Wearable Bioelectronics for Home‐Based Monitoring and Treatment of Muscle Atrophy
Advanced Science, EarlyView.As an inevitable disease, muscle atrophy has received more attention. Because the factors that induce this disease are diverse, achieving a complete cure is still impossible. Wearable bioelectronics provides a more comfortable, low‐cost, and efficient way of home care for the monitoring and treatment of muscle atrophy. Therefore, this review summarizes

The Chemistry and Biology of the Tetrodotoxin Natural Product Family
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.Tetrodotoxin is best known as the poison of the pufferfish, which is a delicacy in Japanese cuisine. Its toxicity arises from the selective blockage of NaV channels, which is depicted for the NaV1.7 pore, highlighting the DEKA motif, which permeates sodium ions.

Who was the real sabertooth predator: Thylacosmilus or Thylacoleo?
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Sabertoothed mammalian predators, all now extinct, were almost exclusively feloid carnivorans (Eutheria, Placentalia): here a couple of extinct metatherian predators are considered in comparison with the placental sabertooths. Thylacosmilus (the “marsupial sabertooth”) and Thylacoleo (the “marsupial lion”) were both relatively large (puma ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Megantereon was a widespread saber‐toothed felid from the Pliocene and Pleistocene of the Old World and North America, but its rarity in the fossil record makes it complicated to restore its life appearance. Lack of complete specimens makes it necessary to combine information from fossils of different individuals to reconstruct their facial ...

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.The authors present a new technique for 3D culture of mammalian cells with the support of a microfiber‐based network of fibronectin (FN)‐functionalized recombinant silk. This feasible 2‐step method results in highly viable free‐floating 3D cultures with tissue‐mimicking morphology.
