Ecological Interactions Between Native and Non-Native Lady Beetle Species.

Lady beetles (family Coccinellidae) are found worldwide, with 90% of the almost 6000 species acting as agriculturally beneficial predators. Lady beetles are an important biological pest control, commonly consuming aphids, and are also used as a ...

Advancing Human Skin Equivalents: The Crucial Role of Neurovascular Integration

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review discusses the importance of integrating vascular and peripheral nerve systems into human skin equivalents (HSEs) to better recapitulate native skin physiology. Recent advances in vascularized, innervated, and neurovascularized HSEs are highlighted, together with emerging bioengineering strategies, current challenges, and future ...

Facilitation of native and non-native species by intermediate foundation species

, 2013
Facilitation cascades stem from co-occurring habitat-forming species that add biogenic structure to otherwise barren ecosystems. Specifically, they are formed when the primary (basal) foundation species enables the establishment of intermediate ...

Human iPSC‐Derived Tissue‐Engineered Nigrostriatal Pathway for Chronic Restoration of Dopaminergic Axon Tracts in a Rat Parkinson's Model

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by conventional cell therapy and emerging bioengineering approaches, the tissue‐engineered nigrostriatal pathway (TE‐NSP) has an anatomically‐inspired design comprising a population of human dopaminergic neurons with unidirectional, long‐projecting axon tracts.

Measuring Blood Plasma Glutamine Levels Using a Nanopore‐Based Sensor

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Glutamine (GLN) is a biomarker useful for predicting toxic ammonia accumulation. Here, we used a biosensor based on the Cytolysin A (ClyA) nanopore coupled with the GLN‐specific protein substrate‐binding domain 2 (SBD2) to demonstrate real‐time measurement of GLN in blood plasma, highlighting the potential for future point‐of‐care applications ...

Bone Organoids Across the Development‐to‐Remodeling Continuum: From Tissue Formation to Functional Competence and Translation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Mineralization alone does not establish a mature bone organoid. This Review integrates biological foundations, materials design, adaptive remodeling, and translational validation through the development‐to‐remodeling continuum (DRC). By separating biological functions from the evidence supporting them, the framework exposes critical gaps in current ...
