Sex Differences in the Factors Associated With Lifetime Alcohol, Tobacco and Cannabis Use Among Ghanaian University Students: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
Among 600 Ghanaian university students, males had higher lifetime alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis use than females. Strict parental supervision protected males; Islamic faith protected females; residential autonomy and family conflict increased female cannabis use. Prevention strategies must be sex‐sensitive and culturally grounded.

Tissue Engineered Human Elastic Cartilage From Primary Auricular Chondrocytes for Ear Reconstruction

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 36, 4 May 2026.
Despite over three decades of research, no tissue‐engineered solution for auricular reconstruction in microtia patients has reached clinical translation. The key challenge lies in generating functional elastic cartilage ex vivo. Here, we integrate synergistic cell‐biomaterial strategies to engineer auricular grafts with mechanical and histological ...

The Maize ZmbHLH118 Transcription Factor Regulates Vacuolar Nitrate Loading by the NO3− Transporter ZmCLCa

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 25, 4 May 2026.
In maize, the bHLH transcription factor ZmbHLH118 directly binds to the promoter of ZmCLCa and inhibits its expression. Tonoplast‐localized ZmCLCa mediates NO3− influx into the vacuole to regulate intracellular NO3− homeostasis, modulating nitrate uptake and metabolism, plant growth, and grain yield.

Understanding Multiscale Lithium Transport Dynamics in Composite Si‐C Electrodes: An Asymptotic Framework for GITT Experiments

Battery Energy, Volume 5, Issue 3, May 2026.
This study introduces an asymptotic analysis to elucidate the multi‐scale transport mechanisms driving the relaxation dynamics in GITT experiments on composite Si‐C/graphite electrodes. The approach not only enhances physical understanding of coupled lithium transport mechanisms but also establishes a base for redesigning GITT protocols to achieve more

New Insight Into the Evolutionary Arms Race Between Spider Egg Sac Pseudoparasitoids and Active Maternal Care by the Spiders

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
We analysed various points of the counter‐adaptations of the spider egg sac pseudoparasitoid and spiders exhibiting active maternal care, utilising the ichneumonid Hidryta fusiventris and the wolf spider Pardosa lugubris. We observed that there is a time shift of approximately 1 month between the first egg sac of P.
