This review charts the evolution of corneal hydrogels from passive replacements to active and intelligent systems, evaluating natural and synthetic materials while addressing design challenges such as transparency and strength. Advanced applications such as scarless wound healing, three‐dimensional bioprinting, and smart wearables are highlighted to ...

We present a mechanochemical, radical‐mediated hydroselenation of alkenes under ambient conditions. This method modularly generates alkyl selenyl radicals from elemental selenium and alkyl (pseudo)halides, utilizing PhSiH3 and H2O as hydrogen atom donors, with the water likely originating from the air and/or trace water present in the reagents ...

Political Economy of Development and Underdevelopment Re-Visiting Dependence Theory
In this article we have tried to answer to the question ‘why some economies are developed and othereconomies are underdeveloped?’ For this, we have enacted an explanation which is inspired on the ideasof Dependence Theory authors and which is based on ...

Developmental Democracy in Africa: A Review [PDF]
Democracy is one of the virtues we ache for, as many now observe an undemocratic society as a savage society. Richard L. Sklar built up a hypothesis called developmental democracy in which he opines that democracy will essentially prompts the improvement

Peroxidase‐Mimicking Nanozymes for Rapid Detection of Infectious Diseases
Peroxidase‐mimicking nanozymes (PMNs) have emerged as robust and versatile materials for rapid infectious disease diagnostics. This review highlights the rational design and controlled synthesis of PMNs, summarizes key biomarkers relevant to infectious diseases, examines their integration into diverse rapid detection platforms, and highlights ...

Fibrotic scarring persistently challenges urethral reconstruction. This study introduces a conformal, wearable ultrasound bioelectronic system that overcomes this by reprogramming fibroblast fate. The device activates a developmental Wnt–FGF10 axis, driving fibroblasts toward a regenerative FGF10+ phenotype that promotes angiogenesis and matrix ...

Competitive Rent Preservation, Reform Paralysis, and the Persistence of Underdevelopment [PDF]
Initial inequality in endowments and opportunities, together with low average levels of endowments, can create constituencies in a society that combine to paralyze reforms, even though the status quo hurts them collectively.

Using field‐based holo‐omics, we demonstrate that developmental shifts in sorghum leaf metabolomes drive a noncanonical fungal succession from stress tolerators (S) through ruderals (R) to competitors (C). Antifungal metabolites in young leaves select for S strategists with expanded genomes, transient maltose pulses during flowering favor fast‐growing ...
