An elastic segment of the whisker shaft enables coding of the whisking phase via whisker torsion in rats and mice

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
An elastic segment was found in the basal part of the whisker shaft in rats and mice. Application of force to the whisker bulb of isolated follicles caused bending and twisting of this segment. Active whisker movements deform this segment, causing whisker shaft deflection and selective activation of mechanoreceptors at different phases of whisking ...

Transient Transfection of Rolling‐Circle Amplified DNA in Biomanufacturing‐Relevant Mammalian Cell Lines: A Comparison of Transfection Conditions for Optimal Protein Expression

open access: yesBiotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rolling‐circle amplification (RCA) is a completely synthetic and rapid mechanism for scaling‐up bulk DNA that eliminates requirements for large‐scale bacterial fermentation. Several reports have described the surprising ability of large unprocessed (hyperbranched) rolling circle‐amplified DNA (RCA DNA) to effectively transfect cultured cells ...

Grafting Nanolayers of Ni and Co Catalysts Around the Edges of Hierarchical Zeolite 13X by Leveraging the Crystal's Defects for CO2 Methanation

open access: yesCarbon Energy, EarlyView.
The deactivation of nickel‐based catalysts at high temperatures poses a significant challenge in CO2 methanation processes. To address this, a strong metal–support interaction between nickel and the support was engineered by exploiting the crystal defects present in hierarchical porous zeolite 13X.
