Ecology and evolution of pyrazines in insects

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1937-1959, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Chemical communication is the oldest and most widespread form of signalling among and within organisms. Among the many compounds involved in such communication, pyrazines – nitrogen‐containing heterocyclic molecules – are especially intriguing due to their widespread occurrence across the tree of life, from bacteria and fungi to insects and ...

GcrR in Streptococcus mutans Inhibits the Morphological Transition of Candida albicans Through Ras1–cAMP/PKA Pathway in the Cross‐Kingdom Biofilms

Molecular Oral Microbiology, Volume 41, Issue 4, Page 188-200, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The dual‐species biofilms formed by Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans exhibit enhanced cariogenic potential due to the production of extracellular polysaccharides (EPSs). The response regulator GcrR in S. mutans negatively regulates EPS synthesis, but its impact on dual‐species biofilms remains unclear.

Functional Mapping of Neurodevelopmental Disease Pathways to Key Neurodevelopmental Processes Represented in the Developmental Neurotoxicity In Vitro Testing Battery

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 37, 3 July 2026.
Human‐relevant methods are essential for modern chemical safety assessment. This study helps define the capabilities and boundaries of an in vitro testing battery for developmental neurotoxicity by exploring its biological applicability domain. By linking neurodevelopmental disease‐related pathways to key neurodevelopmental processes, the work enhances

Thermodynamic Evaluation of Dual Substrate Growth

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 123, Issue 7, Page 1825-1835, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Various C₁–C₂ compounds are increasingly available through electrochemical reduction of CO2. Although not always suitable as a sole substrate, these compounds can supplement a primary substrate like glucose to enhance microbial growth. Yet, the mechanisms underlying the effects of dual substrate consumption on growth rate and growth yield ...

Soybean‐Derived Exosome‐Like Nanovesicles Regulate Lipid Metabolism via Mitochondrial Biogenesis and UCP1/PGC‐1α Mediated Thermogenesis

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 4, July 2026.
Soybean‐derived exosome‐like nanovesicles suppress lipid accumulation of adipocytes via UCP1/PGC‐1α mediated thermogenesis pathway and boosting mitochondrial function. ABSTRACT Obesity has become an important public health concern in modern society. Plant‐derived exosome‐like nanovesicles are emerging as candidates for obesity intervention.

Investigation Into the Collection and Isolation Workflows of Extracellular Vesicles From Tears

Journal of Extracellular Biology, Volume 5, Issue 7, July 2026.
Sampling and isolation methodology shapes tear extracellular vesicle (tEV) composition, influencing housekeeping gene stability, tetraspanin expression, and cytokine levels. Contact lenses and Schirmer Strips provide complementary molecular signatures, while ExoQuick and ultracentrifugation differ in vesicle yield and surface properties.

Coumarins Disrupt Cell–Cell Communication and Virulence in Priority Pathogens: Targeting the PQS Signalling System in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 7, July 2026.
The selective nature through which coumarin compounds produced by different species of plants target PQS signalling in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and select for distinct phenotypic responses in key pathogenic organisms adds to the growing evidence of their utility as natural virulence suppressors. ABSTRACT Cell‐to‐cell communication in microbial systems is

Age‐Associated Senescence of Decidual Macrophages: A Key Mediator of Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes in Advanced Maternal Age

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 7, July 2026.
Decidual macrophages (DM) in advanced maternal age (AMA) exhibit FOXO3 deficiency‐driven senescence, further accelerated by elevated uterine IL‐6. This manifests as pro‐inflammatory polarization, increased senescence markers, reduced phagocytosis, and impaired trophoblast function.
