The Illegal Town Plan: Anecdotal Speculation for Coastal Futures
The Illegal Town Plan aims to understand and develop community- based futures for economic and social development. This case study describes and analyses an ongoing practice-based research project that began in 2015.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Building a New World in the Shell of the Old: Co-Designing Post-Capitalist Visions
Designers working towards social change have often focused on designing discrete solutions to social problems, rather than working within the long-term world-making practices of movements.

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Speculative Fabulation to Reclaim the Verbal Dimension of Co-design [PDF]
Man has always been a narrating animal. In 2009, the literary critic Brian Boyd offered the first comprehensive account of the evolutionary origins of storytelling.

Discourse, speculation and multidisciplinarity: Designing urban futures
This paper presents a design case study, a summer school that brought together a multi-disciplinary group of early- career professionals to explore ideas relating to new technologies in an urban context. The organisers of this school took an explicitly design-informed approach to the event, specifically a ‘critical design’ approach.

Hyperosmotic stress induces PARP1‐mediated HPF1‐dependent mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation
Sorbitol‐induced hyperosmotic stress rapidly induces reversible mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation (MARylation) on PARP1 without the signs of genotoxic signaling. We show that PARP1 autoMARylation is HPF1 dependent and forms hydroxylamine‐resistant O‐glycosidic linkages.

We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Speculative Designs: Towards a Social Music.
This paper introduces a collaborative research project in which the authors explored the possibilities of music making using social media. We aimed for this music to reflect the various genres born of social media, for example the selfie, the tweet, the emoticon.
