Double‐Transition‐Metal MXenes: Multimetallic 2D Platforms for Next‐Generation Biomedicine

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The present work explores recent progress in double‐transition‐metal MXenes and focuses on their potential as multifunctional biomedical nanoplatforms whose tunable optical, electronic, mechanical, and surface properties enable imaging, theranostics, antimicrobial activity, biosensing, tissue engineering, and drug delivery.

The role of isolation on contrasting phylogeographic patterns in two cave crustaceans

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2017
Background The underlying mechanisms and processes that prompt the colonisation of extreme environments, such as caves, constitute major research themes of evolutionary biology and biospeleology.

Indium‐Mediated Glue‐Like Interlayer Enables Stable High‐Capacity Flexible Sodium Metal Batteries

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A three‐dimensional Na‐In‐S/Cu composite interlayer is constructed on a flexible current collector via an In‐mediated in situ reaction. Featuring abundant Na nucleation sites and a low diffusion barrier, this interlayer enables rapid and uniform Na deposition.

Super‐Resolution Ultrasound Based Cell Tracking With Polymeric Nanobubbles

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a super‐resolution ultrasound platform for tracking cells in vivo. Biocompatible polymeric nanobubbles are used as highly echogenic intracellular labels. Following the injection of cells and microbubbles, ultrasound localization microscopy (ULM) can dynamically match the microvascular architecture and individual cell trajectories ...

The impact of declining groundwater levels on Stygofauna communities in the Leeuwin naturaliste ridge cave systems, Western Australia

, 2012
Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems (GDE 19s) are intrinsically connected to rainfall and groundwater for survival. Many ecosystems are becoming increasingly threatened due to the accelerating pressures of climate change and disturbances to connecting ...

Observations on the biology of cave planarians of the United States

International Journal of Speleology, 1982
Observations are made on the biology of several species of cave planarians (mostly of the family Kenkiidae) collected alive from over 50 caves in 14 states. Most of these species were maintained in laboratory cultures at 12°C±3°C. Food eaten was extremely variable.

Micropillar‐Engineered Hybrid Adhesive Patch for Surface‐Conformable and Directional Adhesion

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This work presents a surface‐conformable hybrid adhesive integrating height‐optimized hexagonal micropillars with open‐rectangular cuts. The micropillars enhance rough‐surface contact and microscale crack arrest, while the cuts guide and reverse interfacial cracks for strong and directional adhesion. The multiscale architecture achieves robust pull‐off

Divergent evolution of male aggressive behaviour : another reproductive isolation barrier in extremophile poeciliid fishes? [PDF]

, 2011
Reproductive isolation among locally adapted populations may arise when immigrants from foreign habitats are selected against via natural or (inter-)sexual selection (female mate choice).

Some observations on the Mesolithic crustacean assemblage from Ulva Cave, Inner Hebrides, Scotland.

, 2009
Crustacean remains are a common component of Mesolithic coastal shell middens in western Scotland and, potentially, are a valuable source of information on subsistence practices and shore ecology, yet they are rarely analyzed or described in detail in ...
