Integration of epigenetics into ecotoxicology: insights and fundamental research needs
ABSTRACT Epigenetics refers to heritable changes in genome function that occur without direct alterations to the DNA sequence. A multitude of environmental contaminants can influence the epigenetic marks of a genome. Changes of epigenetic marks including DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non‐coding RNAs can induce alterations at the gene ...

Benefits of Lobster Translocation to Fishery Productivity and Economics in Tasmania
ABSTRACT Large‐scale translocation of Southern Rock Lobsters, Jasus edwardsii, in Tasmania has been conducted for over two decades. This involves moving slow‐growing lobsters from deep‐water areas to inshore, warmer areas to increase growth rates and improve commercial characteristics, especially shell color.

ABSTRACT The American Lobster (Homarus americanus) is the target of an extensive fishery in the Northwest Atlantic, yet there is no systematic method for evaluating relative performance of baits for the fishery. We used Baited Remote Underwater Video (BRUV) to assess lobster attraction to commercial baits versus natural prey.

The Effect of Amino Acids on the Formation of Amorphous Calcium Carbonate Nanoparticles
Biomineral formation often proceeds via the assembly of amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) nanoparticles with narrow size distributions. Using in situ SAXS coupled to a stopped‐flow device, we follow synthetic ACC formation with a 10 ms time resolution and show that amino acids narrow the size distribution at low supersaturation, highlighting their key ...

Robotic Materials With Bioinspired Microstructures for High Sensitivity and Fast Actuation
In the review paper, design rationale and approaches for bioinspired sensors and actuators in robotics applications are presented. These bioinspired microstructure strategies implemented in both can improve the performance in several ways. Also, recent ideas and innovations that embed robotic materials with logic and computation with it are part of the

A resonant frequency engineering strategy is proposed to modulate the sensibility of piezoresistive textile‐based tactile sensor. It achieves simultaneous detection of static pressure and dynamic vibrations across an unprecedented bandwidth of 5–600 Hz, surpassing human sensation, therefore enables rapid and precise braille recognition.

Aerogel Scaffolds: Breathing Life Into Tissue Repair and Companion Diagnostics
Aerogel scaffolds are emerging as multifunctional biomedical platforms that bridge regenerative engineering and molecular diagnostics. By integrating hierarchical porosity, tunable mechanics, and programmable surface chemistry, aerogels can simultaneously support tissue reconstruction and enable localized biomarker sampling and signal transduction ...
