Where Do We Fit? Reflections on Research Interview Practice, Project Design, and Interpretation**
Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte, EarlyView.What is special about historical research interviews in the history of science, technology, and medicine, and how do they compare to the tools of oral historians and social scientists? This essay reflects on three interview projects I have undertaken, each taking a distinct shape.

Hydrogel Embedding of Mesenchymal Stem Cells Supports Extracellular Vesicle Production
Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.This study investigates the effects of 3D culture conditions on extracellular vesicle (EV) production by mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in a gelatin‐based hydrogel matrix (GelMA). The EVs from both conditions were found to have similar morphological, molecular, and functional properties, but 3D cultures produced more total EVs per volume.

Improved Messenger RNA Stability and Biocompatibility Through Self‐Gelatinizable Nucleic Acids
Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Recent advances in the chemical synthesis and modification of messenger RNA (mRNA) have generated growing interest in mRNA‐based therapeutics. However, the inherent instability of mRNA in vivo and during storage remains a major challenge, requiring the development of safe and effective delivery systems.

, 2014 SUMO is an open source microscopic traffic simulation. A major component of modelling microscopic vehicle behavior is the lane-changing behavior on multi-lane roads. We describe a new model which uses a 4-layered hierarchy of motivations to determine the vehicle behavior during every simulation step and motivate in which ways it improves the current ...

BMEMat, EarlyView.Efficient drug delivery to the posterior segment of the eye has long been a challenging issue due to the complex ocular barriers. The review focuses on the promise held by nanoplatforms for barrier penetration and the key mechanisms involved, also highlighting their advantages in achieving efficient drug delivery and superior treatment of PSEDs ...

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Effective knowledge of ecological connectivity at sea and at the land–sea interface is key to supporting global policy goals to conserve and restore ocean biodiversity and function. However, a persistent lack of commonality in terminology and understanding around the concept of connectivity in marine ecological studies hampers its integration ...

The impacts of biological invasions
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Sentience in cephalopod molluscs: an updated assessment
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article evaluates the evidence for sentience – the capacity to have feelings – in cephalopod molluscs: octopus, cuttlefish, squid, and nautilus. Our framework includes eight criteria, covering both whether the animal's nervous system could support sentience and whether their behaviour indicates sentience.

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The shift towards sustainable food production is essential to address the urgent dual challenges of climate change and population growth, with agricultural cooperatives playing a vital role in this transformation. However, many cooperatives struggle to deliver the expected value to their members.
