A Short Review of Strategies for Augmenting Organism Recruitment on Coastal Defense Structures by Almog Ben-Natan, Nadav Shashar

“…Effective methods include augmenting surface rugosity through strategic perforations, integrating artificial panels for increased complexity, implementing soft (naturally based) engineering solutions such as geotextiles, replacing industrial concrete mixtures for CDS construction with “green concrete” and ecologically friendly mixtures, and using alternative, eco-friendly units in CDS erections. In this mini review, we suggest that by integrating sustainable practices into coastal development, we can significantly mitigate the ecological damage caused by traditional CDSs and promote more harmonious relationships between human construction and the marine environment. …”

PEGDA-based HistoBrick for increasing throughput of cryosectioning and immunohistochemistry in organoid and small tissue studies by Emilie Vuille-dit-Bille, Larissa Utz, Fiona E. Müllner, Valeria J. Arteaga-Moreta, Yanyan Hou, Stefan E. Spirig, Diane Ledroit-Paic, Sarah Heub, Jonas Goldowsky, Gilles Weder, Magdalena Renner
