From Lab to Landscape: Environmental Biohybrid Robotics for Ecological Futures

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This Perspective explores environmental biohybrid robotics, integrating living tissues, microorganisms, and insects for operation in real‐world ecosystems. It traces the leap from laboratory experiments to forests, wetlands, and urban environments and discusses key challenges, development pathways, and opportunities for ecological monitoring and ...

Thermal Stress and Coral Cover as Drivers of Coral Disease Outbreaks

PLoS Biology, 2007
Very little is known about how environmental changes such as increasing temperature affect disease dynamics in the ocean, especially at large spatial scales. We asked whether the frequency of warm temperature anomalies is positively related to the frequency of coral disease across 1,500 km of Australia's Great Barrier Reef.

Viruses: agents of coral disease? [PDF]

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2006
The potential role of viruses in coral disease has only recently begun to receive attention. Here we describe our attempts to determine whether viruses are present in thermally stressed corals Pavona danai, Acropora formosa and Stylophora pistillata and zoanthids Zoanthus sp., and their zooxanthellae. Heat-shocked P. danai, A.

Magnetoelectric Nanoparticle‐Based Wireless Brain–Computer Interface: Underlying Physics and Projected Technology Pathway

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Magnetoelectric nanoparticles (MENPs) enable fully wireless, minutely invasive neuromodulation, and potentially neural recording, by converting magnetic into electric and, conversely, electric into magnetic fields, respectively, at high spatiotemporal resolution.

Novel antibacterial activity of Sargassum fusiforme extract against coral white band disease

Electronic Journal of Biotechnology, 2022
Background: Coral diseases are one of the serious threats embroiling in the imbalance of the coral holobiont integrity through disruption of the complex symbiotic relationship between endobiotic alga, coral animal, and a group of microorganisms.

Maximizing Nanoscale Disorder in Block Copolymers for Orientation‐Independent SERS Platform Toward Non‐Invasive Diagnostics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Maximizing Nanoscale Disorder in Block Copolymers for Orientation‐Independent SERS Platform toward Non‐Invasive Diagnostics is a nature‐inspired strategy that engineers controlled randomness within block copolymer lamellae to achieve optical isotropy without compromising nanoscale periodicity.

Sea Urchins Predation Facilitates Coral Invasion in a Marine Reserve [PDF]

, 2011
Macroalgae is the dominant trophic group on Mediterranean infralittoral rocky bottoms, whereas zooxanthellate corals are extremely rare. However, in recent years, the invasive coral Oculina patagonica appears to be increasing its abundance through ...

ICOS‐ImmunoPET Monitors T Cell Activation After Combination Immune Checkpoint Blockade in a Mouse Model of Melanoma Brain Metastasis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ICOS‐immunoPET noninvasively visualizes activated T cells in melanoma brain metastases following combined anti‐PD‐1/anti‐CTLA‐4 therapy. Clinical translation of this imaging approach may improve patient stratification and treatment monitoring and serve as a quantitative imaging endpoint to support immunotherapy development and clinical trials in brain ...
