Material mechanics: an angle on sticky films.
348 nature materials | VOL 7 | MAY 2008 | www.nature.com/naturematerials far from that desired for the brain. The second potential limitation is the swelling behaviour of the composite: An inward flow of cerebrospinal fluid is critical to modulating the cellulose fibre interactions and, in the current design, it seems as though swelling of at least 30% by volume is necessary to reach the softes...
متن کاملMarine biofouling: a sticky problem.
Organisms that colonise underwater surfaces, such as barnacle larvae and spores of algae, use a diverse array of biological 'glues' to provide both temporary and more permanent adhesion. The practical consequence of colonisation by these organisms is biofouling - something that has plagued mariners for years - causing increased drag and, in extreme cases, corrosion. Might there be a biological ...
متن کاملPostoperative adhesion prevention a sticky problem
OBJECTIVES: To investigate various agents for adhesion prevention when used as adjuvants during pelvic surgery. SEARCH STRATEGY: The following databases were searched: the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), MEDLINE, EMBASE and SCOPUS. Intra-abdominal adhesions may occur after most surgical procedures, and are of major clinical, social and economic concern. In most instanc...
متن کاملDry solution to a sticky problem
Sticking plasters revolutionized the protection of minor wounds, but they’re not ideal for fragile skin. A material that mimics the adhesive properties of certain beetles’ feet might provide a solution. Adhesives that stick to skin for long periods of time, or over multiple cycles of use, are vital for medical applications. Such materials have to conform to stringent standards — for example, th...
متن کاملi-SNAREs
A new functional class of SNAREs, designated inhibitory SNAREs (i-SNAREs), is described here. An i-SNARE inhibits fusion by substituting for or binding to a subunit of a fusogenic SNAREpin to form a nonfusogenic complex. Golgi-localized SNAREs were tested for i-SNARE activity by adding them as a fifth SNARE together with four other SNAREs that mediate Golgi fusion reactions. A striking pattern ...
