Highly elastomeric photocurable silk hydrogels
Kuang, D.; Jiang, F.; Wu, F.; Kaur, K.; Ghosh, Satyabrata; Kundu, Subhas C; Lu, S.A photocurable silk fibroin hydrogel is prepared, for the first time, using natural silk protein fibroin and biophotosensitizer riboflavin. Riboflavin is excited by ultraviolet light to generate a triplet state which is transferred to produce active oxygen radicals with singlet oxygen as the main component. Active oxygen radicals can induce chemical cross-linking of amino-, phenol- and other groups in the silk ...

Silva, S. S.; Kundu, B.; Lu, S.; Reis, R. L.; Kundu, Subhas CChinese nonmulberry temperate oak tasar/tussah, Antheraea pernyi (Ap) silk is a natural biopolymer that has attracted considerable attention as a biomaterial. The proteinaceous components of Ap silk proteins, namely fbroin and sericin may represent an alternative over mulberry Bombyx mori silk proteins. In fact, the silk fbroin (SF) of Ap is rich in Arginyl-Glycyl-Aspartic acid (RGD) peptides, which facilitate ...
Silk Fibroin/Polyvinyl Pyrrolidone Interpenetrating Polymer Network Hydrogels
Kuang, D.; Wu, F.; Yin, Z.; Zhu, T.; Xing, T.; Kundu, Subhas C; Lu, S.Silk fibroin hydrogel is an ideal model as biomaterial matrix due to its excellent biocompatibility and used in the field of medical polymer materials. Nevertheless, native fibroin hydrogels show poor transparency and resilience. To settle these drawbacks, an interpenetrating network (IPN) of hydrogels are synthesized with changing ratios of silk fibroin/N-Vinyl-2-pyrrolidonemixtures that crosslink by H2O2Â and...

Revisiting stress “deafness” in European Portuguese – a behavioral and ERP study
Lu, S.; Vigário, M.; Correia, S.; Jerónimo, R.; Frota, S.European Portuguese (EP) is a language with variable stress, and the main cues for stress are duration and vowel reduction. A previous behavioral study has reported a stress “deafness” effect in EP when vowel quality cues are unavailable. The present study recorded both event-related potentials (ERPs) and behavioral data to examine the stress processing by native EP speakers in the absence of the vowel quality ...
Revisiting “stress deafness” in European Portuguese: An ERP study
Lu, S.; Correia, S.; Jerónimo, R.; Vigário, M.; Frota, S.Several behavioral studies have suggested that speakers of languages with variable stress (e.g., Spanish) are better than speakers of languages with fixed stress (e.g., French) at discriminating stress contrasts. European Portuguese (EP) is a language with variable stress, and the main cues for stress are duration and vowel reduction. However, when the vowel quality cue is absent, native speakers are not able t...
