Dietary Terpenoids in Advancing Biofilm‐Mediated Cancer Prevention: Antibiofilm Cascade, Molecular Crosstalk, and Nano‐Facilitated Functional Delivery

Cell Biochemistry and Function, Volume 44, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The role of microbes in cancer is gaining attention these days, especially in the context of tumor‐associated biofilms and dysbiotic microbiota. Biofilm‐producing microorganisms, such as Fusobacterium nucleatum and Helicobacter pylori, trigger oncogenic inflammation and immune evasion in tumor initiation and progression, and in the development

A case of iatrogenic transmission of vascular Aß40 amyloid [PDF]

Alzheimers Dement
Abstract Background Iatrogenic cerebral amyloid angiopathy (iCAA) has recently been reported in relatively young adults who received cadaveric dural grafts or neurosurgery during childhood. More than 80 cases of iCAA have been reported; however, insufficient detail regarding Aß40 amyloid transmission was provided in these reports.

Genetically Engineered Nanobody–Recombinant Antibody Colloidal Gold Strip for Ultrasensitive Atrazine Detection in Fruits and Vegetables

Food Safety and Health, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 737-748, July 2026.
A sensitive colloidal gold immunochromatographic assay for atrazine was successfully established using genetically engineered nanobody‐recombinant antibody, which overcame the shortcomings of traditional antigen‐antibody. ABSTRACT Colloidal gold immunochromatography (CG‐ICA) is distinguished by its cost‐effectiveness and rapid detection capabilities ...

Automated Scoring of Creative Achievement

The Journal of Creative Behavior, Volume 60, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The assessment of creative achievement (CA) can be cumbersome as participants are typically asked to respond to long lists of possible accomplishments that may still miss their very specific achievements. A bottom‐up alternative is to let participants openly report their most significant CAs, which, however, involves more complex scoring such ...
