Nature-derived microneedles with metal-polyphenolic networks encapsulation for chronic soft tissue defects repair: Responding and remodeling the regenerative microenvironment by Chengyang Zhu, Zun Fan, Zhijie Cheng, Jun Yin, Lei Qin, Xin Zhao

“…The resultant NMs have excellent mechanical strength and biological adhesiveness, ensuring suture-free but reliable fixation on implanted site. To enhance the intrinsic bioactivities, metal-polyphenolic networks (MPNs) coordinated from copper (Cu) and curcumin (Cur) are designed and encapsulated into NMs. …”

Searching for the best post-land abandonment management to enhance long-term carbon storage in Mediterranean mountain areas by Melani Cortijos-López, Teodoro Lasanta, Erik Cammeraat, Estela Nadal-Romero

“…Laboratory analyses were performed on aggregate stability and soil organic carbon fractionation with regard to three aggregate sizes (< 2 mm, 2–5 mm, > 5 mm) and three density fractions (free labile, occluded, and heavy fraction). The results showed that: 1) SOC content in aggregates < 2 mm (relative to total SOC) increases with shrub clearing and grazing strategy in acid environments; 2) aggregate stability benefits from the implementation of afforestation in acid environments and from all three study strategies in alkaline ones; 3) in acid environments, the percentage of labile fractions (free and occluded) in afforested sites is significantly higher compared with shrubland, while in alkaline environments, recalcitrant SOC is significantly higher in shrub clearing sites. …”
