How whale shark rhodopsin evolved to see, in the deep blue sea
A group of researchers discovered that the rhodopsin — a protein in the eye that detects light — of whale sharks has changed to efficiently detect blue light, which penetrates deep-sea water easily. The amino acid substitutions — one of which is cou…
Surgical sealing made better with robust thermosensitive bioadhesives
Scientists have employed inventive chemistry to produce an injectable biomaterial with significantly improved adhesive strength, stretchability, and toughness. This chemically modified, gelatin-based hydrogel had attractive features, including rapid ge…
