Current Protocols, Volume 6, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Alveolar epithelial cell type 1 (AT1) and type 2 (AT2) cells make up the saccular gas exchange units of the lung, called alveoli. Formation of alveoli during lung development accounts for the expansive surface area of the lung, allowing for proper respiration and delivery of oxygen to the body.

Ecological Trap in the Nest: Human Hair Causes the Death of Breeding Barn Swallows (Hirundo rustica)
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.The prevalence of anthropogenic materials in barn swallows (Hirundo rustica) nests and their association with entanglement injury or mortality was studied. We report for the first time that hair incorporated into nests can cause entanglement mortality in barn swallows.

Single‐Cell Nanodroplet Processing Proteomics Pipeline for Analysis of Human‐Derived Microglia
PROTEOMICS, Volume 26, Issue 5, Page 59-68, May 2026.ABSTRACT Single‐cell omics tools provide unique insights into heterogeneous cell populations and their responses to stimuli. For example, single‐cell RNA sequencing has identified several transcriptionally distinct populations of microglia, which are resident immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS) that are responsive to CNS injury, infection,

Phosphate‐ and pH‐dependent self‐assembly of recombinant spider silk proteins
Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract The process of molecular self‐assembly is an omnipresent mechanism in nature to generate a variety of efficient and functional hierarchical architectures, and inspires tailored material design and development. Thereby, self‐assembly is based on a controlled interplay and association of monomers into highly ordered structures triggered by ...

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.A 2‐year‐old female golden hamster presented with non‐pruritic alopecia of the hindquarters. Diagnostic imaging and cytological evaluation revealed a unilateral adrenal mass consistent with an adrenocortical tumour, while biochemical analyses suggested corticosteroid secretion.
