Stimuli‐Responsive Crosslinked Chitosan/PVP/PEG Hydrogel Networks for Targeted Drug Delivery and Antimicrobial Performance

Analytical Science Advances, Volume 7, Issue 1, June 2026.
ABSTRACT In this study, a unique pH‐sensitive PEG/C/PVA hydrogel based on chitosan (C), polyvinyl propylene (PVP) and polyethylenglycol (PEG) crosslinked with tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) was fabricated. This PEG/C/PVA hydrogel was designed to deliver different drugs with distinct release profiles, including diclofenac sodium and ciprofloxacin, and ...

Kefir: A Potential Gut Microbiota Modulator: A Systematic Review of Human Interventional Studies

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Daily cow's milk kefir intake transiently enriches gut microbiota, modulates the intestinal environment by increasing SCFA and reducing pH and oxygen, and exerts antimicrobial effects via SCFAs, bacteriocins, exopolysaccharides, and microbial fractions, highlighting its potential for gut health promotion.

Chromosome segregation in a minimal bacterial cell driven by SMC protein complexes

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Minimal bacterial cells such as JCVI‐Syn3A provide a powerful system for uncovering the essential mechanisms of chromosome organization and segregation. Lacking canonical systems such as Min and ParABS, JCVI‐Syn3A relies primarily on structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) protein complexes for partitioning.

Analysis of the heterogenous structural states of the hexameric ATPase PilU of the type IV pili from Vibrio cholerae

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Type IV pili (T4P) mediate surface motility, host interactions, and DNA uptake through cycles of extension and retraction. While the primary retraction ATPase PilT has been extensively characterized, its homolog PilU remains less well understood despite being demonstrated as a PilT‐dependent retraction ATPase.

Structural analysis of Cu/Zn‐superoxide dismutase linked to neurodegenerative disease by antibody‐guided cryo‐EM

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Accumulation of misfolded proteins is a hallmark of many neurodegenerative diseases. To characterize such misfolded species in vivo, conformation‐specific antibodies are widely used; however, limited knowledge of antibody–epitope interactions often hampers mechanistic insight.
