open access: yesMuseum Anthropology, Volume 49, Issue 1, Spring 2026.
ABSTRACT This work reflects on the presence of a desacralized Buddha statue in the Museum of Chinese Art and Ethnography, established in Parma, Italy, in 1901 by Xaverian missionaries. The Buddha's hollowed back is a potent trace of the transnational interactions between these Roman Catholic missionaries and folk believers from the Henan region ...

Catalyst‐Free Collagen Filament Crosslinking for Engineering Anisotropic and Mechanically Robust Tissue Scaffolds

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 9, 13 February 2026.
A bioorthogonal rhodamine/PEG crosslinking strategy is introduced to engineer dense collagen hydrogels with high mechanical resilience and cytocompatibility. Integration with wet‐spinning enables the fabrication of uniaxially aligned, cell‐laden collagen filaments that activate mechanotransductive signaling and support functional muscle regeneration in

Carbonate sedimentology: An evolved discipline

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Although admired and examined since antiquity, carbonate sediment and rock research really began with Charles Darwin who, during a discovery phase, studied, documented and interpreted their nature in the mid‐19th century. The modern discipline, however, really began after World War II and evolved in two distinct phases.

Culture, Community, and Development: Unpacking the ‘Socio‐Cultural Milieu Dynamics’ of Solomon Islands and Their Influence on Australia's Aid Localisation

open access: yesPublic Administration and Development, Volume 46, Issue 1, Page 77-92, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Using public ethnography anchored in the post‐development theory and interpretivist epistemological paradigm, this study examines what we term the ‘socio‐cultural milieus dynamics’ (SCMD) of the Solomon Islands (SI) and how these shape meaning, discourse, and practice in ways that influence Australia's aid localisation efforts and aid outcomes.

Is Ferroptosis the Mechanistic Bridge Connecting Iron Dysregulation to Muscle Wasting and Functional Decline in Aging?

open access: yesAging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 2, February 2026.
This work proposes ferroptosis as a mechanistic driver of age‐related muscle dysfunction, whereby iron dyshomeostasis and impaired antioxidant capacity promote lipid peroxidation, and eventually trigger ferroptosis, leading to muscle wasting, and ultimately contributing to weakness and functional decline with aging.

Understandings and critiques of biocultural diversity conservation and future recommendations for conservation actors

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract As biocultural approaches to conservation gain traction (e.g., through international commitments to Indigenous Peoples and local communities) and external conservation actors increasingly seek to engage with on‐the‐ground holders of biocultural diversity, improved understanding is needed of what biocultural diversity means.
