Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Calibration Techniques for Low-Cost Star Trackers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This study presents a series of cost-e_ective strategies for calibrating star trackers for microsatellite missions. We examine three such strategies that focus on the calibration of the imaging detector, geometric lab calibration, and optical calibration

Space Situational Awareness in Very Low Earth Orbit for Re-Entry Object Monitoring

open access: yesAerospace
As the number of objects in orbit increases every year, the number of objects re-entering Earth’s atmosphere grows as well. Re-entry path prediction is tricky, as atmospheric modeling lacks accuracy and requires constant monitoring of the object during ...

Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Viruses infect all living organisms and have been responsible for major epidemics and pandemics. Their ongoing evolutionary battle with host defenses creates a constant need for improved tools to study viral behavior. Advancing methods to probe viral attachment, fusion, and genome release deepen our understanding of how infections begin and support the

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
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 ...

Assessment of geometric correction of remote sensing satellite images using RPC versus GCP [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Engineering Science and Military Technologies, 2018
Geometric distortions are common problems when dealing with remote sensing satellite images. Therefore, geometric correction is a necessary process for preparing remote sensing satellite images for many applications.

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...
