Social risk to infant: The role of kin for maternal visual monitoring in Tibetan macaques

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Maternal monitoring of conspecifics is a crucial anti‐predator strategy that also protects infants against risks within the social group. This study examines how maternal characteristics, infant characteristics, mother–infant distance, and the social ...

The Cuttlebone Blueprint for Multifunctional Metamaterials: Design Taxonomy, Functional Decoupling, and Future Horizons

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Cuttlebone‐inspired metamaterials exploit a septum‐wall architecture to achieve excellent mechanical and functional properties. This review classifies existing designs into direct biomimetic, honeycomb‐type, and strut‐type architectures, summarizes governing design principles, and presents a decoupled design framework for interpreting multiphysical ...

Cooperation and Conflict. Sibling Relations in Contemporary Societies.

open access: yesFinnish Yearbook of Population Research, 2016
This study investigates sibling and “extended sibling” relations. Extended sibling relations refer to relations between nieces or nephews and aunts or uncles. Both cooperation and conflict between kin are investigated.

Hope amidst crisis: exploring perinatal mental health and family dynamics in out-of-home care through virtual assessments during the UK COVID-19 response

open access: yesFrontiers in Global Women's Health
Caring for a young child exposed to early trauma, along with caregiving stress and heightened by the impact of lockdowns as a result of the COVID-19 response, may compromise the development of the parent-child relationship. Understanding a foster carer's

Unraveling the Heterogeneity of Cargo Distribution in the Exogenous Association of Proteins With Extracellular Vesicles

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
We characterized the distribution of cargo proteins associated with extracellular vesicles using various exogenous loading methods. In all cases, single‐particle analysis revealed that the distribution of protein content per EV is heterogeneous, following an exponential decay function.

Hierarchical social modularity in gorillas

open access: yes, 2019
Modern human societies show hierarchical social modularity (HSM) in which lower-order social units like nuclear families are nested inside increasingly larger units.

Highly Sensitive Oxidation‐Resistant Degradable Janus Piezoresistive Electronic Skin for Sustainable Wearable Electronics

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a highly sensitive, oxidation‐resistant, biocompatible, and degradable Janus piezoresistive electronic skin for sustainable wearable electronics. The electronic skin exhibits sensitive and stable response across a broad pressure range, exceptional oxidation resistance, and Janus wettability.

The formal demography of kinship VII: Lifetime kin overlap within and across generations [PDF]

open access: yesDemographic Research
BACKGROUND: Interactions among kin have important consequences, including resource transfers, allo-parenting, health care, and economic support. Some interactions require that the lives of the interacting relatives overlap.

Giving It a Twist: One‐Step Fabrication of Aligned Biomimetic Yarn Scaffolds via Rotational Melt Electrofibrillation

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Due to its multifunctionality, replicating the fibrillar and supramolecular architecture of Collagen I is gaining increasing priority in regenerative medicine. Using rotational Melt Electrofibrillation, we present a powerful method to accurately mimic the ultrastructure of Collagen with polycaprolactone, enabling the one‐step fabrication of three ...
