Polybia-MP1 (MP1) is a bioactive host-defense peptide with known anticancer properties. Its
activity is attributed to excess serine (phosphatidylserine (PS)) on the outer leaflet of cancer …

With the resource-intensive meat industry accounting for over 50% of food-linked emissions,
plant protein consumption is an inevitable need of the hour. Despite its significance, the key …

Atomic force microscopy has developed into a powerful tool in the study of phase separation
in lipid bilayers. Its ability to image a semi-fluid surface under buffer at nanometre lateral …

An electrode surface is presented that enables the characterization of redox-active
membrane enzymes in a native-like environment. An ubiquinol oxidase from Escherichia coli, …

Hemostasis requires conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin fibers that generate a characteristic
network, interact with blood cells, and initiate tissue repair. The fibrin network is porous and …

2D metal nanomaterials offer exciting prospects in terms of their properties and functions.
However, the ambient aqueous synthesis of atomically‐thin, 2D metallic nanomaterials …

Previous studies have shown effects of thrombin and fibrinogen γ′ on clot structure. However,
structural information was obtained using electron microscopy, which requires sample …

Auxetic materials have negative Poisson’s ratios and so expand rather than contract in one
or several direction(s) perpendicular to applied extensions. The auxetics community has long …

The properties of (1,3)-β-glucans (ie, callose) remain largely unknown despite their importance
in plant development and defence. Here we use mixtures of (1,3)-β-glucan and cellulose, …

Microgel particles are highly tuneable materials that are useful for a wide range of industrial
applications, such as drug delivery, sensing, nanoactuation, emulsion stabilisation and use …
