Muntz, I.A.A. (author), Fenu, M. (author), van Osch, G.J.V.M. (author), Koenderink, G.H. (author)Living tissue is able to withstand large stresses in everyday life, yet it also actively adapts to dynamic loads. This remarkable mechanical behaviour emerges from the interplay between living cells and their non-living extracellular environment. Here we review recent insights into the biophysical mechanisms involved in the reciprocal...review 2022

(author), Williams, Rohan B.H. (author)Advances in high-throughput sequencing technologies and bioinformatics approaches over almost the last three decades have substantially increased our ability to explore microorganisms and their functions – including those that have yet to be cultivated in pure isolation. Genome-resolved metagenomic approaches have enabled linking powerful...review 2021

Honig, Floris (author), Vermeulen, Steven (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author), de Boer, Jan (author), Fratila-Apachitei, E.L. (author)The ability to control the interactions between functional biomaterials and biological systems is of great importance for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. However, the underlying mechanisms defining the interplay between biomaterial properties and the human body are complex. Therefore, a key challenge is to design biomaterials that...review 2020

Pires, Diana P. (author), Martins Costa, A.R. (author), Pinto, Graça (author), Meneses, Luciana (author), Azeredo, Joana (author)Antibiotic resistance is a major public health challenge worldwide, whose implications for global health might be devastating if novel antibacterial strategies are not quickly developed. As natural predators of bacteria, (bacterio)phages may play an essential role in escaping such a dreadful future. The rising problem of antibiotic resistance...review 2020

(author)Bone-to-soft tissue interfaces are responsible for transferring loads between tissues with significantly dissimilar material properties. The examples of connective soft tissues are ligaments, tendons, and cartilages. Such natural tissue interfaces have unique microstructural properties and characteristics which avoid the abrupt transitions...review 2023

Sheykhfard, A. (author), Haghighi, Farshidreza (author), Papadimitriou, E. (author), van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author)The importance of investigating pedestrian safety has been evaluated repeatedly in safety studies. The present study attempts to evaluate the various methods used by previous researchers in a hierarchical process, to determine the characteristics, advantages, and limitations of each method. Two general analysis approaches (passive and active)...review 2021

Hagedoorn, P.L. (author), Hollmann, F. (author), Hanefeld, U. (author)Oleate hydratase catalyses the addition of water to the CC double bond of oleic acid to produce (R)-10-hydroxystearic acid. The enzyme requires an FAD cofactor that functions to optimise the active site structure. A wide range of unsaturated fatty acids can be hydrated at the C10 and in some cases the C13 position. The substrate scope can be...review 2021

Shomar, Helena (author), Bokinsky, G.E. (author)Microbes are routinely engineered to synthesize high-value chemicals from renewable materials through synthetic biology and metabolic engineering. Microbial biosynthesis often relies on expression of heterologous biosynthetic pathways, i.e., enzymes transplanted from foreign organisms. Metallocluster enzymes are one of the most ubiquitous...review 2021
