As Afghanistan settles into a precarious peace after the ousting of the Taliban regime, scholars are taking stock of the most recent destruction of Afghanistan9s rich cultural heritage. Initial reports are grim: Ancient murals were trucked away from the niches around the dynamited Buddhas of Bamiyan, every human statue in the national museum in Kabul was destroyed, and the museum itself may be beyond repair, say UNESCO officials. But there is growing international support for restoring and…

Novel GM animal technologies and their governance
TLDR
This work critically examine current GM animal regulations, with a particular focus on the European Union, through a framework that recognises the importance of interactions among regulatory regimes, innovation outcomes and industry sectors.
Protein Gels from Cobwebs of Spiders for Biomedical Application
Silks are renowned for the tensile properties and thus, are potentially useful in the field of biomedical engineering. Silks from Bombyx mori as well as some spiders like Nephila clavipes (Family…
Overview of protective clothing
The technological developments have exposed people to greater risks and danger of being affected by unknown physical, chemical, and biological attacks. One such currently relevant danger is from…
Spider silk-like proteins derived from transgenic Nicotiana tabacum
TLDR
The feasibility to produce recombinant proteins in transgenic tobacco Nicotiana tabacum with sequences representing spider silk protein building blocks with confirmed gene insertion and RNA transcription by PCR and reverse-transcriptase PCR is presented.
Structure-property relationships in major ampullate spider silk as deduced from polarized FTIR spectroscopy
TLDR
The immediate microscopic response to the external field proves that β -sheeted crystals are tightly interconnected by pre-stretched chains as suggested recently.

TLDR
A new protein engineering approach, which combines synthetic repetitive silk sequences with authentic silk domains, reveals proteins that closely resemble silk proteins and that can be produced at high yields, which provides a basis for cost-efficient large scale production of spider silk-like proteins.
Advances in Plant-Derived Scaffold Proteins
Scaffold proteins form critical biomatrices that support cell adhesion and proliferation for regenerative medicine and drug screening. The increasing demand for such applications urges solutions for…
