How Does Heterogeneity Control Strain Localization Patterns in High‐Porosity Rocks?
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract We aim to explore how heterogeneous porosity and grain size contribute to strain localization patterns in highly porous rocks based on phase‐field simulations. The strain localization patterns, including shear bands, dilatation bands, and compaction bands, are commonly observed in geological field studies and laboratory experiments.

Fault Volume Digital Twin to Reproduce the Full Slip Spectrum, Scaling, and Statistical Laws
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Seismological and geodetic observations of fault zones reveal diverse slip dynamics, scaling, and statistical laws. Existing mechanisms explain some but not all of these behaviors. We show that incorporating an off‐fault damage zone—characterized by distributed fractures surrounding a main fault—can reproduce many key features observed in ...

Reactions in Unsaturated Soils: On the Dynamic Role of Heterogeneity‐Controlled Mixing
Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Soils are complex systems where different physical, chemical and biological processes occurring simultaneously and interact in a non‐linear way. Additionally, the high degree of soil heterogeneity poses significant challenges in studying soil reactivity due to its high impact on mixing.

Rethinking Invasive Mediastinal Staging in the Era of Neoadjuvant Immune‐Checkpoint Inhibitors
Thoracic Cancer, Volume 17, Issue 9, May 2026.As neoadjuvant immunotherapy reshapes resectability in NSCLC, the role of invasive mediastinal staging is being fundamentally reconsidered—with implications for risk stratification, patient selection, and trial design. ABSTRACT Over the past several decades, the management of nonmetastatic nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has centered on identifying ...

Opioids in breast cancer: Between analgesia and modulation of tumour progression
British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 9, Page 1727-1746, May 2026.Preclinical investigations consistently demonstrate that activation of μ‐opioid receptors and δ‐opioid receptors promote proliferation, migration, angiogenesis, epithelial‐mesenchymal transition, acquisition of cancer stem cell phenotypes, and chemoresistance.
