Hydrogel Confinement Strategies for 3D Cell Culture in Microfluidic Systems
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Hydrogel confinement structures are key to organizing 3D cell cultures in microfluidic devices. This review classifies five structural strategies (micropillar, phaseguide, porous membrane, stepped‐height, and support‐free) and examines their trade‐offs alongside fabrication methods.

Structural and Functional Characterization of EXPO‐Derived Extracellular Vesicles in Plants
Advanced Science, EarlyView.In this study, 3D electron tomography (ET), cryo‐ET, and immunogold transmission electron microscopy (TEM) are employed to characterize plant extracellular vesicles (EVs) under physiological conditions. EVs are classified into three distinct categories according to their size, content, and molecular‐marker profiles. Furthermore, Exo70E2‐positive medium

Plant pathogens as biocontrol agents of Cirsium arvense : an overestimated approach? [PDF]
, 2011 Cirsium arvense is one of the worst weeds in agriculture. As herbicides are not very effective and not accepted by organic farming and special habitats, possible biocontrol agents have been investigated since many decades.
