Metasurfaces in Adaptive Optics: A New Opportunity in Optical Wavefront Sensing

open access: yesLaser &Photonics Reviews, Volume 19, Issue 24, December 17, 2025.
Wavefront sensing constitutes a critical component of adaptive optics systems, aimed at quantitatively measuring distorted wavefronts and enabling closed‐loop correction in optical setups. Metasurfaces, as planar optical elements composed of nanoscale structures, provide exceptional freedom in modulating multiple dimensions of the light field.

Optimized Monothiol Thioredoxin Derivative (ORP100S) Protects In Vitro and In Vivo from Radiation and Chemotoxicity Without Promoting Tumor Proliferation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 42, November 13, 2025.
Native thioredoxin‐1 (TRX) stimulates proliferation and rescues stem cells and cancer cells from multiple stressors by suppressing p53 and inhibiting ferroptosis via GPX4/SLC7A11 upregulation mediated by enhanced KLF4 expression and p53 promoter binding.

Exposed weapons: A revised reconstruction of the facial anatomy and life appearance of the saber‐toothed cat Megantereon (Felidae, Machairodontinae)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 11, Page 2924-2943, November 2025.
Abstract Megantereon was a widespread saber‐toothed felid from the Pliocene and Pleistocene of the Old World and North America, but its rarity in the fossil record makes it complicated to restore its life appearance. Lack of complete specimens makes it necessary to combine information from fossils of different individuals to reconstruct their facial ...
