The Chemistry and Biology of the Tetrodotoxin Natural Product Family
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.Tetrodotoxin is best known as the poison of the pufferfish, which is a delicacy in Japanese cuisine. Its toxicity arises from the selective blockage of NaV channels, which is depicted for the NaV1.7 pore, highlighting the DEKA motif, which permeates sodium ions.

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.Efficient and fast microplastic separation from aqueous media by superhydrophobic jute fabric. ABSTRACT The accumulation of microplastics (MPs) in various aquatic environments is an alarming problem in the modern world. Hydrophobic surfaces are potential candidates to remove microplastics from water.

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.Principle of microplastic fabrication via cryo‐milling, characterization techniques and photograph of obtained samples. ABSTRACT Microplastics—defined as polymer fragments less than 5 mm in size—pose a clear threat to a wide range of small organisms through ingestion, leading to starvation.

Development of Chitosan/PVA Nanofibrous Membranes for Efficient Removal of Microcystis aeruginosa
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.Removal of Microcystis aeruginosa from CS/PVA fibers by A‐HSBS. ABSTRACT In this study, chitosan/poly(vinyl alcohol) (CS/PVA) polymeric nanofibers were produced using the Air‐Heated Solution Blow Spinning (A‐HSBS) method and applied for the efficient removal of Microcystis aeruginosa from contaminated water.

Early synapsids neurosensory diversity revealed by CT and synchrotron scanning
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Non‐mammaliaform synapsids (NMS) represent the closest relatives of today's mammals among the early amniotes. Exploring their brain and nervous system is key to understanding how mammals evolved. Here, using CT and Synchrotron scanning, we document for the first time three extreme cases of neurosensory and behavioral adaptations that probe ...

Predicting ecology and hearing sensitivities in Parapontoporia—An extinct long‐snouted dolphin
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Analyses of the cetacean (whale and dolphin) inner ear provide glimpses into the ecology and evolution of extinct and extant groups. The paleoecology of the long‐snouted odontocete (toothed whale) group, Parapontoporia, is primarily marine with its depositional context also suggesting freshwater tolerance.

Disparity of turbinal bones in placental mammals
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Turbinals are key bony elements of the mammalian nasal cavity, involved in heat and moisture conservation as well as olfaction. While turbinals are well known in some groups, their diversity is poorly understood at the scale of placental mammals, which span 21 orders.
