Directional information flow in human frataxin defines allosteric pathways connecting the hydrophobic core to the iron‐binding ridge

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Human frataxin deficiency causes Friedreich's ataxia, yet how iron‐binding events are communicated across the protein is unclear. Using transfer entropy analysis of molecular dynamics simulations, we identify buried hydrophobic core leucines (LEU136, LEU140) as the source of directional signaling toward the iron‐binding acidic ridge.

Chamber‐Specific Decellularized Extracellular Matrices Differentially Modulate Cardiomyocyte Subtypes to Drive Engineered Heart Tissue Development and Function

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 30, 14 August 2026.
Chamber‐specific decellularized extracellular matrices (ECMs) were developed, preserving native proteomic profiles of ventricular and atrial myocardium. These innate biochemical cues differentially modulate cardiomyocyte subtypes to drive engineered heart tissue development and function, highlighting the importance of incorporating regional ECM cues in

Narrative reconstruction of the self: Living funerals as rituals of trauma and transformation

open access: yesThe Australian Journal of Anthropology, Volume 37, Issue 2, Page 364-383, August 2026.
Abstract Living funerals mark a radical reconfiguration of contemporary engagements with mortality, transforming death from an imposed ending into an actively authored narrative. This study examines the practice in Hong Kong's hybrid sociocultural landscape, where traditional Chinese death rituals collide with neoliberal selfhood and globalised ...

Interfacial Polysulfide Confinement via Spatially Controlled Sulfonated Metal–Organic Polyhedra Coatings in Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 38, 9 July 2026.
Spatially controlled sulfonated metal–organic polyhedra (SMOP) coating on sulfur‐loaded hollow carbon spheres form ultrathin, conformal interfacial barriers that selectively confine soluble polysulfides, stabilize sulfur redox, and suppress shuttle reactions.

Tissue‐Stimulator Platform for Electrically Stimulating Pancreatic β‐Cells for Long‐Term Functional Regulation

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 49, 18 June 2026.
We present a tissue‐stimulator platform for seamless electrode integration with pancreatic tissue, applying uniform electrical stimulation through optimized design with biohybrid 3D printing. Advantageous effects of electrical stimulation on β‐cell function were observed, including enhanced calcium signaling, islet morphology, and maturation.

Medicine for the Material World

open access: yesArchaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 3, Page 434-439, June 2026.
ABSTRACT It is clear that many of the inorganic materials of antiquity have been used both as medicines for human ills and also as agents in technological processes. This paper speculates that there might have been a stronger link between these two functions in the past, based on the concept of “active agents”—materials that are efficacious at curing ...

Mammals' zoogeochemical effects change litter and soil biogeochemistry in a tropical rainforest

open access: yesEcological Monographs, Volume 96, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract While most research on nutrient cycling has focused on plant–soil interactions or soil decomposers, recent studies highlight the emerging role of terrestrial mammals in contributing to biogeochemical cycles, a field known as zoogeochemistry. More than half of all mammal species are found in tropical forests, ecosystems currently experiencing ...

Anthropologist, heal thyself: Toward an anthropology of healing through relational interbeing

open access: yesFeminist Anthropology, Volume 7, Issue 1, May 2026.
Abstract I call for an anthropology that confronts its own woundedness. Anthropologists often bear witness to suffering but rarely examine how our own grief, trauma, and institutional distress shape the affective tone of our work. Drawing on fieldwork with Runa (Quechua) women affected by forced sterilization in Peru and guided by my collaborator and ...

Peptidic product derived from trypsin autolysis modulates insect digestive proteases and supports plant biochemical defense

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 4632-4647, May 2026.
XXXX Abstract BACKGROUND Spodoptera frugiperda, commonly known as the fall armyworm, is a highly economically significant pest that affects various crops, resulting in substantial losses in productivity. Managing this pest primarily relies on chemical insecticides; however, the repeated development of resistance to these chemicals has rendered them ...
