Emotional responses of veterinary students to first encounters with animal body donors

open access: yesAnatomical Sciences Education, Volume 19, Issue 10, Page 1633-1648, October 2026.
Abstract Students' first encounters with animal body donors in higher education are a formative and also potentially stressful experience. The complex emotions elicited by body donor use in learning and their effects on professional development have been documented in medical students, but are far less explored in veterinary medical counterparts.

Shear Stress‐Stimulated Trafficking of Endothelial Piezo1 to Splenic Capsule Boosts Spleen Contraction and Exercise Endurance

open access: yesJournal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2026.
The vasculo‐splenic axis during exercise: shear stress triggers the release of medium/large extracellular vesicles from vascular endothelial cells via activation of Piezo1, shuttling Piezo1 to the smooth muscle cells in the splenic capsule; the translocated Piezo1 within the splenic capsule acts as a downstream effector of the α1‐adrenergic receptor ...

Breast Cancer‐Derived AZU1 Educates Neutrophils to Promote Tumor Progression and Metastasis Through PAD4‐Dependent Extracellular Trap Formation

open access: yesMolecular Carcinogenesis, Volume 65, Issue 10, Page 1281-1296, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) play crucial roles in cancer progression, but their regulatory mechanisms in breast cancer remain poorly understood. We developed a NETs‐related prognostic risk model using TCGA breast cancer data and identified key biomarkers through bioinformatics analysis.

Life‐stage variation in Sable Shearwater (Ardenna carneipes) physiology assessed using proteomics

open access: yesIbis, Volume 168, Issue 4, Page 1500-1515, October 2026.
Life‐stage transitions in seabirds involve substantial shifts in physiological demands, yet the molecular mechanisms underpinning these changes remain poorly resolved. Here we applied untargeted data‐independent acquisition mass spectrometry (DIA‐MS) to characterize and compare the plasma proteomes of fledgling and adult Sable Shearwaters Ardenna ...
