Coronary blood flow is tightly adjusted to the oxygen requirements of the myocardium. The
underlying control mechanisms keep coronary venous pO 2 at a rather constant level around …

Microbial metabolites, such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), are highly produced in the
intestine and potentially regulate the immune system. We studied the function of SCFAs in the …

The development of synthetic nanomotors for technological applications in particular for life
science and nanomedicine is a key focus of current basic research. However, it has been …

Scope Grape seed polyphenol extract (GSPE) is receiving increasing attention for its
potential preventative and therapeutic roles in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other age‐related …

The use of enzyme catalysis to power micro- and nanomachines offers unique features such
as biocompatibility, versatility, and fuel bioavailability. Yet, the key parameters underlying …

Biocatalytic micro- and nanomotors have emerged as a new class of active matter self-propelled
through enzymatic reactions. The incorporation of functional nanotools could enable the …

Optical tweezers are exquisite position and force transducers and are widely used for high-resolution
measurements in fields as varied as physics, biology and materials science 1 , 2 , 3 …

INTRODUCTION Cytoskeletal motors drive many essential mechanical processes inside
cells. For example, kinesin motors are key for cell division or vesicle transport. Kinesin-1 …

Phenylalanine is a vital component of proteins in all living organisms, and in plants is a
precursor for thousands of additional metabolites. Animals are incapable of synthesizing …

In an optical trap, micron-sized dielectric particles are held by a tightly focused laser beam.
The optical force on the particle is composed of an attractive gradient force and a …
