Assessing fungal–mineral interactions in soil: A review of microscale methods
Abstract Biological weathering of minerals has profoundly transformed Earth over geologic time by driving soil formation, nutrient cycling, and long‐term biogeochemical processes. Among soil biota, fungi are increasingly recognized as key yet obscure drivers of weathering through their unique hyphal growth forms, metabolic capabilities, and symbiotic ...

Navigating Classical and Nonclassical Realms of Nucleation and Crystallization
Classical nucleation and growth theories have long been foundational, yet recent nonclassical concepts have challenged and refined our understanding of solid‐state genesis. This paradigm shift introduced new, often ambiguous vocabulary. Here, we clarify key concepts, correct common misconceptions, and provide a terminological field guide across systems,

Cancer nanovaccines have emerged as promising alternatives to conventional cancer vaccines, which have shown limited clinical efficacy. In particular, cell membrane nanoparticle‐based nanovaccines can offer high biocompatibility and immunogenicity while preserving tumor antigens, including antigen repertoires.

Immunomodulatory Nanozymes as Programmable Redox–Immune Set‐Point Regulators
Conceptual phase space linking reactive oxygen species level/dynamics to immune state, with pathological set‐points for chronic inflammation, tumor escape, and degeneration contrasted against a central healthy redox–immune set‐point. Buffering and amplifying nanozymes are depicted as devices that dial redox tone up or down to steer diseased ...

The diverse bivalved arthropods of Castle Bank (Darriwilian, Ordovician), Wales
Abstract The Darriwilian (Didymograptus murchisoni Biozone, Middle Ordovician) Castle Bank Lagerstätte, near Llandrindod, Wales (UK) hosts a diverse assemblage of marine animals, generally under 10 mm in size. Here we provide an overview of the diversity of bivalved arthropods from Castle Bank.
