Trade‐offs in avian parental care: a review of theory and meta‐analysis of brood size manipulations
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2337-2358, October 2026.ABSTRACT The selective forces shaping parental care have been studied for over 50 years. While theoretical and experimental work has yielded qualitative progress, the large body of empirical work testing predictions about parental investment based on life‐history trade‐offs has yet to be synthesized.

Bioactive peptides in cancer and inflammation: Mechanisms, model systems and clinical translation
Clinical and Translational Discovery, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2026.Bioactive peptides (BAPs) derived from host, marine, insect, plant and synthetic sources share cationic, amphipathic structures adopting α‐helical, β‐sheet or cyclic conformations. These features underlie anti‐cancer effects, including membrane disruption, apoptosis and cell‐cycle arrest, anti‐metastatic activity, reduced invasion and migration, and ...

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2026.The graphical abstract illustrates how microbiome‐derived indoles activate the aryl hydrocarbon receptor to restore the intestinal barrier. The picture contrasts the “leaky gut” state with the restored homeostasis achieved through AMPK, Nrf2, and IL‐22 signaling.

Fluoride as a Modifier of Metallome Homeostasis: A Systematic Review of Animal Studies
Basic &Clinical Pharmacology &Toxicology, Volume 139, Issue 4, October 2026.ABSTRACT Fluoride is widely used for caries prevention due to its effects on mineralized tissues, yet its potential role as a modifier of systemic metal homeostasis remains insufficiently explored. This systematic review synthesizes preclinical evidence on the association between fluoride exposure and changes in metal and semi‐metal concentrations ...

Bioethics, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 854-864, October 2026.ABSTRACT The Personalized Patient Preference Predictor (P4) has been proposed as an AI tool to aid surrogate decision‐making when incapacitated patients lack advance directives. Unlike population‐level Patient Preference Predictors (PPPs), which infer preferences from demographic correlations, P4s fine‐tune large language models (LLMs) on a patient's ...

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 737-758, October 2026.Two‐toed sloths use their thoracic limbs for more frequent and greater suspensory support than three‐toed sloths and have muscle architectural properties consistent with stability of the pectoral girdle, enhanced flexor force/torque applied at the shoulder and elbow joints, and grip on the support as indicated by their myology. Abstract Two‐toed sloths

Traces of Criminal Records: Digital Reputation and Information Concealment Policy
Law &Policy, Volume 48, Issue 4, October 2026.ABSTRACT In the United States, a robust data ecosystem aggregates and shares public records about people that may ultimately appear in Internet search results for a person's name. These records can include stigmatizing information and operate outside public policy efforts to conceal negative information from regulated background screening processes ...
