Trypanosoma vespertilionis detected but not Spiroplasma ixodetis in Carios vespertilionis (short-legged bat ticks) collected in Sweden

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
From a One Health perspective, ticks play a key role as vectors of infectious agents, whereas bats can act both as hosts for ticks and as reservoirs of the agents, thereby contributing to transmission of infection.

Injectable Hydrogel with Rapid Coagulation, Low Swelling, and High Burst Pressure Tolerance Properties for Long‐Term Management of Bleeding Wound

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An injectable PACmC hydrogel with “rigid island‐flexible chain” architecture is developed, featuring low swelling (49.2% within 7 d), strong wet adhesion (46.5 kPa), and high burst pressure (701 mm Hg), which can achieve rapid hemostasis and long‐term sealing in rabbit and porcine models of hepatic and splenic hemorrhage.

Tick-borne Relapsing Fever and Borrelia hermsii, Los Angeles County, California, USA

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009
The primary cause of tick-borne relapsing fever in western North America is Borrelia hermsii, a rodent-associated spirochete transmitted by the fast-feeding soft tick Ornithodoros hermsi. We describe a patient who had an illness consistent with relapsing

A Soft Mechanoluminescent Skin for High‐Resolution Optical Tactile Sensing in Human–Machine Interaction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A soft mechanoluminescent tactile sensor that converts force directly into light is presented, enabling imaging‐based, wiring‐free touch sensing. By integrating a flexible ML‐skin with CMOS readout, the system achieves high sensitivity, fast response, and high spatial resolution, while maintaining structural simplicity and energy efficiency, offering a

Stiffness‐Activated Stellate Cells Drive Pancreatic Cancer Liver Colonization via GMFG‐TNS4 Signaling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Fibrotic liver stiffness activates hepatic stellate cells through Piezo1‐dependent calcium influx and ER stress, promoting EV‐associated GMFG release. Delivered GMFG engages TNS4 in pancreatic cancer cells, triggering FAK/AKT signaling, adhesion, and fatty acid synthesis.

Revealing the Ion Regulation Effect of Zwitterionic All‐Solid‐State Electrolytes in Lithium Metal Batteries

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates zwitterionic all‐solid‐state electrolytes, demonstrating strong carboxyl‐Li+ interaction that forms “ion‐enrichment pathway”‐like domains and manipulates Li+ deposition. Additionally, surface‐enriched zwitterions generate a dual‐layer SEI with an inner Li2O‐rich and outer LiF‐rich structure. Through ionic flux regulation and SEI

Evaluating Functional Dispersal in a Nest Ectoparasite and Its Eco-Epidemiological Implications

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020
Functional dispersal (between-site movement, with or without subsequent reproduction) is a key trait acting on the ecological and evolutionary trajectories of a species, with potential cascading effects on other members of the local community.

Self‐Adhesive Conductive Elastomers for Gel‐Free Biopotential Recording

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
σPOMaC, a self‐adhesive conductive citrate elastomer incorporating PEDOT:PSS and DBSA, enables gel‐free biopotential electrodes with stable conductivity and intrinsic skin adhesion. The composite exhibits low resistivity (∼ 0.02 Ω·cm), robust electrical performance during repeated use, and reliable on‐body ECG acquisition comparable to Ag/AgCl ...

The impact of the Russia–Ukraine war on stock prices, profits and perceptions in the food supply chain

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract The Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 had profound consequences for the global economy. As both countries are major commodity exporters, the food value chain was also affected. This study investigates the impact of the invasion on stock prices, profitability and sentiments of agribusinesses along the food supply chain by using an ...
