Machine Learning on Systematically Curated Data Reveals Key Determinants of Magnetic Hyperthermia Performance

Small, Volume 22, Issue 17, 20 March 2026.
This study presents a machine‐learning (ML) framework to predict the specific absorption rate (SAR) of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) for magnetic hyperthermia. A curated dataset comprising 30 intrinsic and extrinsic features revealed strong nonlinear dependencies.

Association of Haematological Parameters With TLR Genes in Healthy and Distemper‐Infected Dogs Haematology and TLRs in Distemper

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
The distemper‐infected dogs presented with an upregulated expression of the immune recognition receptors TLR3, TLR4 and TLR9. In the distemper‐infected dogs, there was a positive correlation between the TLR1 and PWD, TLR4 and WBC, Gran and Gran%, TLR5 and HCT, TLR6 and Gran%, TLR7 and MCV and TLR7 and PDW, as well as a negative correlation between the ...

The American Black Bear (Ursus americanus) as an Apex Predator: Investigating the Ecological Role of the World's Most Abundant Large Carnivore

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.
Black bears as apex predators. American black bears can (1) produce top‐down effects on ungulates equal to or exceeding those of typical apex predators and (2) modify the spatiotemporal behaviour of other carnivores, including pumas and coyotes. We argue that the term ‘apex predator’ is highly context dependent and not a species‐wide status.
