Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
FEBS Letters, Volume 600, Issue 17, Page 2547-2563, September 2026.This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy in Bionanotechnology: Current Advances and Future Perspectives
Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 51, 11 September 2026.Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) enables the nanoscale mapping of electrostatic surface potentials. While widely applied in materials science, its use in biological systems remains emerging. This review presents recent advances in KPFM applied to biological samples and provides a critical perspective on current limitations and future directions for

American Journal of Human Biology, Volume 38, Issue 9, September 2026.ABSTRACT Climate change is having significant demographic and health impacts on human populations around the world. There is growing empirical evidence about the impacts of climate variability and change on population health, but this work has focused disproportionately on children and aggregate indicators of weight and (or) height.

The Baboon as a Model to Study Human Health and Complex Disease
American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 9, September 2026.Baboons remain underappreciated as models of human biology and disease offering a distinct combination of biological and practical properties. In this review, we evaluate the baboon as a model for human complex diseases and make the case for broader use of baboons in translational research.
