Fire ants self-assemble into waterproof rafts to survive floods.
Why does a single fire ant Solenopsis invicta struggle in water, whereas a group can float effortlessly for days? We use time-lapse photography to investigate how fire ants S. invicta link their bodies together to build waterproof rafts. Although water repellency in nature has been previously viewed as a static material property of plant leaves and insect cuticles, we here demonstrate a self-as...

متن کاملToll-like receptor agonist lipopeptides self-assemble into distinct nanostructures.
The self-assembled structure of toll-like receptor agonist lipopeptides containing the CSK4 peptide sequence is examined in aqueous solution. A remarkable dependence of morphology on the number of attached hexadecyl lipid chains is demonstrated, with spherical micelle structures for mono- and di-lipidated structures observed, but flexible wormlike micelles for the homologue containing three lip...
متن کاملSelenium nanoparticles inclusion into chitosan hydrogels act as a chemical inducer for differentiation of PC12 cells into neuronal cells
Background and Objective: Biomaterials and nanomaterials have generated a great opportunity in regenerative medicine. Neurological disorders can result in permanent and severe derangement in motor and sensory functions. This study was conducted to examine the effects of selenium nanoparticles (Se NPs) as a chemical inducer for differentiation of PC12 cells into sympathetic-like neurons characte...
متن کاملAre Presynaptic Proteins Predisposed to Self-Assemble?
Tight control of synapse formation ensures that neurons connect to appropriate targets. In this issue of Neuron, Klassen et al. identify ARL-8 GTPase as a regulator of presynaptic assembly. Without ARL-8, presynaptic material aggregates en route to its destination, suggesting that ARL-8 acts like a dispersant to prevent premature synaptic assembly in the axon.
