Extreme Dominance of Coxiella-like Endosymbionts Reveals a Highly Simplified Microbiota in Argas persicus from Mexico

Arthropoda
Ticks of the family Argasidae are nidicolous ectoparasites of considerable ecological and veterinary importance because of their role as reservoirs and vectors of microorganisms.

Bricks, knots, and bodies: Material encounters and the affective making of masculinity

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper examines how creative research methods do not just capture boys' experiences of masculinity, but actively materialise them. Drawing on two arts‐based activities used in school‐based fieldwork (a mannequin‐based exercise with one participant and a Lego‐building workshop with a small peer group), the paper analyses how materials ...

Neurovascular coupling in bone regeneration: Mechanisms, advanced biomaterials and challenges

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This figure illustrates various material strategies for neurovascularized bone regeneration, including electroactive scaffolds, ion‐loaded materials, drug delivery systems, surface modifications, cells/cell products, growth factors, and peptides. These approaches aim to synergistically promote the regeneration of neural, vascular, and bone tissues ...

Substrate stiffness regulates cell fate and its applications in the repair of motor system: From two dimensions to three dimensions

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Substrate stiffness with different dimensions (2D and 3D) exerts a regulatory role in cellular behaviors, thereby governing cell fate decisions. Biomaterials with tunable stiffness exhibit substantial functional potential for the repair and regeneration of the motor system.

A list of the 70 species of Australian ticks; diagnostic guides to and species accounts of Ixodes holocyclus (paralysis tick), Ixodes cornuatus (southern paralysis tick) and Rhipicephalus australis (Australian cattle tick); and consideration of the place

, 2014
Seventy species of ticks are known from Australia: 14 soft ticks (family Argasidae) and 56 hard ticks (family Ixodidae). Sixteen of the 70 ticks in Australia may feed on humans and domestic animals (Barker and Walker 2014).

Nanotopographical cues mechanically regulate the secretion and osteoinductive potential of MSC‐derived exosomes for bone regeneration

BMEMat, EarlyView.
A defined 700 nm low‐density nanotopographical interface mechanically primes MSCs through the integrin β1–focal adhesion–Akt–Rab27a‐dependent pathway, enhancing exosome secretion and osteoinductive potency. Enrichment of miR‐548d‐5p in these exosomes promotes osteogenic differentiation and bone regeneration, establishing nanotopography‐guided MSC ...

Investigating Associations Between Media Sentiment Surrounding Climate Change Engagement (SDG 13) and Performance Measures: A Study of FTSE 100 Listed Firms

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines whether media coverage of climate change action (SDG 13) by FTSE 100 firms is associated with business performance in the following year. Drawing on 406,052 news articles published between 2013 and 2022, the study adopts a novel bibliometric keyword‐extraction approach to identify the valence of SDG 13‐related coverage of ...

External Acoustic Meatus Approach for Ultrasonographic Evaluation of the Temporomandibular Joint: An Anatomical Validation and Proof‐of‐Concept Study

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) represent a public health problem, affecting 31% of adults and the elderly and 11% of children and adolescents. Interest is growing in using ultrasound to evaluate the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). However, researchers need to standardize a reliable method.
