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

The influence of large predators on the feeding ecology of two African mesocarnivores: the black-backed jackal and the brown hyaena [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Interactions between apex and mesopredators and their impacts on prey populations have been well documented, while the influence of apex predators such as lions on carrion availability and the subsequent impacts at lower trophic levels are not fully ...

Development of a Sensitive Electrochemical Aptasensor for Non‐Small Cell Lung Cancer Extracellular Vesicle Detection

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A novel electrochemical aptasensor enables the selective detection of lung cancer‐derived EVs by targeting the CD44 surface marker. The sensor uses a self‐assembled monolayer (SAM) for aptamer immobilization and achieves label‐free EV detection through electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.

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.

How Real‐Time Kinetics Explain the Different Interaction of Cubosomes and Hexosomes Nanoparticles with Lipid Membranes

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
GMO cubosomes and DOPE hexosomes interact differently with lipid membranes: cubosomes exchange lipid molecules with the membranes, destabilizing them when the membranes do not contain cholesterol. Hexosomes interact more gently with membranes and tend to fuse and incorporate into them.

Layer‐By‐Layer Deposition for 2D Nanoparticle Superlattices Stabilized by Schiff Base Reaction for a Recyclable SERS Application

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
2D gold nanoparticle superlattices (Au NPSLs) stabilized by Schiff base reaction are formed by a layer‐by‐layer deposition method. As‐synthesized 2D Au NPSLs show high structural stability in solvents of different polarity. Due to their high structural stability, the 2D Au NPSLs can be reused as surface enhanced Raman scattering substrates for 10 ...

Predatory Equity: Evolution of a Crisis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This paper suggests that tenants and communities around New York City face a serious crisis stemming from the scale of the predatory equity model and the pending default crisis. New protections and strategies must be put in place to safeguard the tenants,
