Article Abstract
Biotechnology is a rapidly progressive field, currently transforming agriculture, healthcare, and life sciences. This rapid development comes with serious legal and ethical challenges as well as risks for human security and health. NATO has prioritized biotechnology and human enhancement technologies for defense, focusing on legitimate, defensive applications. This paper highlights four clusters of biomedical technologies with the potential to enhance warfighter performance: These technologies, progressing in civilian sectors, have significant potential to enhance military capabilities in the near future (5-10 years). Oversight and prioritization of human rights are essential to ensure responsible application, maintaining human dignity, bodily integrity, and personal autonomy even in wartime. As military innovation systems worldwide are advancing in strategic biotechnologies, it is critical for NATO countries to maintain synergistic intra-alliance collaboration in this intense field.

Background: Dermal clear cell sarcoma (DCCS) is a rare malignant mesenchymal neoplasm. Owing to the overlaps in its morphological and immunophenotypic profiles with a broad spectrum of tumors exhibiting melanocytic differentiation, it is frequently misdiagnosed as other tumor entities in clinical practice. By systematically analyzing the clinicopathological characteristics, immunophenotypic features, and molecular biological properties of DCCS, this study intends to further enhance pathologists' understanding of this disease and provide a valuable reference for its accurate diagnosis.

Background: Labor shortages in health care pose significant challenges to sustaining high-quality care for people with intellectual disabilities. Social robots show promise in supporting both people with intellectual disabilities and their health care professionals; yet, few are fully developed and embedded in productive care environments. Implementation of such technologies is inherently complex, requiring careful examination of facilitators and barriers influencing sustained use.

In this study, employing a 2D electrodeposition in situ assembly method, a high-performance HS sensor based on a p-n type CuO-CuFeO heterostructure ordered nanowire arrays was successfully fabricated on silicon substrates. Compared to CuO, CuO-CuFeO nanowire arrays exhibits an ideal interfacial barrier structure and higher initial resistance, with a response to 10 ppm of HS at room temperature (20 ± 3 °C) increased by 225 times and a response time reduced by over 2400 s. The sensor demonstrates exceptional sensitivity (LOD = 10 ppb; response = 234.
