From biology to biotechnology: Host‐regulation factors from parasitoid wasps are a source of bioactive molecules with translational potential

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Parasitoid wasps deploy maternal and embryonic factors to reprogramme host physiology. Venom, calyx fluid, polydnaviruses, teratocytes and larval secretions act in a coordinated, compartmentalised manner. Host‐regulation factors are promising sources of insecticidal, antimicrobial and bioinspired translational molecules.

Probiotic Stability and Antihypertensive Activity of Peptides in Aguamiel Syrup‐Fortified Milk Protein Fermented by Lacticasebacillus rhamnosus GG

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
This study evaluates the impact of aguamiel syrup on a synbiotic fermented dairy product, focusing on antihypertensive peptide release and Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG survival. While metabolic parameters remained unchanged, aguamiel syrup enhanced bioactive peptide production and antihypertensive activity (45.3%), suggesting its potential as a ...

Salivary Extracellular Vesicles: Paradigm Shift in Liquid Biopsy Diagnostics

Journal of Extracellular Biology, Volume 5, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs), lipid bilayer nanoparticles released by virtually all cells, serve as essential messengers for intercellular communication. Due to their involvement in several pathophysiological processes, EVs have recently gained considerable attention as potentially diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for various illnesses ...

Fecal Proteomics Suggest Potential Biomarkers for Non‐Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Steatohepatitis

PROTEOMICS – Clinical Applications, Volume 20, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and aims Non‐alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) affects about a quarter of the world's population. Liver biopsy remains the gold standard for diagnosing the progressive form of NAFLD called Non‐alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) but it is invasive, prone to sampling errors and observer variability, and impractical for widespread ...

Broadening the View: Substance P and Its Metabolism in Pruritus‐Related Diseases

The Journal of Dermatology, Volume 53, Issue 7, Page 967-979, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Chronic pruritus is a debilitating symptom accompanying numerous inflammatory skin diseases and remains a major therapeutic challenge. Neurogenic inflammation plays a central role in its pathogenesis, with the tachykinin substance P acting as a key mediator at the interface of the nervous system, immune cells, and cutaneous tissues.

The litter C/N ratio governs the dual role of ectomycorrhizal fungi in decomposition and plant nutrition absorption

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 2190-2202, July 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EcMF) modulate litter decomposition and facilitate nutrient acquisition through the soil–mycorrhiza–plant pathway. Although litter chemistry has been considered an important factor affecting litter decomposition, how it regulates EcMF‐induced ...
