Enhancing Neural Stem Cell Proliferation Using Polyurethane/CNT Scaffolds Functionalized With Liposomal Hesperidin for Neural Tissue Engineering

Nano Select, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
A multifunctional electrospun scaffold combining polyurethane, carbon nanotubes, and liposomal hesperidin supports neural stem cell survival, adhesion, and expansion. This platform enhances conductivity, mechanical strength, and hydrophilicity while mimicking the native neural environment.

MXene‐Based Conductive Micropatterned Composites Promote Myogenic Differentiation of Muscle Cells

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
Micropatterned, conductive MXene/PLA blends were developed to address tissue loss by guiding the alignment and promoting the differentiation of C2C12 muscle cells. Micropatterned MXene/PLA blends with pitch of 100 and 150 μm supported C2C12 myoblast alignment, improved cell interactions, and promoted early myogenic differentiation without induction ...

Prolonged IL‐33 Exposure Switches the Secreted Mast Cell Cytokine Profile From Pro‐Inflammatory to Pro‐Tolerant

Allergy, Volume 81, Issue 3, Page 720-733, March 2026.
This study investigates the effect of IL‐33 and Hymenoptera venom on mast cell cytokine profiles under venom immunotherapy (VIT)‐like conditions. Our in vitro model of VIT‐like mast cell stimulation demonstrates a modulatory effect of IL‐33 on the secreted mast cell cytokine profile.

Implicit Promises and the Timing of Defined‐Benefit Pension Plan Freezes

Financial Management, Volume 55, Issue 1, Spring 2026.
ABSTRACT Firms time defined‐benefit (DB) plan freezes after CEO turnovers to protect CEO retirement benefits from cost cuts affecting the wider workforce. We document a significant increase in voluntary CEO turnovers just before the freeze, without notable post‐freeze changes.

Sensemaking of Process Data from Evaluation Studies of Educational Games: An Application of Cross‐Classified Item Response Theory Modeling

Journal of Educational Measurement, Volume 63, Issue 1, Spring 2026.
Abstract Process information collected from educational games can illuminate how students approach interactive tasks, complementing assessment outcomes routinely examined in evaluation studies. However, the two sources of information are historically analyzed and interpreted separately, and diagnostic process information is often underused.

The American Black Bear (Ursus americanus) as an Apex Predator: Investigating the Ecological Role of the World's Most Abundant Large Carnivore

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.
Black bears as apex predators. American black bears can (1) produce top‐down effects on ungulates equal to or exceeding those of typical apex predators and (2) modify the spatiotemporal behaviour of other carnivores, including pumas and coyotes. We argue that the term ‘apex predator’ is highly context dependent and not a species‐wide status.

Tailored for swift recognition: A structural perspective on secondary active plant hormone transporters

The Plant Journal, Volume 125, Issue 5, March 2026.
Significance Statement This review synthesizes current knowledge of plant hormone transporters across five major protein superfamilies. It links structural classification to transport mechanism and substrate specificity and demonstrates that this structural perspective provides a predictive framework for understanding substrate scope, selectivity ...
