Psychological adaptation to extreme environments: Antarctica as a space analogue [PDF]
, 2018 Space analogues are settings where particular conditions can be reproduced to study physiological and psychological variables experienced in space. Antarctica is one of the most reliable analogues to assess the effects of isolation, confinement, light ...

Generalized Mechanism Model for Ecosystem Hysteresis
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A simplified model examines ecosystem transitions into alternative states after disturbances by leveraging positive and negative feedbacks. It identifies critical tipping points and quantifies hysteresis. Tests conducted on lakes, grasslands, and pitcher‐plant leaves align closely with empirical data and enable the prediction of recovery trajectories ...

p16Ink4a‐Positive Hepatocytes Drive Liver Fibrosis Through Activation of LIFR Family Pathway
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study found that, following the long‐term CCl4 treatment, p16high hepatocytes appeared in zone 3, spatially co‐localizing with fibrotic areas. A specific cluster of p16high hepatocytes upregulated CTF1/LIF expression which induced HSC activation and further liver fibrosis, as revealed by single cell transcriptomic analysis.

Tough and Temperature‐Resistant Material Based on Bombyx mori Silk Fibroin
Advanced Science, EarlyView.We propose a biomimetic “Hydration‐Crystallization Locking” (HCL) strategy inspired by Bombyx mori spinning to enhance silk fibroin (SF) performance in extreme temperatures. A flexible fibroin membrane (FFM) shows high strength, toughness, and shape retention under −196°C and 70°C.

Rod‐Like PLGA Microrobots with Enhanced Motion and Biodegradation for Magnetic‐Guided Drug Delivery
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This study presents drug‐loaded Poly (lactic‐co‐glycolic acid) (PLGA) microrobots fabricated from an oil‐in‐water (O/W) emulsion of PLGA, Fe3O4 nanoparticles, and Adriamycin (DOX). They are formed by film‐forming and stretching microrobots, and exhibit motion analyzed via video‐snapshots, speed graphs, and shape changes, advancing targeted for drug ...
