Sound‐Based Assembly of Magnetically Actuated Soft Robots Toward Enhanced Release of Extracellular Vesicles

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
Magnetic soft robots offer promise in biomedicine due to their wireless actuation and rapid response, but current fabrication methods are complex and have limited cellular compatibility. A new, contactless bioassembly strategy using hydrodynamic instabilities is introduced, enabling customizable, centimeter‐scale robots.

Lost in aggregation? On the importance of local food price data for food poverty estimates

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper explores within‐country variations in food price dynamics and food poverty estimates by employing local market price data and national consumer price index (CPI) data. Our results show that national CPI data may be useful for approximating national trends but they fail to detect and identify spatial variations in local trends, which

Study of the coastal reef fishery pressure in a South Pacific Island (Bora-Bora, French Polynesia)

Aquatic Living Resources
In the context of the general overexploitation of South Pacific reef fisheries, there is a global push to precisely define fishery parameters such as fishing effort, annual landings, and exploitation levels.

Choice experiments on land managers' participation in environmental programs: A systematic review and meta‐analysis of estimate validity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Discrete choice experiments are increasingly being used to estimate land managers' willingness to accept participation in incentive‐based environmental programs. This is a specific application of discrete choice experiments: the estimation of willingness to accept for a private good (program participation) where respondents have to make trade ...

NO NĀ PUA: Exploring the feasibility of culture‐based social prescribing on firefighters' wellbeing in Hawaiʻi

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Firefighters face an array of stressors due to the demands of their occupation, leading to a high prevalence of mental health challenges. Social prescribing represents a novel approach to healthcare that emphasizes a holistic view of health and wellbeing.

Preliminary Investigation Into the Appropriateness of Control Measures and Harvest Control Rules for a Data‐Limited, Sex‐Changing Fish Managed by Harvest Slot Limits

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries
Fisheries assessments require valid life‐history information to evaluate species’ abundance and reproductive potential. Assessing sequential hermaphrodites requires additional information to account for these species’ complex maturation schedules.

Distribution of Big Tau Isoforms in the Human Central and Peripheral Nervous System

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Tau is widely studied in neurodegeneration, yet most work has focused on canonical brain tau isoforms. A longer isoform, “big tau,” produced by inclusion of exon 4a, is expressed in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and central nervous system (CNS) regions.

Biophysical Characterization and Proteomic Analysis of Small Extracellular Vesicles Derived From Different Neural Cell Lines

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
This study systematically compares small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) derived from four neural cell lines, revealing how cellular origin shapes vesicle biophysical properties and proteomic cargo. Distinct, lineage‐specific signatures linked to neuronal, astrocytic, and microglial functions are identified, highlighting the importance of cell source ...

Fibrillisation and Mechanical Properties of Plasma‐Treated Modification LDPE/PA6 Microfibrillar Composites

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Plasma treatment enhances interfacial adhesion between LDPE/PA6 via carbonyl group formation. PA6 droplet size heterogeneity reduced to ~850 nm after plasma treatment. Drawing at 160°C produces highly oriented microfibrils with faster throughput. Plasma‐treated MFCs show up to 500% tensile strength increase and 18% higher stiffness.

T. rex cognition was T. rex‐like—A critical outlook on diverging views of the neurocognitive evolution in dinosaurs

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract A recent debate has emerged between Caspar et al. (2024) and Herculano‐Houzel (2023) on inferring extinct dinosaur cognition by estimating brain neuron counts. While thought‐provoking, the discussion largely overlooks the function of cognition, as well as partly neglects the difficulties involved in estimating neuron numbers, which according ...
