Active pH Modulation by Proton Channel‐Peptide Nucleic Acid Complex for Effective siRNA Endosomal Escape

open access: yesSmall, Volume 22, Issue 53, 21 September 2026.
A bioinspired siRNA nanocarrier is engineered by integrating an influenza A M2 proton channel with siRNA through a peptide nucleic acid linker on liposome surfaces. Active proton transport amplifies osmotic stress within endosomes, triggering membrane rupture and cytosolic release.

Effects of Algae β‐Glucan Supplementation on the Performance and Intestinal Immune System of Healthy Weaned Piglets

open access: yesJournal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, Volume 110, Issue 5, Page 642-654, September 2026.
ABSTRACT While β‐glucans from plants and yeasts have been extensively studied in weaned piglets, studies examining algae β‐glucans are scarce. Thus, the present study aimed to examine the effects of feeding algae β‐glucan in weaned piglets. Male, 21‐day‐old, weaned crossbred piglets were allotted to three experimental groups, which were fed either an ...
