Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.A shrinkage‐resistant hydrogel is developed to confer post‐fabrication shape fidelity. The hydrogel, based on recombinant spider silk protein eADF4(C16)‐RGD and collagen‐I, exhibits tunable mechanical properties and shrink‐resistance in the presence of fibroblasts as well as muscle cells.

Biological conduits based on spider silk for reconstruction of extended nerve defects
Innovative Surgical SciencesThe availability of appropriate conduits remains an obstacle for successful reconstruction of long-distance nerve defects. In previous sheep trials, we were able to bridge 6 cm nerve gaps with nerve conduits based on spider silk fibers with full ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.The biocompatibility of alginate dialdehyde (ADA) and gelatin (GEL) hydrogels cross‐linked with human transglutaminase (hTG) is demonstrated in vivo with a high degree of stability and angiogenic potential. The additional enzymatic cross‐linker hTG and the increased concentration improve stability and angiogenic potential. The X‐ray microscopy (XRM) is

Description of the unknown male of Ozyptila tenerifensis (Araneae: Thomisidae)
Arachnologische Mitteilungen, 2017 The unknown male of Ozyptila tenerifensis Wunderlich, 1992 endemic to Tenerife is described. This species is rarely collected and seems restricted to litter of understory broadleaf bushes in the Canary pine forest zone.

A Bio‐Inspired Perspective on Materials Sustainability
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This perspective discusses natural materials as inspiration for sustainable engineering designs and the processing of materials. First, circularity, longevity, parsimony, and activity are presented as essential material paradigms. The perspective then uses many examples of natural and technical materials to introduce principles such as oligo ...

Insects, 2019 Urban systems often support large numbers of non-native species, but due to the heterogeneity of urban landscapes, species are not evenly distributed. Understanding the drivers of ecological resistance in urban landscapes may help to identify habitats ...

A new approach to the $SL_n$ spider [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 The $SL_n$ spider gives a diagrammatic way to encode the representation category of the quantum group $U_q(sl_n)$. The aim of this paper is to define a new spider that contains the $SL_n$ spider. The new spider is defined by generators and relations, according to fairly simple rules that start with combinatorial data coming from the root system of ...
