A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

Building phenotypic character matrices for phylogenetic inference: exploration of 35 years of practice

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent methodological development in phylogenetic inference has focused predominantly on molecular data. However, renewed interest in other data types, particularly morphological data, has followed from the increased recognition of the power of total evidence and tip‐dating approaches, including fossil data, for inference of time‐scaled trees ...

Titanium‐Catalyzed Diastereoselective Keto‐ and Iminonitrile Cyclizations

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
The titanium(III)‐catalyzed diastereoselective cyclization of readily‐available substituted ketonitriles gives cyclopentanones in good yield and stereoselectivity. Subsequent 1,2‐addition allows the preparation of cyclopentyls with three consecutive stereocenters.

Photoreversible Polyurea Actuators With Spatiotemporal Control and Adaptive Mechanics

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A light–thermal responsive polyurea network incorporating reversibly dimerizable anthracene units enables spatiotemporal modulation of cross‐linking density and nearly 400‐fold stiffness tuning. Integrating programmable anisotropy, photopatterning, self‐healing, and photowelding within a single framework, this bioinspired “one network–multifunction ...

Transendocardial injection of expanded autologous CD34+ cells after myocardial infarction: Design of the EXCELLENT trial

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1455-1463, April 2025.
Abstract Aims The extent of irreversible cardiomyocyte necrosis after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a major determinant of residual left ventricular (LV) function and clinical outcome. Cell therapy based on CD34+ cells has emerged as an option to help repair the myocardium and to improve outcomes.

Active Stiffness Modulation of Flexible PDMS Elastomer by Embedding Shape Memory Alloy Wires: Fabrication and Modeling

FlexTech, EarlyView.
Active stiffness modulation is achieved in NiTi shape memory alloy‐reinforced PDMS and carbon fiber‐epoxy composites, with reversible 3‐fold modulus increase via Joule heating and validated predictive models, which resolves longstanding adaptive design challenges.
