A Review of Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Disease: Comprehensive Theory and Evidence for Mechanisms of Action

open access: yesComprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 2, April 2026.
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) effects span central and peripheral organ systems through diverse mechanistic pathways. This comprehensive review provides a unified synthesis of these mechanisms across neurological, cardiovascular, immunological, metabolic, and gastrointestinal domains, filling a critical gap and serving as a foundational resource for ...

Phylogenetic Analyses of True Ladybirds (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae: Coccinellini) Reveal Directionality in Diet Evolution and Support a Boreotropical Origin of the Tribe

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
A newly generated large‐scale molecular phylogeny of true ladybirds (Coccinellini) clarifies their evolutionary relationships and supports a boreotropical origin in the Paleocene, with multiple independent southward dispersals. Ancestral diet reconstructions suggest an initial specialization on aphids, followed by expansions in host range and ...

Effect of calcium chloride injection and freezing prior to wet aging on the meat quality of cull cows

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 6, Page 3478-3486, April 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND In Brazil, the slaughter of female cattle, particularly older animals, has increased substantially. However, meat from this category presents limitations in terms of quality, mainly because of its toughness resulting from a high concentration of cross‐links between collagen fibers.

Failure Analysis and Maintenance Planning for Repairable Deteriorating Structural Systems Subject to Imperfect Maintenance

open access: yesQuality and Reliability Engineering International, Volume 42, Issue 3, Page 992-1008, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The analysis of a system that deteriorates under imperfect maintenance is essential in reliability engineering. Imperfect maintenance does not fully restore a system to its original condition, leading to complex degradation patterns. Statistical inference techniques allow for precise estimation of degradation parameters, maintenance effects ...

Development and Laboratory Validation of a Field‐Deployable CRISPR‐Cas12a eDNA Assay for Phylogeographic Lineage Detection in Arctic Char (Salvelinus alpinus)

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) tools are increasingly used for biodiversity monitoring, with most existing assays targeting species‐level identification. However, the use of eDNA to resolve intraspecific genetic variation remains rare and methodologically underdeveloped.

Social cognition in Korsakoff's syndrome: A meta‐analysis

open access: yesAddiction, Volume 121, Issue 4, Page 765-776, April 2026.
Abstract Background and aims Korsakoff's syndrome is an alcohol‐related neurocognitive disorder characterized by episodic memory impairments, apathy, confabulations and poor illness‐insight. This meta‐analysis aimed to estimate mean effect sizes of performance in social cognition in people with Korsakoff's syndrome (KS) compared with controls. Method A

Occurrence and evolution of cannibal behaviour in extant snakes

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 644-664, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Extant snakes (Serpentes) are a highly diverse group of squamate reptiles, which have independently evolved key morphological adaptations to consume a large variety of vertebrate and invertebrate prey. While these predator–prey interactions have been widely addressed by several studies, little is known regarding the occurrence of cannibal ...
