Genomic insights into the local adaptation of spontaneous olive trees in the Mediterranean Basin highlight the need for conservation planning in the face of global change

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The Mediterranean Basin, a major biodiversity hotspot, is highly vulnerable to climate and global changes. Wild olive trees form an essential part of this landscape and hold strong ecological, cultural and socio‐economic significance. By examining how these trees responded to past climatic conditions, this study shows adaptation of olive trees to local

Synergies of Geospatial and Digital Technologies for Sustainable Rural Development: A Data‐Driven Analysis of Topics and Novelty Assessment

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The adoption of geospatial and digital technologies, including Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Building Information Modelling (BIM), Digital Twins, the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), is increasingly recognised as key enablers of sustainable development.

Stress‐Adaptive Biomaterials With Tunable Yielding Architectures Regulate Organoid Morphogenesis

Small, EarlyView.
Granular hydrogels are developed to tune the yield stress levels at which 3D tissue culture matrices undergo plastic deformation. We use these materials to regulate growth‐induced stresses, with demonstrable effects on cancer spheroid invasion and brain organoid morphogenesis.

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Using programmable infusion pump in avian species – a validation methodology in geese

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife face anthropogenic and natural stressors that affect their physiology and behaviour. The activity of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis and glucocorticoid (GC) production is intrinsically linked with energy regulation and environmental stressors.

Calcitonin‐like diuretic hormone influences reproduction in adult female Rhodnius prolixus

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Highlights • CT/DH‐like immunoreactivity is present in female reproductive tissues • CT/DH receptor transcripts are expressed in the fat body and ovaries • RNAi knockdown of CT/DH receptors reduces egg number and hatching rate • Rhopr‐CT/DH increases RhoprVg1 and RhoprVgR expression in ovaries in vitro • Rhopr‐CT/DH stimulates oviduct contractions in a

The Intriguing History of Gloves and Their Application to Surgery

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Gloves were first worn to protect against cold and injury. In surgery, their purpose now is to reduce surgical site infection and blood‐borne transmission of disease. Surprisingly, their adoption in surgery as a routine has been remarkably recent and had a bizarre origin.

Serum‐derived microribonucleic acids as potential novel biomarkers for slowly progressive type 1 diabetes mellitus

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
This study evaluated serum miRNAs as biomarkers in adult patients with SPIDDM. Serum miRNAs were measured at the time of SPIDDM (probable) diagnosis, and miR‐150‐5p was inversely associated with CPI at the last outpatient visit, suggesting its potential utility for predicting subsequent insulin secretory decline.

Association of glycation gap with hypoglycemia CGM indices, diabetic complications, and quality of life in Japanese type 2 diabetes patients

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
The difference between HbA1c and estimated A1c (eA1c) was defined as the GGap. The strong association of high GGap with CGM‐based hypoglycemic indices in type 2 diabetes is evident. The large GGap values, relying solely on HbA1c values during treatment, may increase the risk of hypoglycemia in patients with T2DM.

The Relationship Between Global and Domain‐Specific Evaluations of Life Satisfaction: A Feedback Loop Theory

Journal of Personality, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Previous studies on the relationship between global (top‐down) and domain‐specific (bottom‐up) evaluations of life satisfaction have revealed mixed findings. The current study investigated the reciprocal relationship between top‐down and bottom‐up processes using two analytic methods to properly account for time‐varying predictors ...
