Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Prolonged bed rest and immobilization have deleterious effects on skeletal muscle mass and function, especially in older adults. These can lead to reduced physical capacity and quality of life. Previous experiments in younger individuals show that exercise can mitigate these effects, but evidence remains scarce and inconclusive in older adults.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.Transcriptomic data indicates that gene expression responses underlying developmental thermal plasticity differ from those of short‐term acclimation temperature in the butterfly Pieris rapae. We also identify a small subset of genes for which expression levels depend on the interaction of developmental temperature and short‐term acclimation temperature.

Interactions of Mucus Monosaccharides and the Epidermal Microbiome in Four Benthic Elasmobranchs
Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.Here we collected mucus and microbes from the skin of Elasmobranchs to identify interactions between mucus and the microbial community. We identified key microbial genes involved in the metabolism of mucus carbohydrates in Elasmobranchs. ABSTRACT Epidermal mucus is a complicated mixture of macromolecules which acts as the first line of defence for ...

The return of metabolism: biochemistry and physiology of glycolysis
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 751-803, April 2026.ABSTRACT Glycolysis is a fundamental metabolic pathway central to the bioenergetics and physiology of virtually all living organisms. In this comprehensive review, we explore the intricate biochemical principles and evolutionary origins of glycolytic pathways, from the classical Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas (EMP) pathway in humans to various prokaryotic and ...

Plastid Engineering for Photosynthesis‐Driven Synthesis of Hyaluronic Acid in Tobacco
Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2541-2558, April 2026.ABSTRACT Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a glycosaminoglycan composed of alternating units of N‐acetylglucosamine and glucuronic acid. High moisture retention, viscoelasticity and biocompatibility are unique features that make HA polymers attractive compounds for medical applications and aesthetic purposes.

Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 58, Issue 2, Page 601-618, March 2026.Abstract Background Nocardioform placentitis (NP) is an understudied form of equine placentitis historically attributed to nocardioform bacteria, yet it remains uncertain whether these organisms are the sole pathogens involved. Objectives To elucidate the pathophysiology of NP and the host–pathogen interaction. Study Design In vivo clinical multi‐omics

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1557, Issue 1, March 2026.Transketolase (TKT) activity provides a functional measure of thiamine status by integrating cofactor availability, enzyme abundance, and catalytic capacity. TKT catalyzes thiamine diphosphate (TDP)‐dependent reactions in the nonoxidative pentose‐phosphate pathway and requires magnesium for optimal activity.

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 1598-1616, March 2026.ABSTRACT Phosphate (Pi) is an essential macronutrient for plant development that is often limited in soil. Plants have evolved dynamic biochemical, physiological and morphological adaptations to cope with Pi deficiency, known as the Pi starvation response (PSR).

Computational insights into carbohydrate epimerase mechanisms
, 2023 [eng] Carbohydrates, as the most abundant biomolecules, play a myriad of roles and functions in biological systems. Unlike the building blocks of proteins, amino acids, whose chemical structure can vary significantly, monosaccharides, the building blocks of carbohydrates, can exhibit small differences in their chemical structure that lead to a very ...

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 3, 15 February 2026.Rats under mild caloric restriction (85% vs. ad libitum) for 2 weeks show metabolic and structural adaptations in iBAT. Caloric restriction increases glycolysis and triglyceride deposition in the tissue, leading to larger lipid droplets. It also reduces mitochondrial iBAT content, while maintaining iBAT thermogenic potential thanks to an increased ...
