From pollen provision to pollinator: Species‐specific sterol assimilation by wild bees in urban landscapes

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1906-1920, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Human‐driven landscape change, particularly urbanization, is reshaping pollinator communities, yet the functional traits that mediate species persistence remain poorly understood. Dietary specialization is commonly used to predict species vulnerability.

High cholesterol absorption efficiency enhances proatherogenic properties of low‐density lipoprotein particles

Journal of Internal Medicine, Volume 299, Issue 6, Page 711-725, June 2026.
Abstract Background and Aims High cholesterol absorption efficiency is determined by genetic variation in small intestinal sterol transporters and affects one‐third of individuals. Their risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is increased compared with low cholesterol absorbers, despite similar serum lipid concentrations.

The Genetic Landscape of Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia in Greece

Clinical Genetics, Volume 109, Issue 5, Page 837-846, May 2026.
We investigated 112 Greek index‐cases with hereditary spastic paraplegia collected over > 25 years using NGS and MLPA. We identified a causative variant in 68 patients (60.7%), including 7 novel causative variants. This study presents a comprehensive overview of the phenotypic and genotypic spectrum of HSP in the Greek population.

High cholesterol absorption efficiency interferes with bile acid metabolism and cholesterol elimination from the body

Journal of Internal Medicine, Volume 299, Issue 5, Page 628-638, May 2026.
Abstract Background Elevated low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol causes atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. Variables of whole‐body cholesterol metabolism, for example, high cholesterol absorption efficiency, might also be atherogenic, whereas the role of bile acids is controversial.

Lueyang Black‐Boned Chicken and Black Bean Soup Promoting the Acute Healing of Skin Wounds, Accompanying Special Flavor Substances

Food Chemistry International, Volume 2, Issue 1, Page 46-57, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Animal protein and plant protein make the protein supplement more comprehensive and further optimize the nutritional structure of the national diet. In this study, a “dual protein” Lueyang black‐boned chicken and black bean soup (FS) was prepared.

Safety and Effectiveness of Pharmacy Compounded Chenodeoxycholic Acid Capsules for Patients With Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 49, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) is an essential drug for patients with rare metabolic disease cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX). To ensure continuation of treatment, the Amsterdam UMC hospital pharmacy developed pharmacy compounded CDCA capsules when the authorized CDCA capsules were no longer available for Dutch patients.

Functional analysis of UDP-sugar: sterol glucosyltransferases [PDF]

Glycosyltransferases (GTs) are essential for the biosynthesis and diversification of many therapeutically important natural products. Of these, UDP-sugar: sterol glucosyltransferases (UGTs) (2.4.1.173) catalyse the synthesis of therapeutically important ...

Cholesteryl Fatty Acid Esters and Free Cholesterol in Food of Animal Origin

European Journal of Lipid Science and Technology, Volume 128, Issue 1, January 2026.
Cholesterol occurs in free (bioavailable) and esterified (transport/storage) forms. Here, we present a method that allows both forms to be determined independently. Finally, the quantities of free and esterified cholesterol were determined in several meat, animal fat, and cheese samples.
