Urbanisation Favours Ground Beetle (Carabidae) Species That Prefer Dry Soils and Have Reduced Dispersal Capacity

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Species' responses to urbanisation can be associated with their functional traits, with species possessing traits that allow them to reduce or overcome the challenges associated with urbanisation expected to exist in greater densities in urban areas.

Sexually Dimorphic Regulation of MiR‐29a/c‐3p in Human Endothelial Cells: Cell Functions and Transcriptome

open access: yesJournal of Cellular Physiology, Volume 241, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Preeclampsia (PE) is a major cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality during pregnancy. PE is characterized by widespread endothelial dysfunction in mothers and fetuses. The etiology of PE remains elusive, but the dysregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) in endothelial cells may contribute to the pathogenesis of PE. We have reported that

Deletion of a Pax1 Sex‐Associated Genomic Region Associated With Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Leads to Disc Degeneration, Instability, and Vertebral Rotation in Mice

open access: yesJOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Overview of the effects of Pax1‐SAR deletion on gene expression, IVD degeneration, and resultant scoliotic‐like curvature between sexes. Proposed mechanism of sex‐dependent changes in gene expression in females (right) and males (left), resulting in sex‐dependent disc degeneration and scoliotic phenotypes.

Unraveling Oral Dysbiosis: Microbial Complexity in Common Oral Diseases

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
The oral microbiome undergoes dynamic establishment from birth, maturing into a resilient ecosystem. Perturbation of this homeostasis—driven by dietary, immunological, and anatomical factors—triggers dysbiosis, which underpins the pathogenesis of major oral diseases, including dental caries, periodontal disease, salivary gland disorders, oral mucosal ...

Sex Determination in Sponges

open access: yesMolecular Reproduction and Development, Volume 93, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Sex determination in Porifera remains one of the least understood aspects of early metazoan biology despite the group's key phylogenetic position. Sponges display exceptional diversity in sexual systems—ranging from stable gonochorism to sequential hermaphroditism and sex reversal—yet lack morphological dimorphism and any discrete gonadal ...

tVNS Mitigates Neuroinflammation and Nociception in a Rodent LPS Endotoxemia Model

open access: yesClinical and Translational Science, Volume 19, Issue 6, June 2026.
Experimental design and key findings. Four groups (Control+Sham, Control+tVNS, LPS+Sham, LPS+tVNS; n = 7 each) underwent serum ELISA, brain Western blot, and behavioral testing. tVNS altered serum Haptoglobin, IL‐6, CGRP1, and VE‐Cadherin levels, reversed LPS‐induced increases in brain IL‐1β, HMGB1, Haptoglobin, PAR‐2, and CGRP, and alleviated LPS ...
