Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.Cellulose nanocrystals extracted from Mauritia flexuosa petiole were combined with MCM‐41 mesoporous silica to create a diclofenac‐loaded hybrid nanocomposite. Incorporation into electrospun PVA scaffolds enabled controlled diclofenac release and high cell viability, highlighting their potential for localized drug delivery.

Programmable 3D Microfluidics Reveals Motility‐Driven Antibiotic Resistance Evolution in Gradients
Small, EarlyView.Using a programmable microfluidic platform, this study shows that bacterial motility is crucial for resistance development in heterogeneous antibiotic landscapes. Motile Escherichia coli randomly migrates along antibiotic gradients, and sufficient movement is required for resistance to emerge.

Small, EarlyView.A biomimetic microfluidic tumor‐on‐chip platform was designed to uncover subtype‐dependent responses to nanoparticle‐mediated photothermal therapy in breast cancer spheroids. The platform establishes a physiologically relevant and controllable 3D system for precision evaluation of nanophotothermal cancer therapies.

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Metal contamination in aquatic ecosystems poses substantial risks to freshwater organisms, with mixture effects often deviating from predictions based on single‐metal toxicity. Understanding how age‐specific sensitivities and multiple exposure pathways influence mixture effects is critical for accurate risk assessment.

Monitoring Quality of Mafia‐Connected Accountants
Journal of Accounting Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We investigate the monitoring quality of accountants with ties to the Mafia in their role as auditors for “clean” firms—those with no known ties to organized crime. Using a proprietary government database, we identify Italian firms with alleged ties to the Mafia through their executives, directors, or shareholders.
