The Redox Properties of Polyphenols and Their Role in ROS Generation for Biomedical Applications

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The dual redox nature of polyphenols enables antioxidant activity and controlled reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. This review details the biomedical applications of polyphenols in materials such as nanoparticles, coatings, and hydrogels for antimicrobial, tissue regeneration, and cancer therapies.

Dead Matter, Living Machines: Repurposing Crustaceans' Abdomen Exoskeleton for Bio‐Hybrid Robots

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Crustacean exoskeletons, repurposed from food waste, are engineered into sustainable bending actuators combining biotic structure with synthetic control. The augmented exoskeletons achieve rapid and robust motion with lightweight body and can be used as part of robotic manipulators, grippers and swimmers.

Analytical review of modern studies of changes in the biotic components of the carbon cycle

RUDN Journal of Ecology and Life Safety, 2020
The research on changes in the spatial-temporal dynamics of carbon in natural ecosystems on land is explored. The works of Russian and foreign authors on the analysis of the depositing ability of the cover are presented. Works on biomass reserves and primary production of biogeocenoses, research in the field of mathematical modeling of the carbon cycle

A Robust Solar Evaporator with Hierarchical Architecture for Ultrahigh Efficiency and Large‐Scale Zero‐Liquid‐Discharge Desalination

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a low‐carbon footprint, robust 3D (three‐dimensional) evaporator featuring multi‐level low‐tortuosity channels for highly efficient desalination. It achieves an outstanding average evaporation rate of 8.1 kg m−2 h−1, salt collection rate of 1.95 kg m−2 h−1, and durability in high‐salinity brine.

Does the abiotic environment influence the distribution of flower and fruit colors?

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Color in flowers and fruits carries multiple functions, from attracting animal partners (pollinators, dispersers) to mitigating environmental stress (cold, drought, UV‐B). With research historically focusing on biotic interactions as selective agents, however, it remains unclear whether abiotic stressors impact flower and fruit colors ...

Linking biodiversity and biotic interactions to ecosystem functioning

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment
Biodiversity is an essential component for ecosystem functioning and stability, with numerous biotic interactions and complementarity playing important roles. The complexity of these relationships can be seen in both above‐ and belowground ecosystems and

Color polymorphism in Anemone coronaria: Correlations with soil, climate, and flowering phenology

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Flower color polymorphism (FCP) is thought to be driven by multiple selection agents. Although widely associated with visual attraction of multiple pollinators, FCP is also often correlated with abiotic factors. We explored the links between abiotic conditions, flowering phenology, and FCP in the winter‐flowering geophyte Anemone ...

Selection maintains floral color polymorphism in scarlet paintbrush, Castilleja coccinea, reflecting combined ecological factors

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Evolutionary theory predicts polymorphism should be rare; however, intraspecific variation in floral color is common and can be attributed to genetic drift, plasticity, or variable selection. Examining floral color polymorphism both within contact zones and across a species' range can reveal the mechanisms maintaining this variation ...

Multifunctional roles of intercropping in the management of insect pests affecting pulse crops: a comprehensive bibliometric analysis

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
Pulse crops such as faba beans, chickpea and lentils are an important contributor to the necessary food thanks to their richness of proteins and low-fat content, in addition to the presence of fibers and bioactive components.
