Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

Talocalcaneal coalition: an easily overlooked abnormality - A case report

Tungs’ Medical Journal
Congenital tarsal coalition involves failure of segmentation between two or more tarsal bones. Although coalition can be asymptomatic, foot or ankle pain occasionally occurs, especially in young patients, and is often overlooked at the first presentation.

Rare occurrence of a lateral cunieform-cuboid coalition

Foot & Ankle Surgery: Techniques, Reports & Cases, 2023
Tarsal coalitions are a group of osseous anomalies where there is a bridge between two or more bones that normally does not exist. This bridge often results in decreased or abnormal motion which can lead to pain and deformity over time.

PM10 Impairs CD56dim NK Cell Cytotoxicity via FNBP1 Suppression to Exacerbate Rheumatoid Arthritis: Insights from Multimodal Multi‐Omics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study, through multi‐omics approaches and animal models, revealed that air pollutant PM10 exacerbates the progression of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by suppressing FNBP1 expression and impairing the cytotoxic function of CD56dim NK cells. The “PM10–FNBP1–NK cells” axis provided novel insights into the environmental pathogenesis of RA and suggested ...

Sulfakinin Signaling Sense Circulating Fructose and Suppresses Food Consumption via Insulin‐Like Peptide in Bactrocera Dorsalis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study discovered a new pathway that tells fruit flies when to stop eating. It found that rising blood sugar (fructose) is detected by a sensor called GR43a. This triggers a chain reaction involving the satiety signal sulfakinin and its receptor, ultimately activating a final satiety signal, ILP5.

Terrestrial Cyborg Insects for Real‐Life Applications

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article reviews the development of terrestrial cyborg insects from their emergence in 1997 to mid‐2025, examining three key aspects: locomotion control methods, associated challenges with proposed solutions, and practical applications. Framing these biohybrid systems as insect‐scale mobile robots, the review provides foundational insights for new ...

Estimation and rapid identification of later stages during embryonic development of the oviparous lizard Sceloporus aeneus (Squamata: Phrynosomatidae)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Stages of embryonic development for reptiles have been presented in tables that may include all or part of embryonic development. When oviposition occurs in some lizards, embryos are already in the later stages of development; likewise, the size of the eggs increases as incubation time progresses.
