Tumor Exposomics: A New Paradigm for Individualized Continuous Exposure Monitoring

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Tumor exposomics integrates continuous monitoring of environmental exposures, endogenous biological responses, and behavioral factors within a unified temporal framework. By combining multimodal sensing technologies with AI‐enabled causal modeling, this emerging paradigm reconstructs exposure‐damage trajectories and supports individualized dynamic risk

High‐Current‐Density Acidic CO2 Electroreduction to Formic Acid Enabled by Multiscale Microenvironment Regulation Over Defect‐Rich Sn/SnOx

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Acidic CO2 electroreduction to formic acid is enabled by integrating mixed Sn/SnOx nanoclusters, K+‐regulated interfacial solvation, and Janus wettability. Coordinated control of active sites, interfacial water, and gas‐liquid transport suppresses hydrogen evolution and delivers approximately 85% HCOOH Faradaic efficiency at 400 mA cm−2.

Global Burden and Temporal Trends of Early‐Onset Tracheal, Bronchial, and Lung Cancer: An Analysis of GLOBOCAN 2022 and GBD 2023 Data

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study systematically assessed the global burden and temporal trends of EOTBL cancer in individuals aged 15–49 years. Smoking, ambient particulate matter pollution, and secondhand smoke remain dominant risk factors. Countries within the same Human Development Index (HDI) category exhibit distinct epidemiological trajectories, underscoring the need ...

Integrating Perennial Groundcover in Corn and Soybean Acres: Impacts on U.S. Agriculture

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable agricultural practices such as cover cropping can improve soil health, water quality, and carbon sequestration, yet U.S. adoption remains limited due to economic and operational barriers. We evaluate market and economic impacts of integrating perennial groundcover into U.S.

Charting the Path to Increased Oil Palm Output in Ghana Beyond Area Expansion: Technology or Managerial Capacity — Which Leads the Way?

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study sets out to investigate the prospects for raising oil palm output in sub‐Saharan Africa, particularly Ghana, without further expansion of cropland. Given global concerns about oil palm's role in deforestation and land use change, the focus is on enhancing productivity on existing farmlands.
