Introduction Electrocatalysis plays a pivotal role in sustainable energy conversion and storage technologies, such as water splitting, fuel cell, metal-air battery, CO 2 electroreduction, NH3 electrosynthesis, and biomass upgrading, providing great promise to address the ever-increasing energy depletion crisis and associated environmental problems. Among these sustainable energy technologies, a series of electrochemical reactions are key to dominating the overall system efficiency, including but not limited to the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR), CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR), nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR), nitrate reduction reaction (NO 3 RR), chlorine evolution reaction (CER), methanol oxidation reaction (MOR), and urea oxidation reaction (UOR). However, these key reactions always possess intrinsically sluggish kinetics, thus necessitating the development of efficient electrocatalysts to expedite the reaction rate. This Special topic offers a timely platform to showcase cutting-edge research and perspectives on the rational design of advanced electrocatalysts that break new ground in activity, selectivity, and stability, with special emphasis on establishing accurate property-performance correlation. Topics will encompass electrocatalyst synthesis, advanced characterization (especially in-situ/operando techniques), mechanistic understanding studies, and high-efficiency device applications. By bridging electrochemistry, materials chemistry, and sustainable engineering, the issue aims to accelerate progress on clean-energy-oriented electrochemical technologies towards a low-carbon and sustainable future.

Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae Infection
Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) is distinguished from classical K. pneumoniae by its ability to cause community-acquired, invasive infections, such as pyogenic liver abscess and endophthalmitis, even in healthy individuals, whereas the classical form typically leads to opportunistic healthcare-associated infections. Globally, the dominant clone responsible for these hypervirulent invasive infections is K. pneumoniae clonal group 23, which includes sequence type 23. Hypervirulent K. pneumoniae clones are typically characterized by the presence of capsular serotype K1 and a set of hypervirulence-associated genes, such as ybt , iuc , iro , rmpA , and rmpA2 , often encoded on dedicated hypervirulence plasmids. These genetic determinants are central to the hypervirulent phenotype. Although antimicrobial resistance has not traditionally been a hallmark of hvKp, the recent emergence of carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent K. pneumoniae has been increasingly reported worldwide. This topic showcases cutting-edge research on the mechanisms underlying hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae infections, with a particular focus on genetic and molecular factors driving both hypervirulence and antimicrobial resistance. We welcome the submission of original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that contribute to this rapidly evolving and exciting area of microbiology and medicine. Please contact Dr. Atsushi Togawa , Dr. Anthony R. Tam if you have any questions.

Multimodal Generative Models for Biomechanics Data Fusion and Simulation
Introduction In recent years, the rapid evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has begun to reshape how we study, model, and interpret human movement and physiological processes. At the same time, advances in sensing technologies -ranging from wearable devices and motion capture systems to thermal imaging and biomedical sensors - have made it possible to collect increasingly rich and diverse streams of biomechanical data. These developments are creating new opportunities, but also new challenges, for researchers and practitioners working in healthcare, rehabilitation, and human performance science. One of the most promising directions emerging from this convergence is the use of multimodal generative models to integrate and simulate complex biomechanical information. Rather than analyzing individual data sources in isolation, these models allow researchers to bring together heterogeneous signals-such as kinematic measurements, thermal patterns, physiological indicators, and imaging data-into coherent representations that better reflect the dynamic nature of the human body. Beyond improving data integration, generative models are increasingly being used to address practical limitations that many researchers encounter in real-world settings. For example, they can help generate realistic synthetic datasets when clinical samples are limited, support personalized simulations for patient-specific rehabilitation planning, and enable predictive modeling of injury risk or recovery trajectories. In thermal and biomechanical applications, these capabilities are particularly valuable for monitoring physiological stress, understanding tissue responses, and designing adaptive intervention strategies. Looking ahead, the combination of multimodal sensing, generative modeling, and biomechanical simulation is likely to become a foundational component of next-generation digital health systems. Concepts such as digital twins, continuous health monitoring, and intelligent rehabilitation platforms are gradually moving from research prototypes toward practical deployment. Achieving this transition will require not only methodological innovation but also careful attention to reliability, interpretability, and integration with clinical workflows. This issue, “ Multimodal Generative Models for Biomechanics Data Fusion and Simulation ”, aims to provide a forum for researchers, engineers, clinicians, and practitioners who are exploring how multimodal generative models can support more realistic, scalable, and clinically meaningful biomechanical analysis and simulation. We particularly welcome contributions that bridge methodological development with practical implementation, and that demonstrate clear relevance to health informatics, rehabilitation, sports science, or biomedical engineering.
