Smooth Muscle Mechanosensitivity Generates and Maintains Pressure Gradients Across the Intestine

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, Volume 38, Issue 1, January 2026.
Mechanosensitivity of the smooth muscle induces a positive‐feedback loop that spontaneously generates pressure gradients across gut segments and stabilizes initially applied pressure gradients. It can act jointly or compete with the pressure gradient induced by directional peristaltic waves.

Integrating Soft Waste Into Composite Yarn Manufacturing: A Multi‐Criteria Decision‐Making Approach

International Journal of Polymer Science, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The spinning industries negatively impact the environment by generating substantial process waste. Unlike previous studies that primarily focus on recycling textile waste, this study explores a sustainable practice by incorporating process waste (soft waste) into manufacturing techniques to produce composite yarn with different components, including ...

Utilising plant‐derived dyes for designed changeability in textiles

Coloration Technology, Volume 141, Issue 6, Page 828-842, December 2025.
Abstract Natural plant extracts have been used for dyeing textiles since prehistoric times. With the discovery of synthetic dyes in 1856, the consumption of natural dyes declined sharply. However, the current focus on closed‐loop systems, the circular economy and the promotion of sustainable industries aimed at reducing environmental impact (eg, The ...

A stage-wise conversion factor approach for predicting fabric width and mass per unit area in cotton/elastane single lacoste knitted fabrics

Next Materials
The precise control of the width and mass per unit area (GSM, g/m²) is of paramount importance in an industrial production environment of cotton/elastane knitted fabrics owing to the dimensional variability that elastane introduces. This work describes a

Ski Tourism Shapes the Snow Microbiome on Ski Slopes in the Italian Central Alps

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2025.
Ski tourism alters the snow microbiome by increasing microbial load and introducing human‐ and host‐associated taxa. These shifts may impact alpine ecosystem functions and highlight the need for systematic microbiome monitoring in mountain environments.
