Glycosaminoglycan-based biohybrid hydrogels represent a powerful class of cell-instructive materials with proven potential in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Their biomedical functionality relies on a nanoscale polymer network that standard microscopy techniques cannot resolve. Here, we introduce an advanced analytical approach that integrates transmission electron microscopy, X-ray scattering, and computer simulations to directly and quantitatively characterize the nanoscale molecular network structure of these hydrogels.

This study investigates the phenomenon that, in contrast to amylopectin-rich starch granules, high amylose starch (HAS) granules typically exhibit high hydrolytic resistance manifested as low density of enzyme attack sites on the starch granule surface. However, among the various types of examined HAS granules, we identified differences in enzymatic resistance. We associated this effect as a result of variations in specific rate of the enzymatic reaction, with intermediate affinity leading to the highest enzymatic efficacy characteristic for the Sabatier principle.

The influence of communication anxiety on English as a foreign language (EFL) learners' willingness to communicate (WTC) is well-documented. However, the role of teachers, including task design, teacher support, and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) integration on L2 WTC in the context of digital transformation of education remains underexplored. This study investigates how these teacher-related factors affect learners' L2 WTC by considering the mediating effect of communication anxiety.

Evolution is a highly intricate process marked by the generation of novelty, which requires the historical and collective organization of individuals. In this paper, we investigate the relationship between biological organization and Open-Ended Evolution (OEE), with a particular focus on the causal connection between the two. To quantitatively investigate the causal relation within a chemical system, we utilize assembly theory to assess the influence of auto-catalytic sets on the complexity dynamics of Kauffman's model.

Several studies describe a strong association between structural and functional abnormalities of the cerebellum and psychiatric disorders. It is possible to find investigations especially in cases of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety disorders, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The involvement of the cerebellum in these conditions is also supported by clinical, functional, and structural imaging studies.
