Engineering an Enzymatically Active Granular Matrix for On‐Chip Modeling of Bone‐Like Mineralization

Small, EarlyView.
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP)‐functionalized poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) microgels assemble into a perfusable granular matrix for cell‐free modeling of bone‐like mineralization. Microgel‐associated enzymatic activity promotes calcium phosphate deposition, producing a calcium‐deficient, poorly crystalline apatite‐like phase, while keeping interparticle ...

Asymptotic r2 Enhancement in Formulation‐Optimized Lipid‐Iron Oxide Nanoparticles for Assessing Glioblastoma Heterogeneity at Ultrahigh‐Field MRI

Small, EarlyView.
Lipid‐coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (LSPIONs) are developed as MRI‐visible lipid nanocarriers for glioblastoma imaging. By tuning nanoparticle size and SPION loading, their transverse relaxivity (r2) can be systematically controlled over one order of magnitude, reaching 390 mm−1 s−1 at 9.4 T.

Concrete in architecture: Redefining form, space, function, and insights from bibliometric analysis

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Concrete has become a cornerstone in architectural and engineering innovation, as it seamlessly integrates structural performance with artistic expression. Its evolution from ancient opus caementicium to contemporary ultra‐high‐performance concrete illustrates its adaptability to the change in technological, environmental, and design paradigms.

Cutting freedom down to size Liberté calibrée

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Freedom, as a concept and a value, presents limited prospects for anthropological comparison. The study of enslavement, much neglected in attempts to develop an anthropology of freedom, shows that freedom has been imagined by the enslaved as the opposite of their condition only under particular circumstances.

Castles in the Air: Sectarian Puritanism, the Revolutionary Caribbean and the Forgotten Colony of New Warwick, Trinidad

History, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines an overlooked attempt to colonize the island of Trinidad during the English Revolution of the 1640s. This project was engineered by a consortium of radical puritans, seeking to create a protected enclave in the New World for separatists, anabaptists and other sectaries.

A quantitative evaluation of forensic sampling tools and extraction methods

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Forensic sampling of bodily fluids is commonly performed by means of swabbing and occasionally tape‐lifting. Current research focuses on comparative studies of commercially available swab types, and alternative methods are rarely investigated.

Improving ARTs: Microfluidics as a Tool for Sperm Selection

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sperm selection is a critical step in assisted reproductive technology (ART), as sperm quality directly influences embryo quality. In vivo, the female reproductive tract imposes several physical and physiological barriers that favors only the most optimal spermatozoa reaching the fertilization site.

Micro‐Nanoplastics Significantly Increase Adverse Events and Economic Burden Associated With Carotid Endarterectomy: A Health Economic Modelling Evaluation

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Current research reports that micro‐nanoplastics may increase the burden of cardiovascular disease with significant human and economic consequences. The detection of plastic particles in biological matrices is challenging and rigorous research is required to investigate the clinical and broader public health implications of microplastics.
