Feathers and flu: identifying data gaps in avian influenza host dynamics to prioritize wildlife conservation Plumas y gripe: identificación de datos faltantes en la dinámica de hospedadores de la influenza aviar para priorizar la conservación de la vida silvestre

Wildlife Monographs, Volume 225, Issue 1, September 2026.
We describe the host response continuum for highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIV), including the continuum of host responses to HPAIV infection and exposure based on the primary axis of host competence, ability to infect other hosts, and host vulnerability.

Cryo‐EM Structure Guided Engineering of Botulinum Neurotoxin A With Advanced Receptor Binding Affinity and Therapeutical Benefits

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 33, 15 June 2026.
The butterfly unfolded wing in an open form structure of botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT/A) at physiological‐state was confirmed at 2.85 Å resolution by cryo‐electron microscopy (cryo‐EM). Structure‐guided protein engineering significantly enhanced the receptor‐binding affinity, therapeutic efficacy, and safety of the engineered toxin variants ...

Case Report: Recurrent Guillain–Barré Syndrome in a 56‐Year‐Old Male

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Recurrent Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) is an uncommon variant of immune‐mediated polyradiculoneuropathy. We report a 56‐year‐old male who had two distinct episodes of acute inflammatory demyelinating neuropathy within the span of 3 months. The first episode presented with an episode of ascending paralysis and areflexia, with nerve conduction ...
