Hippocampal Chandelier Cells Modulate Seizure Susceptibility and Severity

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 4, 19 January 2026.
The axon initial segment (AIS), crucial for action potential initiation, serves as a prime locus for controlling network activity. Chandelier Cells (ChCs), evolved in the mammals, intricately target AISs, acting as gatekeepers for neuronal firing. Diminishing ChC input makes animals more prone to developing seizures, whereas fortifying this connection ...

Selection and Characterization of SARS‐CoV‐2 Spike Binding Clickmers

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 1, January 2026.
Split‐combine click‐systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment against wild‐type SARS‐CoV‐2 spike glycoprotein yields benzofuran‐ and indole‐functionalized DNA aptamers (clickmers). These clickmers retain specific binding to multiple variants with nanomolar affinity, and the 31 nt indole‐functionalized truncate T2 retains binding to ...

Divergent Nutrient Resorption Strategies in C4 Desert Shrubs: Stoichiometric Evidence From Assimilative Branches

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
We assessed interspecific differences in nutrient resorption efficiencies (N, P, K) of assimilative branches in three Calligonum species from the Junggar Desert. The results revealed distinct nutrient resorption strategies and scaling relationships among species, closely linked to both internal nutrient status and environmental factors.

Effect of Targeted Probiotics on Anesthesia‐Induced Sleep Disturbances via Modulating the Gut Microbiome and Metabolites

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
The diversity and abundance of the gut microbiome in rats were significantly disrupted following post‐anesthesia sleep disturbance. Lactobacillales and Bifidobacterium yogurt supplementations increased sleep quality considerably and the abundance of beneficial bacteria, while reducing wakefulness and wake‐related metabolites in the gut.
