circAP2B1 Induces M2 Macrophage Polarization by Enhancing Mitochondrial Homeostasis to Promote Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Progression

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ESCC‐derived exosomal circAP2B1 promotes tumor progression by reprogramming mitochondrial metabolism via the ESRRA/KPNA1/MFN2 axis to induce M2 polarization of macrophages. ABSTRACT Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remodels the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment via exosome‐mediated intercellular communication.

Fate and regulation of anterior-like cells in Dictyostelium slugs [PDF]

, 1982
A pattern of two tissue types exists in the Dictyostelium slug. Contained within the posterior tissue are anterior-like cells which comprise about 10% of the developing cell mass.

Engineered Xenogeneic Bone Scaffold with IL‐10 Nanodelivery System: Immunomodulation and BMSC Fate Programming for Skull Defect Repair

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A multifunctional regenerative composite is constructed by 3D‐printing thermosensitive PNIPAM hydrogel embedded with MPDA@IL‐10 nanoparticles and autologous BMSCs onto antigen‐depleted porcine bone matrix for beagle critical‐sized skull defect reconstruction.

Prey preference follows phylogeny: evolutionary dietary patterns within the marine gastropod group Cladobranchia (Gastropoda: Heterobranchia: Nudibranchia)

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2017
Background The impact of predator-prey interactions on the evolution of many marine invertebrates is poorly understood. Since barriers to genetic exchange are less obvious in the marine realm than in terrestrial or freshwater systems, non-allopatric ...

Bio‐Inspired Gradient Coatings Enhance the Leading Edge Erosion Resistance of Wind Blades

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Rain‐induced erosion of the wind turbine blade leading edge poses a critical challenge to maintenance and operation. Here, we propose a bio‐inspired approach for erosion protection utilising a platelet‐reinforced polyurethane coating with a graded through‐thickness architecture.

3D Printed Meter‐Scale Soft Origami Robots Capable of Load‐Bearing Actuation Via Crease Stiffness Modulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Origami has inspired numerous soft deployable mechanisms for safe human‐robot interaction, while its intrinsic kinematic instability at arbitrary configurations limited their practical robotic application. This work presents a 3D printed meter‐scale origami robotic actuator capable of load‐bearing deformation through creaseline stiffness modulation.

An Unexpected Small Biodiversity Oasis of Sea Slugs (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Heterobranchia) in the Largest Petrochemical Hub of Italy (Central Mediterranean)

Oceans
The Magnisi peninsula is a small portion of land located near the largest Italian petrol-chemical pole of Augusta–Priolo–Melilli (40 km2), which, since the 1950s, devastated the local environment and landscape and unloaded directly into the sea an ...
