Navigating human-sloth bear encounters and attacks in Nepal’s unprotected forests
Environmental ChallengesHuman-sloth bear conflict is a recurring issue in multi-use forest landscapes outside protected areas (PAs). In Nepal’s southern region, sloth bears are a major contributor to human-wildlife conflict, yet comprehensive information to inform conflict mitigation and ensure human safety remain limited. To address this gap, we collected questionnaire-based

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Light reflectance increases along incidence angle and transmittance significantly drops around 90‐degree incidence angle. Here, we report two‐photon laser printed micro mirrors that redirect the skimming light beam into normal light absorption. Using this technique, light‐driven micro walkers and grippers are demonstrated by using grazing incidence ...

Cell Calcification Models and Their Implications for Medicine and Biomaterial Research
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Calcification, is the process by which the tissues containing minerals are formed, occurring during normal physiological processes, or in pathological conditions. Here, it is aimed to give a comprehensive overview of the range of cell models available, and the approaches taken by these models, highlighting when and how methodological divergences arise,

Geometrically Tunable Scaffold‐Free Muscle Bioconstructs for Treating Volumetric Muscle Loss
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Volumetric muscle loss is associated with traumatic muscle resulting in permanent functional impairment. Mold‐based, scaffold‐free, high‐density muscle tissue bioconstructs are developed in customizable geometric shapes and sizes. The transplanted rectangular solid‐shaped muscle bioconstructs improved muscle force recovery and tissue regeneration in ...
