Biopolymers, Volume 117, Issue 2, March 2026.A non‐destructive method for depleting sulfates from the red microalgae Porphyridium cruentum by directly exposing the growth medium to a moderate electric field has been developed. The reported electric‐field separation method is a simple, straightforward, and non‐toxic means for the direct recovery of desulfated polysaccharides from P.

Sequential Varicella and Herpes Zoster in an Immunocompetent Adult
Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Varicella and herpes zoster, caused by primary infection and reactivation of varicella‐zoster virus (VZV) respectively, can present with a wide spectrum of cutaneous and systemic complications. This case highlights an uncommon sequential presentation of varicella and zoster in an immunocompetent adult in noncontiguous dermatomes and emphasizes

Theoretical Insights Into the Viral Protein–Metal Interaction Mechanisms for Antiviral Applications
ChemistryEurope, Volume 4, Issue 3, March 2026.The atomic‐level understanding of the metal–protein interactions is still unclear to further improve the performance of noble metals in protein modifications. This work supplies critical theoretical insights from the atomic level to demonstrate the interaction behaviors between selective SARS‐CoV‐2 Spike protein fragments and Ag/Au.

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 56, Issue 3, March 2026.Immunoglobulin products derived from pooled global plasma reflect population‐level antiviral immunity. Analysis of batches from 2017 to 2023 reveals pandemic‐driven shifts in viral antibody profiles and a concurrent rise in autoantibodies, notably against TRIM21/Ro52, highlighting links between SARS‐CoV‐2, immunity debt, and autoimmunity.
