Experimental Investigations of Biological Lubrication at the Nanoscale: The Cases of Synovial Joints and the Oral Cavity

Interactions between surfaces are ubiquitous phenomena in living organisms.Nature has developed sophisticated strategies for lubricating these systems, increasing their efficiency and life span.This includes the use of water-based lubricants, such as saliva and synovial fluid.These fluids overcome the limitations of water as a lubricant by the pres

Site-Specific Lipidomic Signatures of Sea Lettuce (Ulva spp., Chlorophyta) Hold the Potential to Trace Their Geographic Origin

The wild harvest and aquaculture of Ulva spp.has deserved growing attention in Europe.However, the impact of geographical origin on the biochemical MAG W D composition of different species and/or strains is yet to be described in detail.Hence, the present study aimed to detect the variability of the lipidome of different species and/or strains of U
