Living Liquid Metal Composites Embedded with Electrogenic Endospores for Next‐Generation Bioelectronics

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 20, 9 March 2026.
A new class of living liquid metal composites is introduced, embedding Bacillus subtilis endospores into eutectic gallium–indium (EGaIn). The spores enhance droplet coalescence, strengthen interfacial conductivity, and provide on‐demand electrogenic functionality after germination. The composites exhibit high conductivity, self‐healing, patternability,

Comparative efficacy of seed biopriming and soil drenching with Bacillus altitudinis TM22 and Bacillus atrophaeus MCM61 on the suppression of Fusarium wilt of cotton

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 3, Page 2424-2445, March 2026.
Co‐application of Bacillus strains TM22 and MCM61 suppressed Fusarium wilt of cotton. Seed biopriming with Bacillus strains performed better than soil drenching. TM22 + MCM61 improved vegetative and physiological aspects in cotton plants. TM22 + MCM61 enhanced the activity of defense enzymes and defense gene expression.

Chronic Antibiotic Use, Gut Microbiota Dysbiosis, and Increased Risk of Colorectal Cancer: An Emerging Threat

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims The gut microbiota plays a vital role in host health by regulating metabolic processes, immune function, and epithelial barrier functions. Chronic use of antibiotics can alter this environment and introduce gut dysbiosis, which is defined as an alteration of microbial communities characterized by a loss of beneficial ...
