Soft Tick Relapsing Fever — United States, 2012–2021
MMWR. Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, 2023 Soft tick relapsing fever (STRF) (also known as tickborne relapsing fever) is a rare infection caused by certain Borrelia spirochetes and transmitted to humans by soft-bodied Ornithodoros ticks. In the United States, acquisition of STRF is commonly associated with exposure to rustic cabins, camping, and caves.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study investigates zwitterionic all‐solid‐state electrolytes, demonstrating strong carboxyl‐Li+ interaction that forms “ion‐enrichment pathway”‐like domains and manipulates Li+ deposition. Additionally, surface‐enriched zwitterions generate a dual‐layer SEI with an inner Li2O‐rich and outer LiF‐rich structure. Through ionic flux regulation and SEI

A Multimodal Haptic Feedback Interface with Thin‐Film Compliant Mechanism
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Multimodal haptic devices can trigger different mechanoreceptors, enabling richer haptic information. This study presents an electromagnetic multimodal haptic device capable of delivering indentation, stretch, and vibration stimuli. The device is enabled by a novel polymer thin‐film compliant mechanism that provides high translational compliance along ...

Savicalin, a lipocalin from hemocytes of the soft tick, Ornithodoros savignyi [PDF]
Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2010 Savicalin, is a lipocalin found in the hemocytes of the soft tick, Ornithodoros savignyi. It could be assigned to the tick lipocalin family based on BLAST analysis. Savicalin is the first non-salivary gland lipocalin described in ticks. The mature sequence is composed of 188 amino acids with a molecular mass of 21481.9 Da.

Controlled Peptide Capture and Release in 3D‐Printed Multimaterial Microstructures
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Two‐photon laser printing of 3D microstructures using a peptide‐containing ink is shown. The microstructures allow for controlled capture and release of target peptides through coiled‐coil interaction with the printed peptide inside the material. Based on these properties, orthogonal capture and stimuli‐mediated release possibilities inside printed ...

Emergent 3D Fermiology and Magnetism in an Intercalated Van der Waals System
Advanced Science, EarlyView.An emergent three‐dimensional electronic state is uncovered in an intercalated van der Waals system. A spin‐polarized intercalant‐host hybridized band crossing the Fermi level provides an itinerant channel for interlayer exchange, highlighting how electronic dispersion governs magnetic dimensionality.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A flexible pressure sensor with triple‐gradient design of conductivity, modulus, and dimension in binary micro‐dome pixels is proposed. Based on precisely‐designed CNT/PDMS matrix, the device exhibits a linear sensitivity of 974.1 kPa−1 across range up to 1.8 MPa (R2 > 0.99), offering an effective strategy for potential applications in healthcare ...
