On the origin of the surface superhydrophobicity of rough-textured inorganic materials with intrinsic hydrophilicity In mechanism, the surface superhydrophobicity is often thought to be the result of trapping-air within the grooves leading to a composite solid-liquid-air interface. However, the mechanism cannot reasonably reflect why the rough surfaces of intrinsically hydrophilic materials are capable of behaving hydrophilicity or superhydrophobicity.

AbstractActin, an important component of eukaryotic cell cytoskeleton, regulates cell shape and transport. The morphology and biochemical properties of actin filaments are determined by their structure and protein-protein contacts. Crowded environments can organize filaments into bundles, but less is known about how they affect F-actin structure.
