Mapping Scytonemin Pigment Content and Biocrust Functional Indicators Using High‐Resolution Multispectral Imagery

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that high‐resolution multispectral imagery combined with machine learning can accurately predict key biocrust functional indicators, particularly the UV‐protective pigment scytonemin, across dryland ecosystems. Using fine‐scale imagery acquired in the Chihuahuan Desert and Colorado Plateau, we identified spectral bands strongly ...

Addressing Water Scarcity in Agriculture: A Bibliometric Analysis of Hydrogel‐Based Strategies for Drought Resilience and Sustainable Water Management

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drought poses a significant threat to agricultural systems worldwide, exacerbating challenges to food security and sustainability. Hydrogels, superabsorbent polymers that can retain substantial amounts of water, have emerged as a promising solution to mitigate the adverse effects of drought. In this integrated bibliometric and narrative review,

From Consumer Plastics to Aquatic Toxicants: Oxidative and Endocrine Effects of Microplastics on Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas) Larvae

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Secondary microplastics (MPs) from single‐use consumer products are rapidly becoming one of the most persistent and widespread pollutants of our time. Freshwater systems act as early sinks for MPs where fragmentation and additive leaching expose aquatic life to a broad spectrum of toxic compounds.

Gut microbiota dysbiosis in the inflammatory pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy

VIEW, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract illustrates how gut dysbiosis drives diabetic retinopathy through the gut‐retina axis, a process unfolding in three interconnected stages. First, in the gut, a decrease in beneficial bacteria and an increase in pro‐inflammatory taxa compromise the intestinal barrier, causing a “leaky gut” that allows LPS to translocate into the ...

Plant‐derived nanovesicles as potential drug delivery systems for topical use: Emerging applications in dermatology and cosmetology

VIEW, EarlyView.
Plant‐derived nanovesicles (PDNVs) are naturally secreted by fruit, vegetables, seeds, leaves and other natural sources. Used as drug delivery systems, they can combine intrinsic therapeutic activity, enhanced skin permeation and cargo‐carrying capacity, suitable for dermatological and cosmetic applications including hydration, antioxidant/anti ...
