Endogenous “Time Bomb” – Mislocalized Phospholipase A2 as a Critical Mediator of Ultra‐Rapid Mortality in Sepsis and Acute Lung Injury

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 32, 9 June 2026.
Phospholipase A2 (PLA2), a dormant enzyme, becomes lethal when activated—collapsing lungs in minutes. Our dual therapy (DOPS + varespladib) boosts survival from 0% to >90% in sepsis/ALI. A breakthrough for acute lung injury treatment. ABSTRACT This study reveals that phospholipase A2 (PLA2), normally stable and nontoxic, can be activated specifically ...

Landscape heterogeneity is an important predictor of snake–human encounters in Eswatini

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Our results suggest that large‐scale land use changes, such as disintegration of natural habitat into smaller patches of habitat, are associated with a significant increased likelihood of encountering a snake. This has important implications for both snakebite prevention and landscape conservation in southern Africa as habitats change and populations ...
