Hierarchical Collagen Nanofiber Gels Recapitulate a Physiologically Relevant Tumor Stromal Microenvironment

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 34, 11 September 2026.
The collagen nanofiber (CNF) gel supports cancer cell culture, exhibiting cell morphology and cancer‐related protein expression similar to Matrigel. It offers a higher collagen concentration than commercial gels. Additionally, the CNF gel allows replication of the high elasticity of in vivo cancer tissue by controlling collagen fiber sizes, ranging ...

Hierarchical Assembly as a Design Principle: Structure–Property Relationships Linking Biological Architectures to Functional Aggregate Materials

Aggregate, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2026.
Biological function arises from aggregates rather than from molecules. Comparing biomimetic systems on a common basis reveals three transferable design rules governing hierarchical assembly, interfacial gradients, and stimulus‐coupled anisotropy, and identifies self‐healing and single‐step multiscale integration as properties that do not transfer to ...

Schwann Cells in Physical Nerve Injury and Tumor Perineural Invasion: A Functional Overview and Comparison

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The nervous system exhibits remarkable stability, making its repair challenging. Compared to the central nervous system, peripheral nerve injuries demonstrate a greater potential for regeneration. Schwann cells, the unique myelinating glial cells of the peripheral nervous system, possess striking plasticity and support nerve regeneration ...

DNA Extraction Optimisation for Minute Land Snails of Vertigo Müller, 1773 (Gastropoda: Vertiginidae): A Comparative Evaluation of Six Methods, Including a Non‐Destructive Shell‐Preserving Protocol

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
We compared six DNA extraction methods for minute Vertigo land snails, including a rapid non‐destructive HotSHOT protocol that preserves shells. The shell‐preserving protocol produced sequenceable DNA from very small and conservation‐relevant specimens while retaining voucher morphology.

Survival of Escherichia coli in Edible Land Snails: Implications for Heliciculture and Public Health

Pathogens
Background: Land snails are considered a delicacy in many countries in Europe and sub-Saharan Africa. However, the interaction of microbial pathogens with land snails may present a public health threat when handling and/or consuming snails.

Effects of Salinity and Temperature on Survival, Growth, and Food Intake of Ramshorn Snail (Helisoma anceps)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study examines how salinity and temperature affect the survival, growth, and food intake of the freshwater snail Helisoma anceps. Snails exposed to salinities of 10 ppt and above died within 48 h, while growth and food intake decreased as salinity increased. The results provide information on the environmental limits of H. anceps and its use under

Wet adhesion and adhesive locomotion of snails on anti-adhesive non-wetting surfaces [PDF]

, 2012
Creating surfaces capable of resisting liquid-mediated adhesion is extremely difficult due to the strong capillary forces that exist between surfaces.
