Implantable drug delivery system: Frontiers of medicine‐engineering interdisciplinary

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
This review systematically summarizes the driving mechanisms of implantable on‐demand drug delivery systems (IDDS), including endogenous, exogenous, and closed‐loop strategies. It highlights the pivotal roles of flexible electronics and miniaturization in enhancing the tissue conformity and spatial adaptability.

Short-term corneal changes with gas-permeable contact lens wear in keratoconus subjects: A comparison of two fitting approaches

open access: yesJournal of Optometry, 2015
Purpose: To evaluate changes in anterior corneal topography and higher-order aberrations (HOA) after 14-days of rigid gas-permeable (RGP) contact lens (CL) wear in keratoconus subjects comparing two different fitting approaches.

Tracking Dehydration Reactions and Fossil Fluid Flux in Shear Zones Using Garnet Microstructures

open access: yesJournal of Metamorphic Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Shear zones act as preferential fluid pathways during prograde and retrograde stages of metamorphism. Nonetheless, we still have limited knowledge of the drainage and permeability of natural settings. The preserved signature of fluid in exhumed rocks provides insights into fluid flow during burial and exhumation.

The Role of Chemistry Across Disciplines From Humanities to Life Sciences in Understanding Complexity and Emergence

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 17, 20 April 2026.
This study explores the origins of life by linking prebiotic chemistry, the emergence of information‐carrying molecules such as RNA and proteins, and philosophical questions about consciousness. The study emphasizes the role of molecular evolution in the Central Dogma and provides insights into the chemical origins of biology and the basis of life's ...
