Harnessing bacterial extracellular vesicles for bone and cartilage organoids
BMEMat, EarlyView.This review presents bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs) as programmable bioactive regulators for bone and cartilage organoids by delivering functional cargos that modulate skeletal remodeling. It highlights key engineering strategies and future directions to advance next‐generation organoid models for bone aging related diseases.

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT During their long evolutionary history, land plants have evolved a range of adaptations to different abiotic stressors. These help explain present‐day diversity and distribution patterns, as well as the potential resilience of natural and agricultural systems to a changing climate. Most previous research has focused on adaptation to individual

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The lag in embedding leaders' decarbonization competences into sunset industry businesses (oil, gas, and petroleum), particularly in Middle Eastern hydrocarbon economies, poses an existential environmental and institutional challenge. In many such contexts, leaders' decarbonization competences remain subordinated to resource utilization and ...

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Additive manufacturing (AM) adoption provides numerous benefits, including decentralised production, design flexibility, mass customisation, reduced material waste and lightweight designs. However, AM investment decisions are complex and challenging for manufacturers, and limited knowledge exists about the holistic assessment of relevant costs
