PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 639-653, March 2026.Heavy metal contamination of soils poses a serious threat to ecosystem health and food security worldwide. This study investigated how native plants, such as Artemisia annua and Buddleja davidii, interact with soil microbes in Pb–Zn waste slag areas. We found that these plants stimulate microbes, which improve phosphorus availability and reduce metal ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 530-555, March 2026.Plants, like humans, have a microbiome that helps them grow, defend themselves against pathogens, acquire nutrients, and protect themselves against environmental stresses. The microbiome of tomatoes, a staple crop grown worldwide, could be utilized not only to reduce fertilizer and pesticide applications, but also to clean up harmful pollutants ...

Post‐translational regulation of human D‐3‐phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase in Alzheimer's disease
Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Emerging evidence suggests that sex‐specific differences in L‐serine (L‐Ser) metabolism play a key role in Alzheimer's disease (AD). While disruptions in amino acid balance are well known, recent findings point to a dimorphic regulation of the serine biosynthetic pathway.

Hydroxyapatite dissolution kinetics: The effects of molecular configurations of six carboxylic acids
Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 2, March/April 2026.Abstract Phosphorus (P) availability in calcareous soils is limited by the low solubility of calcium phosphate minerals, such as hydroxyapatite (HAP). Carboxylic acid‐promoted dissolution of HAP is well‐known. However, it is not clearly understood how the composition and orientation of functional groups (e.g., carboxyl and β‐hydroxyl group) in ...

Adaptive Significance of Nickel Hyperaccumulation by Plants
Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 2, March 2026.Metal hyperaccumulation may enhance plant fitness through multiple, non‐exclusive mechanisms, including elemental defense against herbivores and pathogens, altered pollinator interactions, and increased reproductive performance in metal‐rich soils. Metals may also affect plant–plant interactions via elemental allelopathy and improve stress tolerance ...
