The advent of self-propelled micro/nanomotors represents a paradigm shift in the field of environmental remediation, offering a significant enhancement in the efficiency of conventional operations through the exploitation of the material phenomenon of active motion. Despite the considerable promise of micro/nanomotors for applications in environmental remediation, there has been a paucity of reviews that have focused on this area. This review identifies the current opportunities and challenges in utilizing micro/nanomotors to enhance contaminant degradation and removal, accelerate bacterial death, or enable dynamic environmental monitoring.

Recent advancements in pluripotent stem cell and synthetic tissue technology have brought significant breakthroughs in studying early embryonic development, particularly within the first trimester of development in humans. However, during fetal stage development, investigating further biological events represents a major challenge, partly due to the evolving complexity and continued interaction across multiple organ systems. To bridge this gap, we propose an "in toto" biological framework that leverages a triad of technologies: synthetic tissues, intravital microscopy, and computer vision to capture in vivo cellular morphodynamics, conceptualized as single-cell choreography.

Introduction: Physical therapy education best practice includes the development of adaptive lifelong learners because of a constantly changing health care landscape. The purpose of this study was to identify how self-directed learning (SDL) changes in traditional Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) students over the course of the didactic curriculum.
Review Of Literature: The Master Adaptive Learning (MAL) framework has been proposed as a framework that physical therapy educators adopt to create and educate physical therapists who embrace continuous change and build a culture of creativity and innovation.

Introduction: The introduction of process innovations in healthcare organizations faces challenges in knowledge sharing and incorporating best practices due to a strong professional autonomy, leading to resistance to change. The healthcare paradigm is shifting towards value-based organizations with a patient-centered approach, requiring multidisciplinary care. Change management is crucial, but current approaches are often limited.

New techniques for largescale neural recordings from diverse animals are reshaping comparative systems neuroscience. This growth necessitates fresh conceptual paradigms for comparing neural circuits and activity patterns. Here, we take a systems neuroscience approach to early neural evolution, emphasizing the importance of considering nervous systems as multiply modulated, continuous dynamical systems.
