Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

On the Self-Start of Darrieus Vertical-Axis Wind Turbines: A Review of Promising Strategies
Applied SciencesSelf-start of lift-type Darrieus vertical-axis wind turbines remains one of the main obstacles limiting their wider application, especially at low wind speeds and low Reynolds numbers. This review examines the physical basis of the self-start problem and

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

The Stability at the Solid-Solid and Liquid-Solid Interfaces
, 2016 In this thesis, we studied three small subjects in the realm of continuum mechanics: imbibition in fluid mechanics, beam and rod buckling in solid mechanics and shell buckling at the solid-liquid interface. In chapter 2, we examined the radial imbibition into a homogenous semi-infinite porous media from a point source with infinite liquid supply.

Effect of Solidity and Camber Angle on Performance in Contra-rotating Open Rotor Design [PDF]
Journal of Applied Fluid MechanicsIn this paper, an aerodynamic design method for a contra-rotating open rotor based on lifting line theory is presented. By changing the number of blades, the solidity and camber angle are changed, and several different aerodynamic designs are completed ...
