Abstract Plants’ transpiration, driven by solar energy to flow water and ions, provides an inspiring blueprint for self-powered systems that will revolutionize our interaction with environment and sustain human life. However, mimicking plant transpiration and osmosis in artificial materials remains a major challenge. Here, we present a wearable solar fluidic system that harnesses human sweat to enable self-sufficient freshwater production, energy supply, and information exchange.

Abstract Global shark biodiversity is in decline, with numerous species facing extinction because of anthropogenic influence. Loss of species richness is expected to diminish trait diversity, encompassing ecological roles and physiological adaptations. We investigate whether the extinction of threatened species, as classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, drives morphological and ecological homogenization within Carcharhinus, a speciose genus of requiem sharks.

Abstract For preclinical studies, the standard practice for evaluating lung injury usually involves an assessment of pulmonary histopathology by a certified pathologist. This is typically accomplished by light microscopy using a semiquantitative four-point scale. In contrast, automated image analysis software allows a more quantitative assessment, though inherent limitations with such automated programs can produce misleading conclusions.
