Antipredatory Strategies of Anurans: An Updated Conceptual Review

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 9, Page 662-708, September 2026.
To unravel the evolutionary dynamics of predator–prey interactions, we propose an updated, three‐tiered classification of anuran antipredatory strategies. By mapping non‐behavioral, individual, and group defenses across five functional phases, this integrative framework introduces the concept of synergetic coupling.

Cellular and molecular features of asthma mucus plugs provide clues about their formation and persistence

The Journal of Clinical Investigation
BACKGROUND Mucus plugs form in acute asthma and persist in chronic disease. Although eosinophils are implicated in mechanisms of mucus pathology, many mechanistic details about mucus plug formation and persistence in asthma are unknown.METHODS Using ...

Carbocisteine Reduces Airway Mucus Obstruction and Alters Inflammatory Cell Populations in a Model of Muco‐Obstructive Lung Disease

Immunology &Cell Biology, Volume 104, Issue 8, Page 833-844, September 2026.
Mice with a muco‐obstructive lung disease phenotype were treated with the mucoactive drug, carbocisteine, which resulted in reduced airway mucus and an alteration in the lung mononuclear cell population which was either as a direct effect of, or secondary to, improved mucus clearance.

Efficacy and Safety of Mechanical Insufflation–Exsufflation in Invasively Ventilated Critically Ill Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Nursing in Critical Care, Volume 31, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Mechanical insufflation–exsufflation (MI–E) is increasingly used in invasively ventilated adults in the intensive care unit (ICU), yet its therapeutic efficacy and safety remain uncertain due to inconsistent evidence. Aim To synthesize evidence on the clinical efficacy and safety of MI–E in this population and to examine ...
