Gene duplication is common across the Tree of Life and contributes to genomic robustness. In this study, we examined changes in the subcellular localization and abundance of proteins in response to the deletion of their paralogs originating from the whole-genome duplication event, which is a larg ...

Direct sound printing (DSP) is a recent development in additive manufacturing processes using sound waves, in which cavitation bubbles created by a focused ultrasound field polymerize the liquid resin via the sonochemistry route. This article presents the first attempt to create functional parts, such as cantilevers and millifluidic systems in polydimethy ...
