Unexpected Suppression of Tomato Fruit Cuticle Formation by Overexpression of a Key Cutin Biosynthetic Enzyme

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fruit cuticles regulate the diffusion of water, gases and solutes, functioning as essential protective interfaces against environmental and biotic stresses. Engineering cuticle structure and mechanics therefore represents a promising strategy for improving fruit quality and resilience.

Inflorescence Photosynthesis Determines Resource Allocation, Seed Production and Senescence in an Agricultural Weed

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agricultural weeds typically combine high reproductive output with fast vegetative growth. Here we analyzed the processes that overcome a potential trade‐off between vegetative growth and reproduction in the weed Avena fatua. We determined photosynthetic function of inflorescences and analyzed the transcriptomes of individual inflorescence ...

Mechanical pressure on endothelial cells mediates remote ischaemic preconditioning‐induced neuroprotection via miR‐126

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Remote ischaemic preconditioning (RIPC) uses brief limb ischaemia to protect distant organs, but the mechanism of travel of the protective signal remains unclear. This study investigated whether endothelial cells (ECs) contribute to RIPC‐induced neuroprotection and the underlying mechanisms.

Cobra Deities and Divine Cobras: The Ambiguous Animality of Nāgas [PDF]

open access: yesReligions, 2019
In South Asia, cobras are the animals most dangerous to humans—as humans are to cobras. Paradoxically, one threat to cobras is their worship by feeding them milk, which is harmful to them, but religiously prescribed as an act of love and tenderness towards a deity.

Mapping of C5‐Blocking Monoclonal Antibodies Reveals New C5 Inhibitory Epitopes and Novel Modes of C5 Inhibition

open access: yesImmunology, Volume 179, Issue 3, Page 444-456, November 2026.
We identify four distinct C5 inhibitory epitopes, including two novel antibodies that selectively block membrane attack complex (MAC) assembly while preserving C5 cleavage and C5a generation. These findings establish selective MAC inhibition as a new therapeutic strategy for complement‐mediated diseases.

World Trade Center neurotoxicant exposure severity is associated with cortical thinning and regional brain atrophy: a neuroimaging study of general responders at midlife

open access: yesAlzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract INTRODUCTION Exposure to aerosolized pollutants is a risk factor for cognitive impairment and dementia, but the specific features of exposure‐related neurodegeneration remain unclear. METHODS We measured the World Trade Center Neurotoxicant Exposure Severity Index (WTC‐NESI) in 218 responders and unexposed controls aged 44‐65 years.
