Ecosystem recovery in restored saltmarshes detected through invertebrate communities

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Saltmarsh ecosystems support rich biodiversity and provide key ecosystem services. Invertebrate communities underpin essential processes such as nutrient cycling and decomposition. However, saltmarshes have been widely degraded by land use change.

Boosting Photo‐Pyroelectric Effect via Tunable Polarization and Interfacial Defect Engineering

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 25, 4 May 2026.
This study reports Ba(Ti0.85Zr0.15)O3 nanocatalysts with enhanced polarization and oxygen‐vacancy‐rich interfaces for efficient NIR‐II photo‐pyroelectric therapy. Zr doping boosts the pyroelectric coefficient and accelerates polarization switching, while oxygen vacancies improve photothermal conversion and surface reactivity.

NIR‐II Imaging‐Guided Photothermal Activation of a TRPV4‐Targeted Nanoplatform Delivering Cycloastragenol to Promote Microglia Reprogramming and α‐Synuclein Clearance in Parkinson's Disease

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 26, 8 May 2026.
ABSTRACT Current therapies for Parkinson's disease (PD) fail to concurrently address α‐synuclein (α‐syn) aggregation and microglia‐mediated neuroinflammation. Herein, we engineer a near‐infrared‐II (NIR‐II) phototheranostic nanoplatform, CAG/FD1080@MM‐aTRPV4, for synergistic regulation of microglial function and real‐time monitoring of PD pathology. We

Xanthatin‐13‐(Pyrrolidine‐2‐Carboxylic Acid), a Sesquiterpene Lactone Isolated From Burdock Leaf, Attenuated Aβ25‐35 Toxicity and Memory Deficits in a Pharmacological Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease

Phytotherapy Research, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 2824-2843, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a severe form of dementia, which occurrence increases with age and lifestyle conditions. It is characterized by amyloid protein accumulation forming senile plaques, hyperphosphorylated tau protein forming neurofibrillary tangles, neuroinflammation, and oxidative stress, leading to synapse loss and cell death ...
