Plants release phenolic molecules to protect against invading pathogens. In plant-microorganism relationships, phenolics bind to surface oligosaccharides, inactivating microorganism activities. Inspired by phenol-saccharide interactions in plant defense systems, we designed an adhesive sealant. [...]

In Good Company? Personal Relationships, Network Embeddedness, and Social Inclusion
/
Lubbers, Miranda J. (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament d'Antropologia Social i Cultural)
How do individuals' networks of personal relationships affect their social in- and exclusion? Researchers have shown that micro-level, informal relationships can be highly consequential for social inclusion, but in complex, contradictory ways: Personal networks reflect the degree of relational exclusion and protect against (other forms of) exclusion, but they also erode in conditions of exclusion and reproduce exclusion. [...]

'Sons of Bengal' and the Absent Daughters : Gender, Performativity and Nationalism in Bengali Juvenile Literature
/
Biswas, Stella Chitralekha (Central University of Gujarat (Índia))
This article looks at the asymmetrical bifurcation of gender roles and performativity that is reflected palpably within Bengali juvenile literature of the twentieth century. These writings strove to venerate a cult of hypermasculinity through the portrayal of brave, assertive Bengali heroes who engaged in various escapades in distant lands or in the solving of mysteries and crimes, either alone or accompanied by male confidantes who remain completely devoted to them. [...] Este artículo analiza la bifurcación asimétrica de los roles de género y la performatividad que se refleja de manera palpable en el género de los thrillers de aventuras bengalíes. Estos escritos se esforzaron por venerar un culto a la hipermasculinidad a través de la representación de héroes bengalíes valientes y asertivos que participaban en variadas escapadas en tierras lejanas o en la resolución de misterios y crímenes, ya fuera solos o acompañados de confidentes masculinos que permanecen completamente dedicados a ellos.

Extreme miniaturization is known to be detrimental for certain properties, such as ferroelectricity in perovskite oxide films below a critical thickness. Remarkably, few-layer crystalline films of monochalcogenides display robust in-plane ferroelectricity with potential applications in nanoelectronics. [...]

The modulation of binding affinities and specificities by post-translational modifications located out from the binding pocket of the third PDZ domain of PSD-95 (PDZ3) has been reported recently. It is achieved through an intra-domain electrostatic network involving some charged residues in the β2-β3 loop (were a succinimide modification occurs), the α3 helix (an extra-structural element that links the PDZ3 domain with the following SH3 domain in PSD-95, and contains the phosphorylation target Tyr397), and the ligand peptide.

Bacteriorhodopsin has a polar cluster of amino acids surrounding the retinal molecule, which is responsible for light harvesting to fuel proton pumping. From our previous studies, we have shown that threonine 90 is the pivotal amino acid in this polar cluster, both functionally and structurally. [...]
