Article Abstract
This paper examines the drivers of distribution of pollution-intensive enterprises (PIEs) at the intraurban level that are less studied. Employing the complete spatial database of PIEs obtained from the National Economic Census of 2004, 2008, and 2013, the paper analyses the spatial restructuring of PIEs within Foshan, China, a typical manufacturing city in transition. We find that the changing role of environmental regulation induced by the environmental policy regime transformation has resulted in the siting strategy shift of PIEs, and both the 'Pollution Haven Hypothesis' and the 'Porter Hypothesis' have been overly simplified in the research conducted at the regional or global level. Based on the Foshan case, we further conceptualize the pattern of spatial restructuring of PIEs that would help to understand the fast green economy transition taking place in Chinese cities, followed by some policy and research implications.

Healthspan-lifespan gap differs in magnitude and disease contribution across world regions.

Background: Longevity gains have not been matched by equivalent advances in healthy longevity, giving rise to the healthspan-lifespan gap. This study maps, by world region, the healthspan-lifespan gap; identifies gap-associated demographic, economic, and health indicators; and deciphers disease burden patterns contributing to gap profiles.
Methods: World Health Organization (WHO) Global Health Observatory, United Nations World Population Prospects and Global Health Expenditure Database were interrogated.
CAF-Driven Mechanotransduction via Collagen Remodeling Accelerates Tumor Cell Cycle Progression.

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) restructure collagen hydrogels via actomyosin-driven fibril bundling and crosslinking, increasing polymer density to generate mechanical stress that accelerates tumor proliferation. Conventional hydrogel models lack spatial heterogeneity, thus obscuring how localized stiffness gradients regulate cell cycle progression. To address this, we developed a collagen hydrogel-based microtissue platform integrated with programmable microstrings (single/double tethering), enabling real-time quantification of gel densification mechanics and force transmission efficiency.

As a world-class urban agglomeration, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) has experienced substantial land-cover restructuring driven by urbanization, necessitating high temporal resolution monitoring to capture dynamic surface processes. However, traditional land-cover products cannot capture intra-annual dynamics effectively due to their limited update cycles. Therefore, this study generates a publicly accessible dynamic land-cover dataset for the GBA spanning 2000-2022, with a 30-meter spatial resolution and a 15-day temporal resolution.

We analysed fossil mammal assemblages from over 350 Late Pleistocene and Holocene sites worldwide to test whether human activities, such as agriculture, domestication and intensified land use, restructured global patterns of mammal co-occurrence. Using presence-absence data, we contrasted a novel iterative 'chase clustering' method, which is compositionally driven, against a traditional spatially constrained Ward's clustering approach. Both methods recovered continental-scale groupings in the Pleistocene, consistent with known biogeographic boundaries.

Background: Musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) is a non-invasive and non-intrusive method for examining muscles and bones. Therefore, MSUS image analysis plays a crucial role in the assessment and early detection of musculoskeletal disorders However, due to the complexity of noise in MSUS images, analyzing and interpreting these images is a tedious and time-consuming process. Currently, ultrasound devices still rely on manual methods to analyze structural parameters such as muscle thickness, penniform angle, and fascicle length.
