Evidence for a trade‐off between growth rate and xylem embolism resistance in 22 Eucalyptus species

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Examples of cross‐sectional images of branchlets at 4× and 40×. Summary Within the growth–survival trade‐off framework, embolism resistance is considered a contributor to survival, yet whether greater embolism resistance inherently limits growth remains unclear.

The Painterly Materiality of Clouds in Antony and Cleopatra and Hamlet

Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines the cloud‐gazing scenes in Antony and Cleopatra and Hamlet through the lens of early modern artistic theory and material practices, particularly the art of limning. Building upon existing philosophical and poetic interpretations of Shakespearean clouds as metaphors for ephemerality and memory, the essay argues that the ...

Effects of chemical myosin II cross‐bridge inhibitors on eccentric force production in skinned muscle fibres

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Eccentric muscle contractions are essential for locomotion and daily activities. Force during these contractions depends on both cross‐bridge (XB) and non‐cross‐bridge (non‐XB) elements, including titin, with contributions varying by fibre type and contraction velocity.

Computational analysis to assess hemodynamic forces in descending thoracic aortic aneurysms

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Left: Pre‐processing. First, we perform the segmentation of the Computer Tomography angiorgraphy (angio‐CT) scans of a healthy patient, obtaining the surface of a healthy thoracic aorta with a Type III aortic arch. Then, we build nine ideal configurations with Descending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm (DTAA), varying the aortic arch ...

Elucidating the cellular determinants of the end‐systolic pressure‐volume relationship of the heart via computational modelling

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Using a multiscale computational model of left ventricular electromechanics, we investigated how sarcomere dynamics influence the end‐systolic pressure‐volume (ESPV) relationship in ejecting beats compared to isovolumetric beats.

Metabolite‐sensitive cross‐bridge models of human atria reveal the impact of diabetes on muscle mechanoenergetics

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend In this study, we used mathematical modelling to explore the effect of diabetes on muscle mechanoenergetics. Our parameterisation of cross‐bridge models using data from non‐diabetic and diabetic human atrial tissues revealed lower values for cross‐bridge stiffness, detachment rates, attachment rates and lower ATP sensitivity in ...

Contrast Agents for Enhanced Bioimaging: A Comprehensive Review

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 13, 14 July 2026.
Contrast agents, especially those that are nanoparticle‐based, are revolutionizing bioimaging by enabling highly sensitive, specific, and early‐stage diagnosis of diseases like cancer, using clinical imaging modalities such as CT, MRI, PET, and SPECT.
