Humidity‐driven shape morphing enhances fog harvesting in porous cactus spines

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Spine straightening and water collection during fog exposure in Turbinicarpus alonsoi. Summary Cacti develop spines instead of conventional leaves, which often serve as mechanical defence against herbivores. However, some cactus species grow porous and flexible spines, suggesting fundamentally different functions.

Field‐based evaluation of glass cullet as a supplementary sediment source for coastal restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
There is an ever‐increasing demand for sand to support projects like beach nourishment and dune restoration, but dredging and mining sand causes environmental damage. Demonstrating the environmental and ecological compatibility of crushed and ground glass known as cullet to support coastal restoration projects could simultaneously divert waste from ...

Single human fingertip mechanoreceptive afferents simultaneously encode multidimensional aspects of touch

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Mechanoreceptors in the fingertip skin allow us to explore objects and to feel a vast range of textures. We recorded responses from individual low‐threshold mechanoreceptive afferents in humans while dynamic stimuli were swept across their receptive fields, systematically varying force, velocity and spatial period.

β‐hydroxy‐β‐methylbutyrate improves fast‐twitch muscle function, histopathology and mitochondrial respiration in the D2.mdx dystrophic mouse

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend β‐Hydroxy‐β‐methylbutyrate (HMB) enhances fast‐twitch muscle and mitochondrial function in D2.mdx mice. Male DBA/2J (wild‐type) and D2.mdx mice aged 3 or 6 months received daily β‐hydroxy‐β‐methylbutyrate (HMB; 1 mg g−1 day−1) via drinking water for 8 weeks. Fast‐twitch extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and slow‐twitch soleus (SOL)
