How many bromeliads are there? History and future perspectives of species scientific discovery in the pineapple family

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
It remains unclear how many plant species are not yet recorded by science. We illustrated the process by which species of the pineapple family in tropical America have been newly described to science to date, and we estimated how many species may still await scientific discovery in this group.

Natural Products Exhibit Therapeutic Potential in Treating Rheumatoid Arthritis by Targeting the PI3K/Akt Signaling Pathway

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
This review summarizes how natural products, mainly including flavonoids, terpenoids, alkaloids, and polyphenols alleviate RA via PI3K/Akt pathway, regulating inflammation, proliferation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, and osteoclast differentiation. The figure was created by Figdraw (https://www.figdraw.com/#/).

Cross‐Linking Mass Spectrometry of the Antimicrobial Peptides Magainin 2 and PGLa Reveals Heterodimerization in Micellar Medium

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rationale In this study, we applied cross‐linking mass spectrometry (XL‐MS) to characterize the oligomeric states of a PGLa/magainin 2 mixture and gain insight into the heterodimerization previously suggested in the literature. Both peptides have shown a synergistic enhancement of activity when tested in antimicrobial assays; however, the ...

An Enhanced Soft‐Containing Gripper for Pick‐And‐Place of Oyster Products at Extreme Handling Speed

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soft robotic grippers have been developed for high‐speed handling of soft, fragile foods. For example, our previously designed soft‐containing gripper has been implemented on food production lines. However, existing soft robotic grippers remain inadequate for food pick‐and‐place tasks at extreme handling speeds (e.g., > 70 pcs/min).

Repurposing Bird‐Based Acoustic Models for Amphibian Surveys: Strengths and Limitations in Real‐World Deployments

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
In this study, we developed AnuraSearch, an open‐source classifier for 11 Ukrainian amphibian species, by repurposing the avian BirdNET algorithm via transfer learning to process over 18,000 h of autonomous acoustic recordings. Although the model demonstrated high precision and successfully reconstructed detailed seasonal and diel vocal activity ...

Reasoning Together or Clicking Through? Analyzing Patterns of Group Science Talk On and Off Individualized Computers

Science Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this article, I examine group science talk within the classrooms of three urban secondary science teachers who regularly use one‐to‐one computers to mediate their NGSS‐aligned science instruction. I combine methods of framing analysis (Goffman 1974; Tannen 1993) and interaction analysis (Jordan and Henderson 1995) to illustrate differences ...
