Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study presents a magneto‐mechanical strategy that incorporates FP@MSCs into an aligned PCL/GelMA nerve guidance conduit. Magnetic stimulation increases membrane tension in FP@MSCs, triggering cytoskeletal remodeling, Schwann cell‐like differentiation, and TIMP1 secretion. TIMP1 activates ITGB1/CD63–FAK signaling in NE‐4C cells, increasing membrane

We examined the effects of three kinds of seed dispersal on mean fitness in the ant-dispersed perennial herb Calathea ovandensis (Marantaceae): (1) local dispersal to safe sites, (2) longdistance dispersal, and (3) dispersal through time, i.e., dormancy.

Tipping Points in Seed Dispersal Mutualism Driven by Environmental Stochasticity [PDF]
The mechanism of seed dispersal mutualism is fundamental to understanding vegetation diversity and its conservation. In this study, we propose a stochastic model that extends the classical framework of seed dispersal mutualism to explore the effects of ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Nitride MXenes remain constrained by a persistent gap between computational prediction and experimental realization. This Review identifies the thermodynamic, kinetic, and chemical barriers limiting their synthesis, critically evaluates emerging fabrication routes, and proposes a multidimensional computational‐experimental framework to accelerate the ...

The Scientific World Journal, 2014 Seed dispersal and germination were examined for 70 species from the cold Gurbantunggut Desert in northwest China. Mean and range (3 orders of magnitude) of seed mass were smaller and narrower than those in other floras (5–8 orders of magnitude), which ...

Structure‐Property Relationships in Catecholamine Coatings for Broad Surface Functionalization
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Inspired by mussel adhesive proteins (MAPs), six catecholamine molecules with different molecular structure were systematically characterized and compared based on their ability to form homogeneous, reactive coatings. Highlighting candidates capable of balancing coating properties of interest, their successful use as primer layers for organic and ...

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2010 The relative contributions of primary and secondary seed dispersal to plant demography have received little investigation. Evidence on these seed dispersal types, on seed fate and seedling recruitment of the tropical rain forest tree Dipteryx oleifera ...

Full‐Field Damage Monitoring in Architected Lattices Using In situ Electrical Impedance Tomography
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.In situ electrical impedance tomography (EIT) turns 3D‐printed, CNT‐infused architected lattices into full‐field damage‐imaging systems. Tunable Voronoi‐based geometries act as active sensing architectures, enabling conductivity maps to detect early‐stage damage and localise sequential ligament fracture before catastrophic failure.
