Shaping Function: Polymeric 3D Systems With Unconventional Geometries for Biomedical Applications
Particle shape is a key design parameter governing biological interactions. Advances in fabrication enable precise control over anisotropy and compartmentalization, allowing modulation of cellular uptake, transport, and biodistribution, ultimately enhancing therapeutic performance. ABSTRACT Polymer geometry is a primary determinant of physical behavior

Coastal aquaculture ponds represent a notable source of the blooming jellyfish Aurelia coerulea
The frequent occurrence of Aurelia coerulea medusae in coastal waters poses a serious threat to power plants and fisheries, emphasizing the importance of early jellyfish bloom detection. Owing to the complex life cycle of jellyfish and the limitations of

Synthetic pelagic biomass size spectra of the tropical and subtropical Atlantic
Abstract Synthetic normalized biomass size spectra (NBSS) comprising non‐synoptically sampled phytoplankton, meso‐ and macrozooplankton, and micronekton including mesopelagic fishes were explored to analyze pelagic community structure in seven regions of the tropical and the subtropical Atlantic representative of different water bodies (NE Brazil shelf,

Jellyfish‐Derived Activated Carbon: Synthesis, Characterization, and Adsorption Performance
This research introduces a circular economy solution for environmental water cleanup by transforming invasive jellyfish biomass into high‐quality activated carbon. Through pyrolysis and KOH activation, the created porous material efficiently removes methylene blue and lead from water.

Reframing jellyfish perception from “enemies” to “helpers” through Ocean Literacy
Despite covering three-quarters of Earth’s surface and comprising 99% of its habitable space, the ocean remains underrepresented in formal education, contributing to widespread Ocean Literacy (OL) deficits.
