Bio-inspired multispectral camouflage material for microwave, infrared, and visible bands based on single hierarchical metasurface

Nanophotonics
Nature can significantly inspire humans. Chameleons, jellyfish, and many other creatures use unique camouflage methods. Multispectral camouflage materials are highly desirable to against progressive multispectral detection.

Differential frequency of autotomy in two colour morphs of the grasshopper Atractomorpha lata (Orthoptera: Pyrgomorphidae) on dense and sparse grass substrates

European Journal of Entomology
Background colour matching is considered highly effective in preventing the detection of an animal by visual predators. In a grasshopper species with green-brown polymorphism, a green morph on grass and a brown morph on bare ground or dead litter may be ...

More‐than‐gender? Moving beyond gendered expectations of divergent learners in early childhood education

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract In this paper, we explore how neurodivergent ways of being in early education are often gendered. The intersectionalities of gender and neurodivergence often lead to fixed expectations that perpetuate binary interpretations, pathologisations, missed diagnoses and a lack of curated support.

The epistemic ceiling: Veteran practitioners' perspectives on primary qualification entry standards for teaching secondary mathematics in Scotland

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper presents an exploratory analysis of contemporary curricular and professional qualification policies in the Scottish education system, focusing on minimum qualification thresholds for mathematics teaching. The study examines how veteran secondary mathematics practitioners perceive the structural and pedagogical implications of using ...

A novel biomimetic liposome drug delivery system mediated by macrophage targeting for precision treatment of encephalitis

BMEMat, EarlyView.
An advanced macrophage‐mediated biomimetic liposome (AC‐LP@RAW) that can penetrate the BBB and precisely target inflammatory sites in the deep brain was established in this study based on the unique immune homing property of macrophages, and showed a significantly improved delivery of curcumin to the brain.

Scorpionfish adjust skin pattern contrast on different backgrounds

Ecology and Evolution
The two scorpionfish species Scorpaena maderensis and S. porcus are well camouflaged ambush predators that rapidly change body colouration to adjust to background colour in less than 1 min.

Harnessing ferroptosis from multilayer defense networks to nanoplatforms for specific cancer therapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Nanomaterials target metabolically‐regulated ferroptosis for cancer therapy. Iron‐based or alternative nanoplatforms integrate ferroptosis with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiotherapy. They enable stimulus‐responsive therapies (photothermal, photodynamic, sonodynamic) activated by near‐infrared, light, or ultrasound, achieving potent synergistic ...

Homologous tumor‐targeting biomimetic nanozyme for synergistic NIR‐II photothermal and chemodynamic therapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Studies reveal that a biomimetic nanoplatform based on a cancer cell membrane‐camouflaged Au‐MnOx nanozyme (Au‐MnOx@CCM) can achieve synergistic antitumor therapy by combining NIR‐II mediated PTT with enhanced CDT, offering a promising strategy for precise and efficient tumor therapy. Abstract The therapeutic potential of nanozyme‐mediated chemodynamic

Integrated spherical nucleic acid nanoreactor mobilizes targeted PD‐L1 proteolysis and cuproptosis for robust breast cancer immunotherapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This study provides an integrated spherical nucleic acid nanoreactor (denoted as AMCuD) for targeted PD‐L1 degradation and chemo‐dynamically enhanced cuproptosis to synergically elicit robust immunotherapy against the triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC) growth, recurrence and metastasis.

Tackling cancer stemness with nanotechnology in the era of precision medicine

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Precise customization of nanoparticles (NPs) enables active targeting of cancer stem cells (CSCs), thereby improving drug delivery and therapeutic efficacy. NP‐based probing enhances CSC detection through imaging and liquid biopsy, whereas diverse therapeutic payloads improve therapeutic outcomes.
