Bisphenol B Exposure Induces Miscarriage by Suppressing Migration/Invasion and Migrasome Formation

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, 3 February 2026.
BPB (Bisphenol B) exposure up‐regulates ER (estrogen receptor) levels, enhances its interactions with the lnc‐HZ04 promoter region, and thus promotes ER‐mediated lnc‐HZ04 transcription. Subsequently, lnc‐HZ04 suppresses TCF4 (transcription factor 4)‐mediated PKCA (protein kinase C alpha) transcription and subsequently suppresses migration/invasion and ...

Crossing the Blood–Brain Barrier with Molecularly Imprinted Polymeric Nanocarriers: An Emerging Frontier in Brain Disease Therapy

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, 3 February 2026.
Molecularly imprinted polymeric nanocarriers (nanoMIPs) offer robust, antibody‐mimetic platforms to overcome the blood‐brain barrier. The article surveys nanoMIP design and ligand‐directed surface engineering that harness receptor‐mediated transcytosis, and highlights therapeutic and diagnostic applications in neurodegeneration, brain tumors and ...

Human Proteoglycan Linkage Region Glycosyltransferases are Dimeric and Show Unexpected Specificities

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 3, 16 January 2026.
Non‐canonical glycopeptides of the proteoglycan linkage region are accessible by the enzymes B3GalT6 and GlcAT‐1 confirming a recently discovered rescue mode in glycosaminoglycan (GAG) biosynthesis. The crystal structure of B3GalT6 revealed a covalent dimer linked by a disulfide. Abstract We selected the N,O‐glycosylated proteoglycan bikunin as a model

Efficacy, Safety and Biological Characteristics of Formulation Based on Essential Oil Against Co‐Infections of Herpes Simplex Virus‐1 and Candida albicans

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 1, February 2026.
Essential oils with anti‐HSV‐1 activity were identified through literature review and tested against Candida to develop a formulation for co‐infections. The blend was assessed for anti‐inflammatory properties, allergenic potential via standardized BAT, and overall antiviral efficacy.

Revisiting Hyaluronan Catabolism in Bacteroides: Pathway Conservation, Overlooked Proteins, and Predictive Accuracy

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 1, February 2026.
Hyaluronan degradation in Bacteroides cannot be reliably predicted from canonical PL8/GH88 enzymes alone. Experimental validation reveals coordinated induction of noncanonical accessory proteins (BT4410/BT4411), highlighting pathway plasticity and context‐dependent glycosaminoglycan utilization. ABSTRACT The ability of gut microbes to degrade host‐ and

Novel Wide‐Spectrum Virucidal Lipid Nanoparticles

Small, Volume 22, Issue 7, 2 February 2026.
POSTAN is a novel broad‐spectrum antiviral nanoparticle that combines safety with potent virucidal activity. Composed of biocompatible lipids, it mimics heparan sulfate proteoglycans and lipid rafts exploited by viruses, thereby dismantling viral envelopes and blocking replication.

CLEC18A interacts with sulfated glycosaminoglycans and controls clear cell renal cell carcinoma progression

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 3, Page 709-728, February 2026.
CLEC18A is a previously poorly characterized C‐type lectin. We mapped the expression of CLEC18A to the proximal tubule of the kidney and found CLEC18A to interact with sulfated glycosaminoglycans on proteoglycans. Furthermore, we found that CLEC18A plays an important role in hindering the progression of clear cell renal cell carcinomas in humans and in

Bacterial porphyrins in healthy skin: Microbiota components impact melanogenesis and age‐related processes leading to Porphyr'ageing

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, Volume 48, Issue 1, Page 186-199, February 2026.
Porphyrins, previously linked only to acne inflammation, are now implicated in skin ageing. Their presence correlates with increased melanin, inflammation, and oxidative stress, contributing to premature ageing signs. This study introduces the concept of “Porphyr'ageing,” highlighting the detrimental effects of bacterial metabolites on skin health and ...

Exosomes in Hypertrophic Scars and Keloids: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Potentials—A Narrative Review

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, Volume 25, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Hypertrophic scars and keloids, types of pathological scars, arise from dysregulated wound healing, marked by abnormal fibroblast activation and excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition. Current treatments have high recurrence rates and side effects, necessitating targeted therapies. Exosomes, extracellular vesicles mediating
