Alcohol‐induced altered glycans in human tracheal epithelial cells promote bacterial adhesion
FEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 6, Page 1142-1149, June 2026.Alcohol induces altered glycans to promote bacteria adhesion. Heavy alcohol drinking is known to increase the risk of bacterial pneumonia. However, the link between alcohol levels and risk of infection remains underexplored. Recently, we found that alcohol induced α2‐6sialo mucin O‐glycans in human tracheobronchial epithelial cells, which mediated the ...

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 34, 19 June 2026.This study designs a targeted nanocomposite (ct@HMCF‐Dex) that responds to acidic infection microenvironments, releasing components which amplify oxidative stress. It disrupts bacterial redox balance, chelates metals to sustain lipid peroxidation, and synergistically induces cuproptosis/ferroptosis‐like death.

Advanced Dental Composite Technology via Bisilanized Dual‐Action Nanofillers for Biofilm Control
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 36, 29 June 2026.A multimodal research strategy has led to the development of an innovative resin‐based composite (RBC) with dual antibacterial action. The S_CM‐RBC formula showed strong antibiofilm activity, excellent mechanical strength, and biosafety. It effectively controlled oral bacteria in prevention of caries recurrence, and maintained pulp health in a rat ...

Structure‐driven immature cotton nanocomposite fibers for ESKAPE pathogen control
Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 11, Issue 1, June 2026.Abstract Transforming underutilized, low‐quality immature cotton fibers into functional materials provides a sustainable strategy for enhancing economic value. In this study, the intrinsic structural features of immature cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) fibers—typically considered as defects in textile processing—were exploited for the in situ synthesis ...

Microstructural Evidence for Early Childhood Stress in a Community in Transition at Hisban, Jordan
American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Objectives Identification of stress across infancy and childhood can reflect maternal and environmental influences on early life health. In the 19th century community of Hisban, many infants died before 2 years of age with evidence of metabolic disease, including rickets, that likely ties with maternal health.

The Winthir Collection: An Identified Historical Skeletal Series From Munich, Germany
American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACTDocumented skeletal collections that can be linked to individual life‐history information remain critical resources for bioarchaeological research, yet nonmodern identified series are still rare in Central Europe. We present the Winthir Collection, a late‐19th‐century skeletal assemblage from Munich, Germany, comprising 245 identified ...
