Waist‐to‐Body Mass Index Ratio and Risk of Musculoskeletal Disease in Type 2 Diabetes: A Cohort and PhIP‐Seq Analysis

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Musculoskeletal complications in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) are inadequately captured by body mass index (BMI). Waist‐to‐BMI ratio (WBR) may better reflect adverse body composition. We examined cross‐sectional and longitudinal associations between WBR and musculoskeletal disorders in T2DM.

Functional Blood‐Brain Barrier Crossing by Biomimetic M13 Phage Vectors for Targeted Neuronal Delivery

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 28, 24 July 2026.
This study investigates the M13 bacteriophage as a biomimetic nanovector capable of crossing in vitro models of the blood–brain barrier. By exploiting peculiar transcellular pathways, M13 avoids lysosomal degradation and preserves its structural integrity and functionality.

Identification of two new capsid proteins in bacteriophage M13 [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 1979
MI 3 is a male-specific filamentous coliphage , closely related to the phages fd and fl (reviewed [ 1,2]). The virion is composed of a circular singlestranded DNA (mol. wt 2 X 106) encapsulated in a tubular protein coat of about 850 nm long and 6 nm wide. Up to now it has generally been assumed that the virion coat is composed of two proteins only. The

High‐Throughput Isolation of Nanomouse‐Derived VHH Domains: A Practical Guide from Immunization to Nanobody Expression

Current Protocols, Volume 6, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Nanobodies are small but specific heavy chain–only antibody fragments. Their small size, relative stability, and ability to access difficult to reach deep‐tissue antigens makes them valuable research, diagnostic, and therapeutic tools. Nanobodies are derived from the variable heavy (VH) domain of heavy chain–only antibodies that are unique to ...

Elucidation of DNA Primase as a Drug Target in Leishmania donovani: Structure‐Guided Inhibitor Identification and Biochemical Validation

Chemical Biology &Drug Design, Volume 108, Issue 1, July 2026.
Structure‐guided and biochemical analyses indicate that DNA primase of Leishmania donovani represents a potential therapeutic target, as repurposed compounds, particularly Pritelivir, demonstrate marked inhibitory effects accompanied by reduced parasite proliferation, replication, and altered cellular morphology in in vitro and cell‐based studies ...

Light‐Controlled Peptide Self‐Assembly: From Physicochemical Principles to Emerging Biomedical Applications

Aggregate, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
This review surveys recent advances in light‐controlled peptide self‐assembly for the design of smart soft matter. It summarizes the underlying physicochemical principles, including thermodynamic control for reshaping free‐energy landscapes, and nonequilibrium control to produce kinetically trapped states and dissipative structures.
