Comparative diagnostic imaging in giant African land snails (Achatinidae)
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023 Giant African land snails (GALS) have become increasingly popular, for example, as pets or in kindergartens in Europe, but little is known about their clinically relevant anatomy, diseases, or further details in diagnostic imaging.

Spatial biology in cancer epigenetics
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Spatial epigenomics combines molecular profiling with tissue architecture to reveal how gene regulation is organized within intact tissues. In cancer, these technologies uncover the mechanisms driving tumor heterogeneity and microenvironmental interactions, opening new opportunities for biomarker discovery and precision medicine.

Unraveling the epigenetic code in cancer cell–tumor microenvironment crosstalk
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Epigenetic regulation is a key driver of cancer development and progression. Diverse epigenetic alterations in cancer cells and components of the tumor microenvironment (TME) orchestrate their communication through multiple mechanisms. We discuss how the epigenetic code coordinates bidirectional cancer cell–TME crosstalk to promote cancer progression ...

Sustainable and Multifunctional Natural Macromolecular Polymers for Aqueous Zn Metal Batteries
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.We comprehensively review the structure‐function relationships and regulatory mechanism of natural macromolecular polymers in stabilizing zinc anodes at the microscopic and mesoscopic scales. The interactions among polymer structures, optimization strategies, and regulatory mechanisms are discussed systematically summarizing recent related research ...

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 ...
