The Cellular Response Capacity as Diagnostic Head Start in Neutrophil Endotoxemia Sensing

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 10, 31 May 2026.
This study introduces the neutrophil cellular response capacity (CRC), a flow‐cytometry‐based approach for detecting prior endotoxin exposure across the inflammatory continuum in human whole blood. By comparing baseline and ex vivo restimulated neutrophil marker expression, the CRC identified low‐dose LPS exposure with greater analytical sensitivity ...

Associations of Neprilysin and Its Coding Gene Variation With Hypertension in Chinese Adults

The Journal of Clinical Hypertension, Volume 28, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Neprilysin (NEP) degrades several vasoactive peptides and may contribute to blood pressure maintenance. This study aims to examine the associations between serum NEP levels and variants at its coding gene and hypertension in a general Chinese population.

Differential Properties of Venom Peptides and Proteins in Solitary vs. Social Hunting Wasps

Toxins, 2016
The primary functions of venoms from solitary and social wasps are different. Whereas most solitary wasps sting their prey to paralyze and preserve it, without killing, as the provisions for their progeny, social wasps usually sting to defend their ...

The Genetic Basis of Color Polymorphism in the Orb‐Web Spider Gasteracantha cancriformis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study investigates the genetic basis of coloration in the polymorphic spider Gasteracantha cancriformis using RNA‐seq data from different female color morphs. We assembled a reference transcriptome and identified differentially expressed genes associated with known pigmentation pathways, including carotenoids, melanin, ommochromes, and pteridines.

Honokiol and Magnolol Exert an Anti‐Inflammatory Effect by Inhibiting JAK2/STAT3/IL17 Signalling in a Rat Model of Ulcerative Colitis: A Combination of Bioinformatics and Experimental Study

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 30, Issue 6, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic, inflammatory bowel disease with limited clinical treatment. Traditional Chinese medicinal ingredients honokiol and magnolol have potential anti‐inflammatory and gastrointestinal protective effects. However, their anti‐inflammatory potential has not been investigated in UC.
