Muscle Weakness and the Irisin–BDNF and Oxidative Stress Axis in the 60‐Day Pseudorandomised Controlled AGBRESA Bed Rest Study

open access: yesJournal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Muscle atrophy and weakness are among the most detrimental consequences of disuse, microgravity, hospitalisation and ageing. Oxidative modifications of myofibrillar proteins generated by oxidative stress may contribute to the reduced force‐ and power‐generating capacity of skeletal muscles. As part of the 60‐day AGBRESA bed rest (BR)

Ophidiomycosis Prevalence and Disease Ecology in a Natrix tessellata (Laurenti, 1768) Population From Northern Italy

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 3, Page 292-305, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Fungal pathogens pose a growing threat to vertebrate biodiversity. In snakes, Ophidiomyces ophidiicola (Oo) has garnered particular concern, although its impact in Europe remains poorly understood. We conducted a season‐long, standardized survey of dice snakes (Natrix tessellata) along the northern shore of Lake Como (Italy) to quantify Oo and

Therapeutic Impact of Caffeic Acid Phenethyl Ester and Acyclovir Combination on Human Gingival Fibroblasts (HGF‐1) Infected With Herpes Simplex Type 1 ICP0

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Herpes simplex virus Type 1 (HSV‐1) is a prevalent infectious agent globally, often causing oral infections like gingivostomatitis. The ICP0 protein of HSV‐1 exacerbates infection severity by inhibiting antiviral responses. Our study explored how combinations of CAPE (caffeic acid phenethyl ester) and acyclovir influenced immune responses in ...

Evaluating the potential of RNA interference for control of striped cucumber beetle, Acalymma vittatum (Fabricius) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 3591-3602, April 2026.
SCB has a robust RNAi response to injected dsRNA, but oral RNAi is less efficient. Nucleases do not appear to be responsible for the discrepancy, suggesting other factors are involved. Abstract BACKGROUND The striped cucumber beetle (SCB) is a serious pest of cucurbit crops, causing damage both by feeding on plants and by vectoring plant diseases ...

Glucosinolate hydrolysis products suppress entomopathogenic nematodes in vitro but do not protect sequestering flea beetle larvae in vivo

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 3603-3612, April 2026.
The flea beetle's glucosinolate‐based chemical defense fails to protect larvae from nematode infection. However, the defense inhibits the nematode's symbiotic bacteria, thereby potentially impairing nematode reproduction and biocontrol success. Abstract BACKGROUND The efficacy of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) in the biological control of insect ...
