What Candidates Benefit From Corruption? Opportunities for Corruption and the Prevalence of Candidates With Business Ties

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Which candidates benefit from corruption and favoritism in public procurement? While existing studies show that politically connected firms profit from corruption risks in public procurement, we know less about whether these risks also increase the prevalence of political candidates with ties to business.

Cancer‐associated fibroblast heterogeneity across solid and haematological malignancies: Lessons from colorectal cancer and multiple myeloma

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend CAF origins and plasticity give rise to distinct phenotypes with immunosuppressive functions in colorectal cancer and multiple myeloma. These distinct CAF phenotypes contribute to immunosuppressive tumour microenvironments through ECM remodelling, cytokine signalling and immune regulation.

Electrophysiological properties of the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus motoneurones controlling airway mucus secretion in rats

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Acidosis depolarises parasympathetic respiratory motoneurones in the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (DMV) and increases their firing frequency by reducing TWIK‐2 channel conductance. Acidosis also activates astrocytes, which further enhance neuronal excitability through NMDA receptor‐dependent glutamatergic signalling.

Surface Ligand Engineering in Quantum Dot Photocatalysis: Mechanisms, Design Principles, and Applications

Advanced Chemical Engineering, Volume 1, Issue 2, December 2026.
Surface ligands govern quantum dot photocatalysis through thermodynamic band‐edge tuning, kinetic charge‐transfer regulation, and microenvironmental control. Rational ligand engineering, using short‐chain, inorganic, conjugated, or dual‐ligand systems, enables efficient solar fuel production, selective organic transformations, environmental remediation,

Ultralow‐Thermal‐Threshold CsPbBr3 Quantum Dot Memristor for Thermal‐Aware In‐Memory Computing With Physical Pruning

Advanced Computing, Volume 1, Issue 1, December 2026.
A CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dot thermal‐threshold memristor (TTM) with an ultralow 50°C writing threshold, 105–106 on/off ratio, and a 0.28 V reversible erase is reported. A saliency‐driven smart mapping algorithm allocates high‐importance weights to cold regions and low‐importance weights to hotspots.

Avian Eggshell Evolutionary Adaptations Inform Biomimetic Strategies for Next‑Generation Precision Cancer Theranostics

Advanced Oncology, Volume 1, Issue 1, December 2026.
ABSTRACT The avian eggshell is a sophisticated, multi‐functional biocomposite and, more importantly, an autonomous life‐support system evolved to safeguard embryonic development across dynamic and hostile environments. Discussing eggshell‐inspired biomaterials beyond simple structural imitation, this review translates these evolutionary survival ...

Bringing a Wider Socioecological Lens to the Psychology of Poverty

Social Issues and Policy Review, Volume 20, Issue 1, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Poverty is a persistent social issue that policymakers have turned to psychology for help in addressing. This has spurred an upswing in research on the psychology of poverty over the past 15 years, leading to a maturing evidence base on how the conditions of resource scarcity and other forms of socioeconomic adversity shape decision‐making and

MXenes for Boosting Potassium Ion Storage: Structure‐Property Relationships, Interface Science, Microscopic Mechanisms, and Application Perspectives

Carbon Neutralization, Volume 5, Issue 6, November 2026.
MXene‐based potassium‐ion battery anodes are mapped by linking synthesis, surface chemistry, heterostructure design, and practical evaluation. Pristine MXenes and composites with carbon, oxides, sulfides, selenides, tellurides, and alloying phases are compared, while intercalation, pseudocapacitive, conversion/alloying, built‐in‐field, and trapping ...

Run to the Caves: Frog Refuges From Harsh Environments

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The use of caves by primarily nontroglobiont organisms can be critical when the conditions of surrounding epigean habitats deteriorate as a result of synergic effects of climate changes and degradation of native vegetation cover. Under scenarios of unbalanced temperatures, high solar incidence, low humidity and reduced shelter availability in ...
