Myogenic Fusogen‐Engineered Lipid Nanoparticles Enhance mRNA Delivery in Skeletal Muscle

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study reports a biomimetic strategy of engineering full‐length Myomaker, a muscle‐specific fusogen, into lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to harness the native myoblast fusion capability for skeletal muscle mRNA delivery. The resulting Mymk‐LNPs enhance transfection in differentiating myocytes and enable Cre‐mediated reporter activation in injured ...

Enhancement of cold hardiness by acclimation is stage-specific in the non-diapausing pupae of onion maggot Delia antiqua (Diptera: Anthomyiidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2006
When puparia of the onion maggot Delia antiqua were preexposed to 5°C for 5 days starting at different time points after pupariation, a large increase in survival after exposure to -20°C for 5 days was observed only when pre-exposure was initiated at 3-6

A Thermoreversible Gelation Pathway to Plant Cuticle‐Inspired Biopolymer Aerogel Monoliths Based on Network‐Spherulitic Crystal Assemblies

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
To address functionality limitations in plant‐based and industrially compostable polymer aerogels, this work introduces bio‐inspired aerogels with broadened functionality. Inspired by functional plant tissues, lightweight biopolymer aerogels based on exclusively stereocomplex crystals are fabricated, featuring hierarchically macro‐/meso‐porous ...

Supercooling Points ofLysiphlebus testaceipesand Its HostSchizaphis graminum [PDF]

Environmental Entomology, 2008
Supercooling points (SCPs) were measured for various life stages of male and female Lysiphlebus testaceipes (Cresson) parasitoids, along with mummies and its aphid host, Schizaphis graminum (Rondani). Some parasitoids were acclimated (4 h at 10 degrees C before cooling down to the SCP) to determine whether this could significantly lower the SCP ...

Percolation‐Driven β‐Relaxation Enables Resonant Acceleration of Crystallization in Amorphous Phase‐Change Materials

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Mobile‐atom percolation underlying β‐relaxations fundamentally dictates the crystallization pathways of phase‐change materials. High‐frequency ultrasonic excitation dynamically modulates this critical mobility percolation network, substantially accelerating the crystallization process.
