Homologous membrane wrapped ZIF‐8 nanoparticles accelerate differentiation of neural stem cell for spinal cord injury therapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Homologous membrane wrapped ZIF‐8 nanoparticles were proposed to improve biocompatibility and targeting ability to neural stem cells (NSCs). ZIF‐8‐SCM NPs exhibit pH responsiveness, thereby generating an intracellular Zn2+ storm to accelerate neural differentiation through calcium and MAPK signaling pathways. Moreover, they promote function recovery in

From Material Tensions to Organizational Paradoxes: How Manufacturers Cope With the Limits of Circular Product Design

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circular product design (CPD) is central to advancing the circular economy by enabling the narrowing, slowing, and closing of resource flows. Yet, its implementation remains persistently challenging for firms. Prior research has largely framed these challenges as discrete barriers, overlooking the structural contradictions embedded in CPD ...

Do High Temperatures Affect Firm Demography? Evidence From Italy

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study analyses the impact of high temperatures and heat stress on Italian firm demography during 2009–2022. Combining provincial‐firm‐level data with a high‐resolution multidecadal meteorological dataset, we investigate whether high temperatures—absolute and anomalous—affect firm entry and exit rates.
