Automated Parallel Pattern Search Optimisation of Microfluidic Geometry for Extracellular Vesicle Liquid Biopsies

The paper optimizes microfluidic geometry for extracellular vesicle capture using automated parallel pattern search, finding that larger pillars with spacing improve capture efficiency.

The Long Limb Bones of the StW 573 Australopithecus Skeleton from Sterkfontein Member 2: Descriptions and Proportions

This paper describes the long limb bones of the StW 573 Australopithecus skeleton and compares its limb proportions to A.L. 288-1, suggesting different allometric development in early hominins.

Bilateral Asymmetry of the Forearm Bones as Possible Evidence of Antemortem Trauma in the StW 573 Australopithecus Skeleton from Sterkfontein Member 2 (South Africa)

The paper examines bilateral asymmetry in the forearm bones of the StW 573 Australopithecus skeleton, hypothesizing it resulted from a fall and discussing its implications for behavior.

The skull of StW 573, a 3.67 Ma Australopithecus skeleton from Sterkfontein Caves, South Africa

The paper provides the first full anatomical description of StW 573, a 3.67 Ma Australopithecus skull, and classifies it as a distinct taxon, A. prometheus, based on morphological analysis.

A multiscale stratigraphic investigation of the context of StW 573 Little Foot and Member 2, Sterkfontein Caves, South Africa

This paper investigates the stratigraphy and sedimentology of Member 2 in Sterkfontein Caves to determine the geological context of the hominin fossil StW 573 Little Foot, supporting a single-stage accumulation process.
