In revision surgery of the hip, reconstruction of the acetabulum often constitutes the most complex procedure. There is frequently a considerable loss of bone substance, and correct repositioning of the rotation center of the femoral head is required. Based on surgical experience supported by clinical results the authors affirm that both of these objectives may be achieved when the OCTOPUS socket system is used. This implant, with anchoring to the iliac bone and the use of bone transplants, allows for the reconstruction of the original anatomy of the cotyle.

Prehensile arms are among the most remarkable features of the octopus, but little is known about the neural circuitry controlling arm movements. Here, we report on the cellular and molecular organization of the arm nervous system, focusing on its massive axial nerve cords (ANCs). We found that the ANC is segmented.

Soft actuators hold great promise for applications in biomimetic robots, artificial muscles, and drug delivery systems due to their adaptability in diverse environments. A critical aspect of designing thermally responsive soft actuators is to achieve spatially programmable actuation under a global thermal stimulus. Different local actuation behaviors can be encoded in one actuator to enable complex morphing structures for different tasks.

Article Synopsis
- Nitric oxide is recognized as a key neurotransmitter in the olfactory and chemoreception systems of both invertebrates and vertebrates, indicating a long-evolved sensory detection mechanism.
- Research specifically highlights the role of nitric oxide in molluscs, particularly octopuses, affecting their sensory integration and motor responses.
- The study provides evidence of nitric oxide synthase present in neurons and fibers in Octopus maya, showing its anatomical localization in brain regions related to chemosensory processing.

Article Synopsis
- The study presents the cryo-electron microscopy structure of the PML dimer, revealing key details about its composition and the significant folding events that facilitate dimerization.
- Researchers identified a novel "octopus-like" mechanism for NB assembly, where helices from different PML dimers interact in an anti-parallel manner to form a larger membrane-less organelle.
High energetic cost of color change in octopuses.

For many animals, color change is a critical adaptive mechanism believed to carry a substantial energetic cost. Yet, no study to date has directly measured the energy expenditure associated with this process. We examined the metabolic cost of color change in octopuses by measuring oxygen consumption in samples of excised octopus skin during periods of chromatophore expansion and contraction and then modeled metabolic demand over the whole octopus as a function of octopus mass.
