Trends in the availability of the vulture-toxic drug, diclofenac, and other NSAIDs in South Asia, as revealed by covert pharmacy surveys

open access: yesBird conservation international, 2020
Summary The catastrophic declines of three species of ‘Critically Endangered’ Gyps vultures in South Asia were caused by unintentional poisoning by the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) diclofenac.

Antibiotic‐Mediated Plasmonic‐Mie Resonance for Biosensing Applications on a Novel Silicon Nanopillar Metasurface

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Unique nanopillar metasurfaces are fabricated for the purpose of sensitive detection to refractive index changes in the presence of gold nanoparticles. The addition of these nanoparticles to the surface of the silicon nanopillars is facilitated via a novel antibiotic‐mediated linker system to promote localized surface plasmon effects resulting from Mie

Challenges of Soft Tissue Integration Around Dental Implants and Strategies Based on Material Surface Modification

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Peri‐implant soft tissue integration (STI), weaker than natural teeth, raises peri‐implant disease risk. Gingival‐region material surface properties critically modulate soft‐tissue responses, driving surface modifications to enhance STI. This review provides an in‐depth analysis of the challenges of STI around dental implants, comprehensively reviews ...

Preferential Membrane Remodeling on Curved Biointerfaces Induced by Conjugated Oligoelectrolyte

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study explores how membrane shape influences the interaction of conjugated oligoelectrolytes (COEs) with lipid bilayers. Using a curved biointerface composed of nanobar arrays and supported lipid bilayers, it is revealed that COE intercalation preferentially remodels curved regions, forming distinct structures. These findings highlight the role of

Of the hunter and the hunted [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Ramadevara Betta in Ramanagara is home to the critically- endangered long-billed vulture. But tourism and widlife photography seem to be doing a lot of harm to the region’s birdlife.

Unraveling the Nanoscale Structure of Organic–Inorganic Hybrid Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A Si‐wafer‐based NPs@SILP system facilitates detailed characterization of spatial structure and interactions between ionic liquid molecules and nanoparticles. The approach yields a uniform ionic liquid monolayer decorated with evenly distributed Ru nanoparticles, showing particle deposition disturbs the SILP's conformational order.
