A Comprehensive Review of Waste‐Derived Materials for Solar Still Performance Enhancement
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Solar desalination reduces energy use and produces freshwater sustainably, but its productivity is limited and cannot meet rising demand. Thus, solar desalination system improvements are sought to boost water productivity. Waste materials are abundantly available and burden the environment, making them low‐cost enhancers for solar desalination

Diet of schistosome vectors influences infection outcomes
EcosphereResource availability can alter infection outcomes through its impact on host immunity and on parasite reproduction. On one hand, enhanced nutrition could favor immunity, limiting the parasite, and on the other hand, it could favor establishment and ...

Dynamic Current Routing in Conductive Liquid Crystal Elastomers for Complex Deformation Actuators
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.This work introduces a novel actuation control strategy in which electrical stimulation generates localized Joule heating in conductive liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) surfaces, enabling complex 3D deformations from a single homogeneous surface without preprogramming.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A targeted metabologenomic strategy integrating genomic and metabolomic hallmarks enabled the discovery of two new thioamides, thiogochangamides A and B, from bacteria. Their absolute configurations, previously unresolved within the thioviridamide family, were fully assigned through various chemical derivatizations and computational analysis ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.We delineate a TGFβ1/SMAD/lnc‐APUE/E‐cadherin axis wherein TGFβ1 signaling activates lnc‐APUE; lnc‐APUE subsequently downregulates E‐cadherin expression via Alu element‐driven STAU1‐mediated decay of CDH1 mRNA, thereby promoting tumor metastasis. Our findings reveal a novel regulatory function for lnc‐APUE within the SMD pathway, elucidate a distinct ...

Cellular Identity Crisis: RD3 Loss Fuels Plasticity and Immune Silence in Progressive Neuroblastoma
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Researchers discovered that therapy‐induced loss of RD3 protein in neuroblastoma triggers a dangerous shift: cancer cells become more stem‐like, invasive, and resistant to treatment while evading immune detection. RD3 loss suppresses antigen presentation and boosts immune checkpoints, creating an immune‐silent environment.
