    Is this possibly relevant to tissue regeneration?
  •  
    nice findings indeed ... this is one of the topics of research that I was contemplating to engage in after my PhD ...

    A toc of a spcial issue on synthetic biology: How to assemble organisms from scratch. Could one day be intersting for large scale deterministic self assembly or some other crazy idea...

  • Sie berichteten beim Jahrestreffen der "Society of Experimental Biology" im schottischen Glasgow von ihren Ergebnissen.
  • Den Laubfröschen gelingt es nämlich, ihren Stoffwechsel stark herunterzuregeln - und so fast beliebig viel Energie zu sparen.

    Unfortunately in German: A frog which is able to survive for years in the mud by using a technique calle Mitochondriatic coupling. And I should have gone to that conference!

    More amazing stuff from Saturn.
  •  
    Europe is less far and there is also an ocean beneath the surface (at least we think...), and it's bigger. Nasa planned a mission to Europe some years ago but it was cancelled because of budget cut because of... war in Irak !

From ultra-soft slime to hard {alpha}-keratins: The many lives of intermediate filaments -- Fudge et al. 49 (1): 32 -- Integrative and Comparative Biology - 0 views

  • The diverse mechanisms described here have been employed by animals to generate materials with stiffness values that span an impressive eleven orders of magnitude.
  •  
    One basic molecule allows to achieve a broad range of material stiffness.

Biomechanics: Serpentine steps : Article : Nature - 0 views

  •  
    The biomechanics of serpentine locomotion have been examined. Apparently it is very similar to legged locomotion. In the unlikely case ESA wants to build a serpentine robot, this paper should be a first read.

Hygromorphs: from pine cones to biomimetic bilayers - Interface - 0 views

  •  
    This is about biological and technical hygromorphs, i.e. structures that change shape according to humidity. Next to pine cones, there is also a cool study on wheat awns which drill themselves into the soil just by daily variance of air humidity. biomimetics would be passively controlled acutators or humidity driven valves in space station to open/close dehumidification devices.
  •  
    Interesting, but only an abstract... do you have the full paper ?
  •  
    Not yet. There is also some other nice mechanism of wheat awns and how they use changes in humidity to anchor in soil. Would maybe fit with the above mentioned work of oisin.
