The understanding of the interactions between biological systems and nanoengineered
devices is crucial in several research fields, including tissue engineering, biomechanics …

In living organisms, color patterns, behavior, and ecology are closely linked. Thus, detection
of fossil pigments may permit inferences about important aspects of ancient animal ecology …

Molecular map** of live biofilms at submicrometer resolution presents a grand challenge.
Here, we present the first chemical map** results of biofilm extracellular polymeric …

Although hematophagy is found in∼ 14,000 species of extant insects, the fossil record of
blood-feeding insects is extremely poor and largely confined to specimens identified as …

Abstract The holotype (MHM-K2) of the Eocene cheloniine Tasbacka danica is arguably one
of the best preserved juvenile fossil sea turtles on record. Notwithstanding compactional …

Linoleic, oleic, palmitoleic, palmitic, and stearic fatty acids (FAs) are commonly used in
dermatological formulations. They differ by their structure, presence in the skin, and mode of …

Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 wild-type and a hyper-adhesive mutant CP2-1-S1 are used as
model organisms and Cr (VI) is selected as a toxic chemical to study biofilm and toxic …

Feathers are amongst the most complex epidermal structures known and they have a well-
documented evolutionary trajectory across non-avian dinosaurs and basal birds. Moreover …

Fossil biomolecules from an endogenous source were previously identified in Cretaceous to
Pleistocene fossilized bones, the evidence coming from molecular analyses. These findings …

Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) is a surface sensitive MS
technique that offers a new way of studying lipid biomarkers at the microscopic level, without …
