Mapping molluscan endocrinology: a systematic and critical appraisal

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 970-1002, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Historically, a vertebrate‐centric paradigm has framed our interpretation of molluscan endocrinology, with considerable research focusing on vertebrate‐type steroid hormones (e.g. oestrogens, testosterone). However, contradictory evidence on the occurrence of vertebrate‐type steroid hormones in molluscan tissues, and a lack of the specific ...

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

Journal 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

Biotropica, 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

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

New 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.
