Fiber Reinforcement of Soft Spider Silk Hydrogels

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Along the development of matrices for biomedical applications, precise tuning of the biomaterial to interact with specific cell types/tissues is essential. The fabrication of fiber mesh‐reinforced soft hydrogels made of recombinant spider silk proteins allows for the adjustment of mechanical properties and hydrogel porosity, leading to improved cell ...

Synthesis of Telechelic‐Type Polypeptides Functionalized with Aromatic Units and the Characterization of Their Structures and Thermal Properties

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Polypeptide chains were extended from both ends of aromatic diamines by chemoenzymatic polymerization, resulting in the synthesis of telechelic polyglycines (TPG) and polyalanines (TPA). These telechelic polymers assembled into branched nanofibrils through π‐π stacking of aromatic rings, with the polymer backbones bent at the aromatic unit.

Data‐Based Detection of Antagonistic Agents in a Robot Swarm Solving a Dynamic Coverage Task

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Robot swarms can be deployed as moving surveillance systems, for instance, as mobile anti‐poaching systems for monitoring wildlife and detecting poaching activities. Since poachers have an interest in evading detection, robots are at risk of being hijacked and manipulated to behave antagonistically, for example, to prevent the correct ...

High‐throughput transcriptome mining and in silico screening reveal saccharide feeding stimulants for Cydia pomonella larvae

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
We identified and characterized the gustatory and ionotropic receptors of Cydia pomonella using transcriptomics and in silico approaches, linking candidate sugar receptors to larval feeding attraction. Functional assays and behavioral tests highlighted isoquercitrin as a key feeding stimulant, providing a foundation for olfactory‐ and taste‐based pest ...

Ecosystem size reverses the effect of the spatial coupling between autotrophic and heterotrophic ecosystems

Oikos, EarlyView.
The flow of non‐living resources between autotrophic and heterotrophic ecosystems can impact their ecosystem function. However, ecosystem size is similarly known to influence ecological properties and it is uncertain how the size of coupled ecosystems mediates the effect of resource flows.
