Mucin-Based Biomimetic Patches for Dynamic Heart Repair: Auxetic Structures and Translational Challenges - Rishatani Gunasegaran; Rania Hussien Al-Ashwal; Norhana Jusoh; Muhammad Hanif Ramlee; Sadeq M. Al-Hazmy (Cardiovascular Engineering and Technology, 2026)
Purpose This scoping review examines strategies to improve adhesion and integration of epicardial patches within the dynamic and wet cardiac environment. It emphasizes mucin-based bioadhesives and auxetic designs as potential solutions for long-term tissue-conformal myocardial repair. Methods Approximately 150 peer-reviewed articles published between 2010 and 2024 were identified through a structured literature search conducted across PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. The studies cover adhesive biomaterials, structural patch designs, and epicardial tissue repair approaches were screened and thematically synthesized to map current advances, limitations, and translational gaps. Results Commercially available epicardial patches fail to maintain adhesion under cyclic loading and fluid-rich conditions. Among bioadhesives, mucin demonstrates promising wet adhesion, viscoelasticity, and biocompatibility. Nonetheless, its translation is limited by batch-to-batch variability, purification challenges, and potential immunogenicity. Dopamine-, hyaluronic acid-, and alginate-based adhesives provide alternatives but remain constrained by oxidative instability, limitted long-term durability, or inadequate mechanical performance. Structural innovations such as auxetic geometries improve patch flexibility, strain distribution, and conformability compared with multilayered or microneedle-based strategies. However, challenges related to fabrication, sterilization, scalability and potential interference of cardiac anatomy andphysiology require further investigation. Conclusions The synergistic integration of mucin-based adhesives with auxetic designs presents a compelling pathway toward durable, biocompatible, and tissue-conformal cardiac patches. Addressing manufacturing scalability, reproducibility, and immunological safety will be critical to advancing these concepts toward clinical applications.

The Asia region harbors exceptional chondrichthyan (shark, ray, and chimaera) diversity but faces intense fishing pressure. The Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRA) process provides a collaborative, evidence-based framework to identify critical habitats and inform spatial management. We assessed ISRAs across the Bay of Bengal, Southeast Asia, and the Northwest Pacific to characterize their extent, ecological significance, and conservation relevance. We delineated 122 ISRAs spanning ~ 1 million km 2 (~ 3% of the region) across 12 jurisdictions and international waters, encompassing habitats for 121 species (~ 30% of Asia’s chondrichthyans), 76% of which are threatened. Depleted taxa (e.g., giant guitarfishes, Glaucostegidae) were represented, but charismatic megafauna (e.g., Whale Shark Rhincodon typus ) were overrepresented. In contrast, deepwater and freshwater species were underrepresented. Reproductive Areas were the most common ISRA sub-criterion applied (52% of ISRAs), largely in nearshore zones, while areas for range-restricted species were less frequently (18%) identified. Twelve ISRAs overlapped with biodiversity hotspots, including seven in areas of high overall chondrichthyan species richness and five in areas of high range-restricted species richness. Citizen science was the predominant research method used to delineate ISRAs, while fisheries data were underused despite the region’s major fisheries footprint. Geographic coverage was uneven: Indonesia held the most ISRAs (n = 40; 71.7% of ISRA coverage) while eight jurisdictions (e.g., Viet Nam, China, Republic of Korea) lacked ISRAs due to data gaps. Protection shortfalls are stark: MPAs cover

A unified framework for 3D building surface reconstruction from fused LiDAR and photogrammetric data - Wahyu Marta Mutiarasari; Muhammad Zulkarnain Abd Rahman; Alias Abdul Rahman; Gurcan Buyuksalih (Applied Geomatics, 2026)
Reliable three-dimensional (3D) building surface reconstruction depends on accurate and comprehensive spatial data; however, acquiring such data remains challenging, particularly for point clouds. Data collected using terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based LiDAR provide detailed geometric information but are often affected by occlusions, limited viewpoints, and sensor constraints, resulting in incomplete datasets. Although data fusion using the iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm and Laplacian-based enhancement can mitigate these limitations, existing research typically treats fusion and surface reconstruction as separate processes, often applying reconstruction directly to fused data without prior quality assessment. This limits the generation of complete and geometrically consistent 3D building models from heterogeneous datasets. To address this gap, this study proposes a unified framework for 3D building surface reconstruction from fused point clouds derived from TLS, UAV LiDAR, and photogrammetric sources. The workflow applies ICP for alignment, Laplacian-based enhancement for gap reduction, and quantitative evaluation of the enhanced point cloud prior to reconstruction using the Marching Cubes algorithm. The results show an average completeness of 86.9%, with the standard deviation improving from 0.173 m to 0.157 m (roof) and from 0.238 m to 0.191 m (wall). The reconstructed model satisfies level of detail 2 (LoD2) requirements. Although certain architectural features, such as windows and pillars, are preserved, they are not yet semantically structured, indicating potential for extension toward higher LoDs (e.g., LoD3). Overall, the framework highlights the importance of pre-reconstruction enhancement and evaluation and demonstrates its potential for supporting more complete and geometrically consistent 3D building modelling.

D. C. Priyadarshani; M. V. S. S. Mudugama; et al. (New Zealand Journal of Botany, 2026)
Fungal pathogens pose a serious threat to the cultivation of morels ( Morchella spp.), impacting both yield and quality and, consequently, the economic viability of morel farming. This review explores the diverse range of fungal pathogens affecting morels, including Albomorchellophila morchellae , Cladobotryum protrusum , Clonostachys aureofulvella , Clonostachys rosea , Cylindrodendrum alicantinum , Diploöspora longispora , Fusarium equiseti , Lecanicillium aphanocladii , Luteonectria nematophila , Pseudodiploöspora longispora , Purpureocillium lilacinum , and Trichothecium roseum , elucidating their life cycles and the damage they cause. The review also highlights existing management strategies, encompassing cultural practices, biological control, chemical control, and the cultivation of resistant varieties. Furthermore, it explores recent advancements in mycology, plant pathology, and biotechnology that offer promising avenues for improved disease management. These include improved diagnostics, precision agriculture, predictive modeling, genome editing, natural biocontrol agents, and organic fungicides. The review concludes with insights into future research directions aimed at combining and refining these strategies to ensure sustainable, profitable morel cultivation. While challenges such as technical requirements, ethical considerations, and acceptance by farmers and consumers remain, the potential benefits to the industry and global food security make this a pressing and rewarding field of study.

A New Species of Leptobacillium and Additional Records of Simplicillium and Leptobacillium from Sabah, Malaysia - Muhammad Shahbaz; Frederik C. De Wint; Jeremiah Sia Yiao Rong; Yap Jing Wei; Qian‐Qun Koid; Tom Fayle; Yee Shin Tan; Sumaiyah Abdullah; Kishneth Palaniveloo; Jaya Seelan Sathiya Seelan (New Zealand Journal of Botany, 2026)
Simplicillium and Leptobacillium are entomopathogenic fungal genera frequently associated with arthropods in tropical ecosystems and considered promising candidates for biological pest control. However, the diversity of these genera in tropical regions, particularly in Malaysia, has not been systematically investigated in the context of their taxonomy and phylogenetic relationships. This study aimed to investigate the taxonomic diversity and phylogenetic relationship of Simplicillium and Leptobacillium using integrated morphological and molecular analyses. During a survey of entomopathogenic fungi conducted in Malaysia from 2022–2023, parasitized insects were collected, including spiders and wasps infected by entomopathogenic fungi. Phylogenetic analyses were performed using concatenated datasets of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and translation elongation factor 1‐alpha ( TEF1‐α ) gene to construct phylogenetic trees. The study identified one novel species, Leptobacillium geminatum sp. nov., isolated from a spider. In addition, five species are reported here as new records for Malaysia: S. formicae , L. leptobactrum. symbioticum, and L. coffeanum isolated from spiders and S. puwenense , isolated from a wasp. Morphological characteristics together with molecular phylogenetic evidence supported the taxonomic placement of these taxa. These findings represent the first comprehensive documentation of Simplicillium and Leptobacillium species from Malaysia, significantly expanding the known diversity and geographical distribution of these entomopathogenic fungi in Southeast Asia.

Leveraging Extremophyte Adaptations as a Roadmap for Crop Design for Arid Lands - Mohsin Tanveer; Lei Wang; Hamza Tariq; Muhammad Talha Ramzan; Alisdair R. Fernie; Jaume Flexas; Sergey Shabala; Josep Peñuelas (Global Change Biology, 2026)
Anthropogenic climate change is driving a convergence of rapid soil aridification and secondary salinization that threatens to degrade over half of the world's arable land. As conventional glycophytic crops reach their physiological limits, global food security depends on decoding the evolutionary adaptations of extremophytes. This review synthesizes the functional traits and ecosystem‐level impacts of extremophytes, the native flora of these marginal environments, and evaluates their potential as a biophysical buffer against land degradation. Here, we identify two cornerstone strategies that allow these plants to thrive where others fail: (i) the precise spatiotemporal orchestration of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as critical signaling molecules for developmental plasticity; and (ii) the active recruitment of stress‐protective microbiomes via targeted exudation, effectively transforming barren soil into a functional ecosystem. We argue that integrating extremophytes into diversified agroecosystems, through intercropping, phytoremediation rotations, and circular bioeconomy models, offers quantifiable results to enhance ecosystem multifunctionality and sustainably intensify production on degrading lands. By bridging profound mechanistic discovery with ecological engineering, this perspective provides an actionable plan for translating extremophyte biology into crops capable of withstanding a drier future.

Sustainable Laccase Production by Anoxybacteroides rupiense UE27 Using Desmostachya bipinnata Biomass: Optimisation and Application in Textile Effluent Treatment - Haniah Saeed; Bushra Rehman; Uroosa Ejaz; Maria Muhammad Ashraf; Amal Siraj; Areesha Mustafa; Muhammad Sohail (Environmental Microbiology, 2026)
Laccase has been widely reported for the detoxification of industrial effluents, yet large‐scale applications require cost‐effective production. This study utilised an innovative approach by employing biomass from the halophyte Desmostachya bipinnata, which has not been previously reported for microbial enzyme production. A newly discovered bacterial species, Anoxybacteroides rupiense, was used for laccase production. Initially, the factors impacting laccase production by the thermophilic strain of A. rupiense UE27 (Genome Project JBHLFH010000000.1) were screened for their significant effects using the Plackett–Burman design. Consequently, Response Surface methodology was adopted to optimise the significant factors, resulting in a maximum laccase yield of 51.69 U L −1 at pH 6.39 and in presence of 0.59 mM CuSO 4 , representing a 4.29‐fold increase compared to the unoptimised conditions. AFM revealed comminution in the plant biomass and FTIR analysis confirmed laccase‐mediated lignin degradation in D. bipinnata biomass, evidenced by shifts in aromatic CC (1597–1650 cm −1 ), CH methyl (2850–2918 cm −1 ) and phenolic OH (3300–3400 cm −1 ) regions. Moreover, growth of A. rupiense UE27 in the presence of textile effluent resulted in 70.6% decolourisation with the subsequent laccase production. Hence, this study presents a sustainable and innovative approach for developing wild biomass‐based processes for the cost‐effective production of laccase by thermophilic bacteria.

Multi‐Stressor Responses in Marine Bivalves: Integrating Climate Change, Pollutants, and Microbiome Shifts for Aquaculture Resilience - Faisal Ahmad Lodhi; Fahim Ullah Khan; Aabid Ullah Khan; Jae‐Seong Lee; Muhammad Abbas; Hanafiah Fazhan; Khor Waiho; Menghong Hu; Youji Wang (Reviews in Aquaculture, 2026)
Marine bivalves play pivotal ecological and economic roles but are increasingly challenged by multiple environmental stressors. Although there is extensive research on the effects of individual stressors, a comprehensive review is needed to synthesize current evidence and clarify how multiple interacting stressors collectively affect the physiology and resilience of marine bivalves. This review integrates evidence from 2010 to 2025, encompassing 178 peer‐reviewed studies emphasizing the combined and interactive impacts of climate change drivers (warming, hypoxia, salinity, and ocean acidification), pollutants (heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants, endocrine‐disrupting chemicals, antibiotics, nanoparticles, microplastics), and microbiome shifts on future aquaculture resilience. Literature was systematically retrieved from Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar in accordance with PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Bibliometric mapping (VOSviewer 1.6.20) revealed a rapid growth in research after 2018, characterized by studies on Mytilus , Crassostrea , and Ruditapes . A systematic evaluation of recent evidence was conducted, combining data from physiological, molecular, and microbial studies, with particular attention to implications for aquaculture. The analysis reveals that stressors rarely act alone. Instead, their cumulative and interactive effects cause oxidative stress, disrupted energy allocation, destabilized host‐microbe relationships, lowered tolerance thresholds, and other eco‐physiological consequences. These results highlight the vulnerability of bivalve populations to rapid coastal urbanization, declining water quality, and sediment contamination. The review concludes that resilience can be enhanced through selective breeding for stress‐tolerant genotypes, integrated monitoring of pollutants and microbial indicators, and multi‐omics approaches to guide adaptive aquaculture management.

Accumulation of microplastics in mangrove ecosystem: source, properties, and impacts for conservation - Audrey Primus; Tony Hadibarata; Muhammad Noor Hazwan Jusoh (Environmental Sustainability, 2026)
Mangroves, also called blue carbon ecosystems, are crucial as carbon sinks and in climate change mitigation. However, these ecosystems become vulnerable due to plastic pollution, particularly microplastics. A synthesis of studies across Asia, South America, and North America demonstrates that the microplastic contamination in surface waters and sediments is widespread. Fibres and fragments originating from polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) are prevalent globally, indicating inputs from textile, fishing, and packaging. Seasonal and spatial changes demonstrate greater loads during pre-monsoon periods and in downstream estuaries. The depth-profile analyses indicate that microplastics are buried in mangrove sediment on a long-term basis, supporting their role as long-term sinks. Microplastics have also been found in mangrove species, including fish, crabs, and bivalves, raising concerns about trophic transfer and food security. The accumulation of microplastics is emerging as a factor connected to changes in microbial communities and reduced carbon sequestration potential. Established protocols and policy integration based on mangroves are required to enhance the conservation policies and ensure the ecosystem services.

Wright (Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2026)
Regularly updating repositories of air pollution impacts on health is essential for evidence-based policies, interventions, and progress monitoring. However, this is often time-consuming and labour-intensive. Automation can ensure up-to-date evidence; reduce retrieval, screening time, and costs; and make information accessible to non-academic stakeholders. This study investigated whether a machine learning approach can perform any stages of a traditional scoping review on the health impacts, policies, and interventions related to air pollution due to domestic waste burning. A traditional approach was conducted in parallel with machine learning methods enabling a comparison of the efficiency and quality of the partially automated approach against the manual review. Findings from the two approaches were compared and the final set of included articles were considered for (1) reported impacts of waste burning on health outcomes and (2) recommendations on solutions and interventions to prevent/reduce adverse effects on health from waste burning. We found a range of health impacts associated with waste burning, including low birth weight, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, adverse respiratory outcomes like asthma and wheeze, cancer risk, and mortality. Few studies proposed solutions or evaluated the effectiveness of interventions. The ML approach showed a tendency towards false positives, which are preferable to false negatives (where relevant papers were excluded). Results showed that the model can conduct initial searches and decisions for the review. However, the articles included in the model should be screened manually for final acceptance. Therefore, we propose a hybrid approach be used until the automated model can be further refined.

An attempt at underwater image lightweight super-resolution using transformer and frequency-domain learning - Haoran Wu; Haitao Wang; Yifan Zhang; Muhammad Yasir Faheem; Xinghua Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2026)
Lightweight image Super-resolution (SR) is a computer vision technology that aims to recover high-quality image details from low-resolution images with limited computing costs. While Transformer-based SR models have made remarkable advancements, their balanced edge-end deployment and reconstruction quality have been notably hindered by complex underwater imaging conditions and the scarcity of publicly available high-quality datasets. To address these issues, we propose a Frequency-domain Learning Transformer (FLT) for underwater images SR, which leverages complementary information from spatial and frequency domains to enable fine-grained detail reconstruction while reducing storage and computing costs. Specifically, FLT comprises Residual Dual-domain Joint Learning Transformer Blocks (RDTBs). Each RDTB captures low-frequency structures via the spatial-domain branch and high-frequency textures via the frequency-domain branch, thereby enhancing fine-grained details of lightweight SR. Furthermore, a Multi-scale FeedForward Neural (Ms-FFN) network is incorporated into each RDTB as an auxiliary detail enhancement module, which improves the visual fidelity of reconstructed images through multi-scale feature aggregation. We perform visual and quantitative comparisons, ablation studies, and model analyses against state-of-the-art methods on both the public UFO-120 dataset and the KLSG-II dataset. Experimental results demonstrate that FLT achieves performance comparable to or exceeding state-of-the-art SR models, while having significantly reduced by about 50% to 60% parameters and drastically reduced computational cost. This unique balance between reconstruction quality and efficiency underscores FLT’s superiority for lightweight underwater SR, providing a promising solution for resource-constrained underwater imaging applications.
