Insect‐Derived Bioactives for Glycemic Control and Gut Health: A Review

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.
Insect‐derived bioactive compounds (e.g., peptides, polysaccharides) effectively regulate blood glucose through dual mechanisms: directly inhibiting carbohydrate‐digesting enzymes and glucose transporters, and indirectly modulating gut microbiota to enhance intestinal barrier integrity.

The dysregulation of innate immunity by Porphyromonas gingivalis in the etiology of Alzheimer's disease

Journal of Internal Medicine, Volume 299, Issue 3, Page 328-348, March 2026.
Abstract The etiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains under active debate. In this perspective, we explore the hypothesis that a primarily infection‐caused chronic dysregulation and weakening of human innate immunity via the underexpression, degradation, and inactivation of innate immune proteins necessary for direct antimicrobial effects and ...

HSP70 governs permeability and mechanotransduction in primary human endothelial cells

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 2, Page 382-396, February 2026.
HSP70 chemical inhibition reduces endothelial cell proliferation and increases permeability, the latter supported by normal interendothelial junctional protein distribution. HSP70 also plays a role in shear stress response, a hemodynamic force naturally present in blood vessels and correlated with vessel protection.

The components of an electrical synapse as revealed by expansion microscopy of a single synaptic contact

eLife
Most nervous systems combine both transmitter-mediated and direct cell–cell communication, known as ‘chemical’ and ‘electrical’ synapses, respectively. Chemical synapses can be identified by their multiple structural components.

Identification of PKN2 and MOB4 as Coordinators of Collective Cell Migration

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, 9 February 2026.
Through a genetic screen, PKN2 and MOB4 are identified as two proteins regulating the healing of an epithelial model wound. PKN2 promotes collective cell migration by maintaining the cohesion of cell monolayers from their lateral junctions, whereas MOB4 restrains collective cell migration and provides a lamellipodial cue for front‐rear polarity in ...

Human Atlas of Tooth Decay Progression: Identification of Cellular Mechanisms Driving the Switch from Dental Pulp Repair Toward Irreversible Pulpitis

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, 9 February 2026.
Tooth decay progression transforms the dental pulp response from repair to fibrosis. At early stages, stromal cells reprogram to repair the extra cellular matrix (ECM), blood vessels, and nerves, remodel and grow, keeping repair possible. In advanced decay, hypoxia, and vessel regression, in complement with an immune switch, fuel nerve degeneration and

Effectiveness of Multivitamins vs Folic Acid on Prevention of Neural Tube Defects in Mouse Genetic Models and Human Organoids

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, 9 February 2026.
Folic acid (FA) and multivitamins/minerals (MVM) are recommended for the prevention of neural tube defects (NTDs). Using a novel human neural tube‐like organoid system and mouse models, the study compares the effectiveness of two supplements on NTDs and cellular behaviors.

Crossing the Blood–Brain Barrier with Molecularly Imprinted Polymeric Nanocarriers: An Emerging Frontier in Brain Disease Therapy

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, 3 February 2026.
Molecularly imprinted polymeric nanocarriers (nanoMIPs) offer robust, antibody‐mimetic platforms to overcome the blood‐brain barrier. The article surveys nanoMIP design and ligand‐directed surface engineering that harness receptor‐mediated transcytosis, and highlights therapeutic and diagnostic applications in neurodegeneration, brain tumors and ...

Cadherin‐26 Facilitates Transepithelial Migration of Eosinophils in Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, Volume 16, Issue 2, Page 138-151, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (eCRSwNP) is characterized by persistent sinonasal inflammation and marked eosinophilic infiltration. Although the relationship between eosinophils and NP formation has been extensively studied, the mechanisms governing eosinophil transepithelial migration into the nasal mucosa ...

Arginase 2 Promotes Colorectal Cancer Metastasis via PI3K/AKT Pathway Activation and Regulates Tumor Immune Infiltration

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer‐related deaths, with metabolic reprogramming involved in its pathogenesis. Aberrant Arginase 2 (ARG2) expression is linked to malignant progression, but its role in CRC remains unclear. Methods ARG2 expression in CRC and adjacent tissues was analyzed.
