Hypersensitivity of the vimentin cytoskeleton to net-charge states and Coulomb repulsion

B. Unger, C. Y. Wu, A. Choi, C. He, K. Xu

This study shows that vimentin cytoskeleton assembly is sensitive to net charge states and Coulomb repulsion, with hypotonic stress causing rapid disassembly due to reduced charge screening.

Field and mesocosm methods to test biodegradable plastic film under marine conditions

C. Lott, A. Eich, B. Unger, D. Makarow, G. Battagliarin, K. Schlegel, M. T. Lasut, M. Weber

This paper develops field and mesocosm methods to assess biodegradable plastic degradation in marine environments, showing PHA films disintegrate while LD-PE remains intact across different habitats and climates.
