Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

Species‐Specific Vulnerability of Northern Red Sea Mesophotic Corals to Accelerated Warming
Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.Mesophotic reefs are often considered climate refuges, yet experimental thermal‐stress reveals species‐dependent vulnerability. Skeletal optics, energy reserves, and light environment determine bleaching severity. A depth‐generalist coral resisted stress while the mesophotic specialist bleached severely.

ABSTRACT Precise volumetric dosing of polymer melts is essential for dimensional stability and mass consistency in injection‐molded samples, particularly when melt compressibility influences the effective volume delivered to the cavity. Conventional approaches rely on reference pvT
