New techniques for old bones: Morphometric and diffeomorphometric analysis of the bony labyrinth of the Reilingen and Ehringsdorf Neandertals

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Neandertals are known to possess very distinctive traits in their bony labyrinth morphology, such as an inferiorly positioned posterior canal and a very low number of turns in the cochlea. Hence, the inner ear has been often used to assess the Neandertal status of fragmentary fossils.

A Practical Gut‐On‐Chip Workflow for Imaging‐Based Assessment of Epithelial Barrier Dynamics During E. coli Co‐Culture

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The intestinal epithelium and its resident microbiota form a dynamic interface that is central to gut homeostasis, but this interface is difficult to model with conventional tools. Static Transwell cultures lack physiological fluid shear, whereas animal models are costly and poorly suited to quantitative, high‐content imaging.

Magnetoelastic Cell Monitoring System for Evaluating the Effects of Surface Chemistry on the Performance of Mesenchymal Stem Cell Growth

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The recent clinical adoption of cell therapies has increased the need for more efficient, robust, and reproducible manufacturing technologies. Human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs), a major component of the cell and immunotherapeutic market, remain challenging to manufacture at scale because they require surface attachment and are highly ...

A nanoplatform that induces dual‐amino acid deprivation to reverse tumor immunosuppression and enhance metabolic immunotherapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
ZIF‐8‐based nanoparticles co‐delivering CB‐839 (glutaminase inhibitor) and 1‐MT (IDO1 inhibitor), dual‐targeting glutamine/tryptophan metabolism to induce immunogenic cell death, activate STING, block kynurenine production, reverse immunosuppression, and enhance cancer immunotherapy to suppress primary/distant tumors.

A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

The extension of the taxon cycle model to island plants: insights from the Canarian vascular flora

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Taxon cycle models describe eco‐evolutionary patterns of lineage colonization, diversification, and decline across archipelagos, inferring an important role for competition amongst ecologically similar taxa in driving concurrent niche changes.

Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.

Does Climate Risk Affect Employment Decisions? International Evidence

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the effect of climate risk on corporate employment decisions. Using a large sample from 41 countries, we find a positive association between climate risk and underinvestment in labor, notably manifesting as excessive employee layoffs.

Synthesis and characterization of amphiphilic nitroxide 1,1,3,3–tetraethylisoindoline–2–oxyl–5–sodium sulfonate (TEIOSNa)

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract The synthesis and characterization of an amphiphilic nitroxide to be used as a controlling agent in a nitroxide‐mediated living radical polymerization in aqueous dispersion media is presented. In the first stage of nitroxide synthesis (phthalimide protection), two reaction methods were employed: traditional and microwave.

Synthesis and characterization of a highly hydrophilic nanocomposite for wettability alteration, water/oil interfacial tension reduction, and enhanced oil recovery

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Mechanism of wettability alteration, interfacial tension reduction, and oil recovery by novel nanocomposite. Abstract The development of stable nanofluids (NFs) for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) relies on optimizing interactions between reservoir rocks and fluids.
