European Ash (Fraxinus excelsior) as a Functional Keystone Species Shaping Woodland Flora in the UK

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Ash trees have distinct ecological attributes—their canopy allows a high level of light to penetrate and their foliage decomposes rapidly. Here we used woodland survey data to explore if the prevalence of ash trees has an impact on associated plant communities at a fine spatial scale.

Relationship of Inflammatory Biomarkers with Severity of Peripheral Arterial Disease

International Journal of Vascular Medicine, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Objective. The pentraxin family, including high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein (hs‐CRP), serum amyloid P (SAP), and pentraxin 3 (PTX3), has been identified as playing a key role in inflammatory reactions such as in atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. In this study, we examined the relationship between peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and serum

Characterization of the Omnivorous Lygus lineolaris Diet in a Strawberry Field by Metataxonomy

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study employs metataxonomy to reveal the extensive omnivorous diet of Lygus lineolaris in a strawberry field, identifying 475 host taxa and confirming active ingestion across plant and prey sources. We introduce a novel coefficient of omnivory, demonstrating the species' strong herbivorous bias while highlighting its dietary flexibility and ...

Intravascular Coagulation: The Cause of Necrotic Arachnidism

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1973
Venom from the brown recluse spider (Loxosceles reclusa) when injected into the skin of rabbits causes a characteristic inflammatory necrotic ulcer, comparable to the natural necrotic spider bite seen in man. In the rabbit the progressive hemorrhage and painful necrosis of the skin are associated with thrombocytopenia, fibrinogenemia, and prolongation ...

Animal Venoms as Peptide Libraries for the Discovery of Antiglioblastoma Agents

Biochemistry Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive and widely recognized types of brain tumors, characterized by significant cellular and molecular diversity and an inherently aggressive nature. The treatment remains highly challenging, with limited effectiveness and persistently low survival rates.

Scorpion Peptides: Potential Use for New Drug Development

Journal of Toxicology, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Several peptides contained in scorpion fluids showed diverse array of biological activities with high specificities to their targeted sites. Many investigations outlined their potent effects against microbes and showed their potential to modulate various biological mechanisms that are involved in immune, nervous, cardiovascular, and neoplastic diseases.

Commodity risk assessment of oak and walnut logs from the US

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The European Commission submitted to the EFSA Panel on Plant Health a Dossier from the United States proposing the use of a vacuum–steam–heat treatment as a stand‐alone phytosanitary measure to mitigate the risk of entry of Bretziella fagacearum, Geosmithia morbida and its vector Pityophthorus juglandis (thousand cankers disease complex) into ...
