Cetaceans as Potentially Useful Animal Models for Human Central Nervous System Disorders
Stranded cetaceans provide a unique opportunity for gaining insight into their increasingly threatened health and conservation. Within this framework, cetaceans could also serve as potentially useful animal models for human central nervous system (CNS) diseases (Di Guardo, 2023).
Either long-term grazing or long-term exclosure is not good grassland management strategy
Long-term grazing can disrupt the associations between plant biodiversity and ecosystem multifunctionality, while long-term exclosures may disrupt the associations between soil biodiversity and ecosystem multifunctionality, thus either is not good grassland management strategy.
Full-length MSP1 as a malaria vaccine: is there hope?
Successful immunisation studies in monkeys based on MSP1 involved the use of the full-length protein as a malaria vaccine. However, unsuccessful human trials only tested MSP1 subunits. We explore the potential of SumayaVac-1 to broadly stimulate immune mechanisms associated with protection.
Photocatalytically reactive surfaces for simultaneous water harvesting and treatment
We demonstrate a rationally designed system that can capture fog at high efficiency while degrading organic pollutants simultaneously.
Unraveling the Evolutionary History of Snake Toxins
Organisms poison each other for various reasons, making toxins a core component of the chemical ecology of many species. Some of these poisonous critters, including snakes, have a significant impact on human populations. Venture into the captivating world of snake toxins with us!
Chromophore carbonyl twisting in fluorescent biosensors encodes direct readout of protein conformations with multicolor switching
Understanding the conformational coupling mechanism between a protein and a conjugated fluorophore enables structure-based biosensor design

Diving into connections between the gut microbiota and host lipids
Correlations hint at connections between host traits and groups of bacteria from the gut microbiota, but the underlying mechanisms are often hard to figure out. We explored the biology of understudied gut bacteria from the genus Turicibacter and identified one way they are linked to host lipids.
Fully printed Robotic Gripper with human cognitive adaptability to revolutionize households
To expand robotic applications in household tasks, a lightweight 3D printed, cognitive robotic gripper (COGBOT) with decision-making capabilities was developed employing graphene ink printed capacitive multi-sensor array (CAPSENSAR) which bestows human cognitive perspective to the COGOT.
