Insights Into Macrophage Polarization and M1/M2 Balance in Diabetic Foot Ulcers

open access: yesJournal of Diabetes, Volume 18, Issue 3, March 2026.
This graphical abstract illustrates pharmaceutical agents that modulate M1/M2 macrophage polarization in diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). M1 macrophages (red) drive inflammation, whereas M2 macrophages (blue) promote tissue repair. In DFUs, persistent M1 predominance contributes to chronic non‐healing. Five key agents targeting this imbalance are depicted:

Diversity of Terrestrial Malacofauna, Favorable Habitats, and Relationships With Mollusk Size in Urban Environments of Sergipe, Northeastern Brazil

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
The invasive exotic snail Achatina fulica dominates the terrestrial mollusk community in the city of Aracaju, occurring in all sampled urban habitats and being the most abundant species among the individuals collected. In addition, it exhibited a larger shell size and greater total weight, particularly in back gardens. ABSTRACT Terrestrial mollusks can

Achatina fulica Mucus Ameliorates UVB-induced Human Dermal Fibroblast Photoaging via the TGF-β/Smad Pathway

open access: yesIndonesian Biomedical Journal, 2023
BACKGROUND: Ultraviolet B (UVB) induces skin photoaging by reducing collagen deposition via impairment of the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway. Achatina fulica mucus (AFM) is a native medicine acting as vehicle of anti-aging ingredients.

The Vulnerability of New Zealand Forage Plants to Incursions by New Pests, Pathogens and Weeds, and the Case for Greater Protection

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
We outline the diversity of pests, weeds and plant pathogens absent from New Zealand that threaten forage production, examine their potential import pathways, and outline the challenges of managing them should they arrive. The number and diversity of threats and pathways indicates ongoing incursions are inevitable.

Multitarget Antibacterial Potential of Salvia splendens–Mediated Co3O4 Nanoparticles: Experimental and In Silico Evidence

open access: yesJournal of Nanotechnology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The rapid emergence of antibiotic resistance has intensified the need for alternative antimicrobial strategies. In this study, cobalt oxide (Co3O4) was synthesized via a green approach using Salvia splendens leaf extract as the reducing and stabilizing agent. Structural characterization techniques, including UV–visible spectroscopy, FTIR, XRD, SEM, and
