Prospective of indigenous African wild food plants in alleviation of the severe iron deficiency anaemia in Sub‐Saharan Africa

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 486-498, March 2026.
Iron deficiency anaemia remains a major public health challenge in Sub‐Saharan Africa, where population growth, displacement and limited resources heighten nutritional insecurity. We compiled a list of indigenous African underutilized wild food plants and examined their potential for addressing micronutrient deficiencies.

Ions as Architects of DNA Nanostructures: Mechanisms, Simulations, and Technological Frontiers

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
Ions are not merely passive electrolytes but active regulators of DNA nanostructures. This review shows how ion valence, hydration, and specificity govern electrostatic screening, correlation, and confinement, enabling DNA origami, metallized DNA, nanopores, hydrogels, DNAzymes, molecular machines, and energy devices through integrated experimental and

Freshwater and Sediment Host Distinct Yet Overlapping Microeukaryotic Communities, With Sediment Communities Less Impacted by Treated Wastewater

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Freshwater and sediment environments host diverse microeukaryotic communities that differ in structure and composition, yet exhibit taxonomic overlap. Using 18S V9 rRNA gene sequencing, we compared communities from these habitats in controlled 10‐day mesocosm experiments, examining diversity, overlap, and responses to treated wastewater (TWW).

Computer Vision Detects an Association Between Gross Gill Score and Ventilation Rates in Farmed Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar)

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 49, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Poor gill health compromises the health and welfare of farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) by causing respiratory distress and increased ventilation frequency. Poor gill health is caused by numerous factors, including amoebic gill disease (AGD), jellyfish stings, and toxic algae, and is monitored by fish farmers by manual ‘gill scoring’. Gill

Environmental Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis Hosted by Free-Living Amoebae

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018
Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis is responsible for paratuberculosis in animals. This disease, leading to an inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, has a high impact on animal health and an important economic burden.

Transfer cells in Horneophyton lignieri illuminate the origin of vascular tissues in land plants

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 3149-3164, March 2026.
Summary Recent fossil discoveries and advances in plant phylogeny have renewed debate about the most recent common ancestor (MRCA) of land plants and the evolution of its fundamental organs and tissues. We re‐investigate the vascular system of Horneophyton lignieri, an exceptionally preserved Rhynie Chert fossil central to understanding early plant ...
