Mussel ( Mytilus edulis ) byssus deposition in response to variations in surface wettability
Journal of the Royal Society Interface - Tập 3 Số 6 - Trang 37-43 - 2006
Mussels ( Mytilus edulis ) are economically important in their role as an
aquaculture species and also with regard to marine biofouling. They attach
tenaciously to a wide variety of submerged surfaces by virtue of collagenous
attachment threads termed ‘byssi’. The aim of this study was to characterize the
spreading of the byssal attachment plaque, which mediates attachment to the
surface, on a ran...
Assessing the stability of human locomotion: a review of current measures
Journal of the Royal Society Interface - Tập 10 Số 83 - Trang 20120999 - 2013
Falling poses a major threat to the steadily growing population of the elderly
in modern-day society. A major challenge in the prevention of falls is the
identification of individuals who are at risk of falling owing to an unstable
gait. At present, several methods are available for estimating gait stability,
each with its own advantages and disadvantages. In this paper, we review the
currently av...
Control of human gait stability through foot placement
Journal of the Royal Society Interface - Tập 15 Số 143 - Trang 20170816 - 2018
During human walking, the centre of mass (CoM) is outside the base of support
for most of the time, which poses a challenge to stabilizing the gait pattern.
Nevertheless, most of us are able to walk without substantial problems. In this
review, we aim to provide an integrative overview of how humans cope with an
underactuated gait pattern. A central idea that emerges from the literature is
that fo...
Distributed robustness in cellular networks: insights from synthetic evolved circuits
Journal of the Royal Society Interface - Tập 6 Số 33 - Trang 393-400 - 2009
Evolved natural systems are known to display some sort of distributed robustness
against the loss of individual components. Such type of robustness is not just
the result of redundancy. Instead, it seems to be based on degeneracy, i.e. the
ability of elements that are structurally different to perform the same function
or yield the same output. Here, we explore the problem of how relevant is
degen...
Nano-sized manganese oxides as biomimetic catalysts for water oxidation in artificial photosynthesis: a review
Journal of the Royal Society Interface - Tập 9 Số 75 - Trang 2383-2395 - 2012
There has been a tremendous surge in research on the synthesis of various metal
compounds aimed at simulating the water-oxidizing complex (WOC) of photosystem
II (PSII). This is crucial because the water oxidation half reaction is
overwhelmingly rate-limiting and needs high over-voltage (approx. 1 V), which
results in low conversion efficiencies when working at current densities
required for hydro...
Complementary vasoactivity and matrix remodelling in arterial adaptations to altered flow and pressure
Journal of the Royal Society Interface - Tập 6 Số 32 - Trang 293-306 - 2009
Arteries exhibit a remarkable ability to adapt to sustained alterations in
biomechanical loading, probably via mechanisms that are similarly involved in
many arterial pathologies and responses to treatment. Of particular note,
diverse data suggest that cell and matrix turnover within vasoaltered states
enables arteries to adapt to sustained changes in blood flow and pressure. The
goal herein is to...
Mechanisms and causes of wear in tooth enamel: implications for hominin diets
Journal of the Royal Society Interface - Tập 10 Số 80 - Trang 20120923 - 2013
The wear of teeth is a major factor limiting mammalian lifespans in the wild.
One method of describing worn surfaces, dental microwear texture analysis, has
proved powerful for reconstructing the diets of extinct vertebrates, but has
yielded unexpected results in early hominins. In particular, although
australopiths exhibit derived craniodental features interpreted as adaptations
for eating hard f...
Probing in-mouth texture perception with a biomimetic tongue
Journal of the Royal Society Interface - Tập 16 Số 159 - Trang 20190362 - 2019
An experimental biomimetic tongue–palate system has been developed to probe
human in-mouth texture perception. Model tongues are made from soft elastomers
patterned with fibrillar structures analogous to human filiform papillae. The
palate is represented by a rigid flat plate parallel to the plane of the tongue.
To probe the behaviour under physiological flow conditions, deflections of model
papil...
Co-culture systems and technologies: taking synthetic biology to the next level
Journal of the Royal Society Interface - Tập 11 Số 96 - Trang 20140065 - 2014
Co-culture techniques find myriad applications in biology for studying natural
or synthetic interactions between cell populations. Such techniques are of great
importance in synthetic biology, as multi-species cell consortia and other
natural or synthetic ecology systems are widely seen to hold enormous potential
for foundational research as well as novel industrial, medical and environmental
appl...
Challenges in tissue engineering
Journal of the Royal Society Interface - Tập 3 Số 10 - Trang 589-601 - 2006
Almost 30 years have passed since a term ‘tissue engineering’ was created to
represent a new concept that focuses on regeneration of neotissues from cells
with the support of biomaterials and growth factors. This interdisciplinary
engineering has attracted much attention as a new therapeutic means that may
overcome the drawbacks involved in the current artificial organs and organ
transplantation t...
