Resilient Calvarial Bone Marrow Supports Retinal Repair in Type 2 Diabetes

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Skull bone (calvarium) marrow in diabetic mice stay structurally intact and keeps making blood cells, unlike the bone marrow of the leg bones. The skull marrow is exposed to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which contains protective molecules called oxysterols.

Ecological droughts increased in India with changing Indian summer monsoon and human interventions

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment
Substantial ecological ramifications of moisture stress in ecosystems is called ecological droughts, and are largely unexplored for India. Here, we investigate ecological droughts, their drivers and implications in Indian Summer Monsoon during 2000–2019 ...

High frequency temperature variability reduces the risk of coral bleaching

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Coral bleaching is the detrimental expulsion of algal symbionts from their cnidarian hosts, and predominantly occurs when corals are exposed to thermal stress. The incidence and severity of bleaching is often spatially heterogeneous within reef-scales (

Feline‐Inspired Robot Enabled by Combustion‐Driven Actuators for Agile Motion and High‐Payload Obstacle Traversal

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by nature's competitive maneuvers, this study introduces a combustion‐driven soft actuator that powers a multi‐modal “Jump‐and‐Fly Catbot” (JFC). With millisecond response, high‐force output (over 70 times its weight) and precise control (error within 5%), the robot can jump, fly, hover, and escape from challenging environments, achieving ...

Corals, fishermen and tourists [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Two major anthropogenic activities that disturb coral reefs are fishing and tourism, even though coral reefs are important for both fishing and tourism. Already more than 60 per cent of all reefs worldwide are endangered. The use of explosives and poison

Photon‐to‐Heat Energy Harvesting Fluorescent Protein Coatings for Thermoelectrics

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Fluorescent proteins (FPs) are used in light‐absorbing coatings on thermoelectric generators (TEGs) to convert light into heat and generate electricity. By tuning the properties of FP‐doped polymer matrices, photothermal efficiencies of up to 48% have been achieved.

Non‐Native Herpetofauna Continue to Proliferate in the World's Most Invaded Herpetofauna Community

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
The spread of non‐native species continues to increase around the globe, highlighting the importance of understanding both the dynamics of the invaded communities in which non‐natives comprise a high percentage of the total fauna and the factors that may

Mapping global coral vulnerability to stony coral tissue loss disease: implications for biosecurity and conservation

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) has devastated Caribbean coral reefs since 2014, but its potential for global impact remains uncertain. We developed predictive models to assess the worldwide vulnerability of coral reefs to SCTLD under different ...

Social acceptability of a marine protected area: The case of Reunion Island [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
This paper examines variations in social acceptability of a Marine Protected Area (MPA) prior to implementation. The influence of a number of factors, including socio-economic characteristics, perception of coral resources state of health and attitudes ...
