Fish Scales: A Multifunctional Biomaterial from Nature
ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.Fish scales demonstrate nature's solution to impact protection through overlapping multilayered architecture. This biological design combines mineralized surfaces with collagen networks to achieve both flexibility and fracture resistance. The structural principles inspire advanced protective materials and biomedical implants, where damage tolerance ...

Subordination of related party claims in insolvency: A suggestive framework for Asian regimes
International Insolvency Review, EarlyView.Abstract Related party loans, due to their inherent nature, warrant a higher threshold for scrutiny when compared to loans extended by unrelated parties. Why were these monies advanced as loans, carrying higher priority in insolvency, rather than being invested as share capital?

FXTAS and the Spectrum of FMR1 Premutation‐Associated Phenotypes in Latin America: A Scoping Review
Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.Abstract Background Fragile X–associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS) is a late‐onset neurodegenerative disorder caused by FMR1 premutation expansions (55–200 CGG repeats). Although well described in populations of predominantly European ancestry, FXTAS remains poorly characterized in Latin America due to limited awareness, restricted access to ...
