Migrating baleen whales transport high-latitude nutrients to tropical and subtropical ecosystems

Baleen whales migrate from high latitude feeding grounds to subtropical reproductive winter grounds, translocating limiting nutrients across ecosystems. This study estimates the latitudinal movement of nutrients from carcasses, placentas and urea for four species of baleen whales that exhibit annual migrations.

Dispersible hydrogel force sensors reveal patterns of solid mechanical stress in multicellular spheroid cultures

Understanding how forces orchestrate tissue formation requires technologies to map internal tissue stress at cellular length scales. Here, authors develop ultrasoft sensors that visibly deform under cell-generated stress to capture patterns of internal stress development during multicellular spheroid formation.

Back to the future: targeting the extracellular matrix to treat systemic sclerosis

The autoimmune disease systemic sclerosis is characterized by fibrosis, which is poorly targeted by the use of anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive drugs. In this Review, the authors describe the fibrotic mechanisms underlying SSc and attempts to develop drugs to specifically target the fibrotic extracellular matrix.
