A Pilot Randomised Controlled Dose‐Ranging Trial of Ant Venom Immunotherapy With and Without Delta‐Inulin Adjuvant

Clinical &Experimental Allergy, Volume 56, Issue 4, Page 378-390, April 2026.
Low dose (25mcg) jack jumper ant venom immunotherapy with or without Advax adjuvant, had similar efficacy to the current standard of care. Reduction in basophil activation test reactivity in response to treatment correlated with sting challenge outcome.

Cold‐blooded commerce: Characterizing and predicting trade in Australian squamates

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 4, April 2026.
Despite a national ban on native wildlife exports, Australian reptile species continue to appear in international trade. Using boosted regression trees, we found that large body sizes and taxonomic family, rather than color or patterning, best predicted trade presence. We identified 59 species likely to be targeted in the future, providing key insights

Disintegration, Salvation, and/or Madness in Dostoevsky

International Journal of Applied Psychoanalytic Studies, Volume 23, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Psychological fragmentation and derangement suffuse Dostoevsky's fiction. This paper argues that the madness of Dostoevsky characters derives from intense wounds to the self: humiliating lacerations that impel fugue and disintegration. Such vulnerable, frangible characters seek to escape and deny themselves to avoid being seen for who they are.

The many dimeric faces of Lys49 PLA2‐like proteins: Conformational plasticity and membrane binding drive functional dimer states

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Lys49 secreted phospholipase A2‐like proteins (sPLA2s) are major myotoxins in viperid snake venoms, causing rapid muscle damage in envenomation. Beyond their clinical relevance, these small non‐catalytic proteins provide a model to study how quaternary structure and conformational dynamics enable catalysis‐independent membrane disruption ...

Tackling High Dimensionality in QSP: Guiding Model Order Reduction With Index Analysis

CPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) models offer a useful platform to integrate drug pharmacology with knowledge about biological mechanisms across multiple scales and data sources into a unified quantitative framework. This makes them invaluable to address many relevant questions in drug research and development.
