Heparin‐Modified Aligned Collagen Scaffolds Enhance In Vitro Myogenesis

open access: yesJournal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Biomaterial‐based skeletal muscle tissue engineering approaches have largely focused on mimicking the 3D aligned architecture of native muscle, which is critical for guiding myotube formation and force transmission. In contrast, fewer studies incorporate glycosaminoglycan (GAG)‐mediated biochemical cues despite their known role in regulating ...

Facilitative interspecific interactions in marine vertebrates across scales: from individuals to ecosystems

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 519-538, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Facilitative interspecific interactions (FIIs) confer benefits to at least one participant without detriment to others. Although often less emphasised than antagonistic interactions in ecological studies, this review highlights the significant ecological role of FIIs across biological scales – from individual behaviours to population ...

ABSTRACT Constitutional political economy theory implies that systems of rights can emerge from different processes, but the rights that initially emerge tend to be unequal and to change through time. In some cases, rights may become more equal and universal, but not often. If rights are consequential, then understanding their origins and the political,

Variation in responses to temperature in admixed Populus genotypes predicts geographic shifts in regions where hybrids are favored

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 3, Page 1509-1526, February 2026.
Summary Plastic responses of plants to their environment vary as a result of genetic differentiation within and among species. To accurately predict rangewide responses to climate change, it is necessary to characterize genotype‐specific reaction norms across the continuum of historic and future climate conditions comprising a species' range. The North
