Summary: A self-organizing structure is crucial for adding functions and simplifying the manufacturing process. Developing methods for spontaneous structure formation is challenging, and the proposed novel patterning method involves destroying the emulsion structure.

Summary: This study evaluated the estrus prediction method focusing on >= 10 mm follicle numbers with functional corpus luteum in lactating Holstein dairy cows. It was found that more than 75% of estrus occurred 10 days after the ovarian examination in cows with one large follicle, while more than 75% of estrus occurred within 9 days of the ovarian examination in cows with two or more large follicles. Therefore, evaluating >= 10 mm follicle numbers could be useful for predicting the estrus expression period in these cows.

Summary: Our simulations suggest that the initial forest age class distribution affects the carbon sinks or sources in managed forest land when preparing FRLs based on harvest ratio and assuming age dynamics. Harvests projected according to the ratio only corresponded to age dynamics in the case of uniform age distribution. This highlights the importance of considering variation in initial states between countries in future LULUCF regulation.

Summary: The study validated a simple, stable, and safe PCR test based on self-collected saliva samples, which serves as a valuable tool for clinical diagnosis and screening at workplaces and schools. Results show high sensitivity of the testing method, which can be conveniently used at home, providing significant assistance in detecting SARS-CoV-2.

Summary: Environmental microplastics are a subject of growing interest due to their prevalence and potential harm to both the environment and human health. However, there are discrepancies between studies on the abundance and impacts of microplastics in nature and those conducted in laboratory settings. This review aims to analyze and address these mismatches in order to advance research in this area.

Summary: Using a Matrigel-collagen-based culture, researchers have successfully replicated mouse embryo development ex vivo, including embryonic growth, axis initiation, and overall structure. The culture system is compatible with light-sheet microscopy, allowing for the study of cellular dynamics. The study revealed the release of increasing tension in the polar trophectoderm during implantation is necessary for its constriction and invagination. The extra-embryonic ectoderm plays a key role in growth, morphogenesis, and patterning of the neighboring epiblast.

Summary: To form and maintain structures with specific functions, multicellular systems use the interplay between biochemical signaling, mechanics, and morphology. This review focuses on mechanochemical feedback loops in cell-cell contact-based Notch signaling, where cell fate decisions and differentiation process involve contact remodeling. It compares different mechanisms for symmetry breaking and pattern refinement, and discusses how patterning outcomes depend on the relationship between biochemical and mechanical timescales. The review also highlights new approaches, such as the study of synthetic circuits, for dissecting and harnessing mechanochemical feedback.
