Including different mesozooplankton feeding strategies in a biogeochemical ocean model impacts global ocean biomass and carbon cycle [PDF]

Biogeosciences
Mesozooplankton present a wide range of functionally diverse heterotrophic organisms ranging from 200 µm to 2 cm that are essential to marine ecosystems and biogeochemical cycles.

Feeding and Digestion in Suspension-Feeding Bivalve Molluscs: The Relevance of Physiological Compensations [PDF]

American Zoologist, 1988
SYNOPSIS. Intertidal suspension-feeding bivalves face reductions in the time available for feeding proportional to the duration of aerial exposure. Such individuals do not compensate by increasing their rates of feeding during immersion. Simulations of feeding behaviour, in terms of the energetic balance between the costs and the gains of changes in ...

Self‐Assembled Hybrid Cell‐Enzyme Materials for Gas‐Powered Biocatalysis

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Integrating living cells with programmable enzyme networks enables hybrid materials that convert gaseous feedstocks into chemical reducing power. These gas‐powered catalytic beads operate as modular, recyclable platforms for adaptive biocatalysis and sustainable synthesis.

New early Paleocene (Danian) paguroids from deep-water coral/bryozoan mounds at Faxe, eastern Denmark

Geologija, 2020
During recent decades, decapod crustacean faunas from middle Danian (lower Paleocene) strata at Faxe (Sjælland, Denmark) have been studied in detail. However, paguroid anomurans have not yet been described formally.

Microplastic burden in marine benthic invertebrates depends on species traits and feeding ecology within biogeographical provinces

Nature Communications, 2023
The microplastic body burden of marine animals is often assumed to reflect levels of environmental contamination, yet variations in feeding ecology and regional trait expression could also affect a species’ risk of contaminant uptake.

An Epigenetic Fate Converter Based on Nuclei‐Targeting Lipid Nanoparticles Drives Neuronal Programming of Stem Cells for Spinal Cord Repair

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration of LNP‐MPG nuclei‐targeting delivery of HMW‐FGF2 promoting histone acetylation to regulate the fate of DPSCs and treat spinal cord injury. LNPs components include pHMW‐FGF2 plasmid, DSPC, Dlin‐MC3‐DMA, cholesterol, and PEG2000, and are modified with MPG to form HMW‐FGF2@LNP‐MPG (HLM). HLM nuclei‐targets DPSCs to deliver HMW‐FGF2,

Gradual change and mosaic pattern of macrofaunal assemblages along depth and sediment gradients in a tropical oceanic island [PDF]

Neotropical Biology and Conservation
The ecology of macrofauna on the sandy bottom of oceanic islands in the tropics has rarely been studied. The present study was conducted at Isla del Coco, Costa Rica, a tropical oceanic island, to determine how the soft-bottom macrofauna assemblages vary

Biodegradable 3D‐Printable and Coatable Antifouling Composites for Marine Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Marine biofouling damages submerged surfaces and raises greenhouse gas emissions. Biodegradable antifouling biocomposites were developed by hot‐mixing beeswax, Tween 80, and calcium stearate or stearic acid. Adjusting the component ratio enables processing via hot‐pressing, 3D‐printing, or dip‐coating.

Microfluidic Nano‐Assembly of Red‐Blood‐Cell (RBC) Lipids and Components for Engineering Extracellular Vesicles

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Engineered red blood cell‐derived extracellular vesicles (eRBCEVs) are synthesized via controlled microfluidic assembly from native RBC lipids, enabling tunable encapsulation of proteins, nucleic acids, nanoparticles, and viral vectors. The platform demonstrates reproducible nanoscale architecture, preserved membrane composition, and functional cargo ...
