Targeted β‐Glucan‐Veiled Oral Apremilast Nanotherapy Modulates Key Dysbiosis‐Associated Gut Microbiota and Alleviates Ulcerative Colitis‐Associated Anxiety, Depression, and Neuropsychiatric Behaviors

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 55, 5 October 2026.
This study introduces β‐glucan‐shielded apremilast laden nanomicelles that withstand gastrointestinal degradation, selectively accumulate in inflamed colon tissue, and modulate the microbiota–gut–brain axis. The formulation restores barrier integrity, reduces systemic and neuroinflammation, and improves anxiety‐ and depression‐like behaviors in colitis

Protein‐Ratio Rheostats: Integrating Stoichiometry, Abundance, and Binding Affinity in Cellular Function

BioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 10, October 2026.
Relative protein composition can act as a rheostat by altering molecular assembly within defined abundance and binding regimes. MicroRNAs, translation, and selective degradation can reshape protein composition, influencing signaling, apoptosis, development, and disease.

Brewing Anxiety: Caffeine‐Induced Thigmotaxis in Zebrafish Larvae

Brain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Thigmotaxis, or edge preference, is widely used as a measure of anxiety in vertebrate model systems. However, variability in this behavior limits its utility as a scalable measure for anxiolytic drug discovery. In the current study, we examine caffeine‐induced thigmotaxis, using 5‐day‐old zebrafish larvae as a model system.

Impaired Motor Function in a Zebrafish Stathmin‐2 Knockout Model

Developmental Neurobiology, Volume 86, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Stathmin‐2 (STMN2) is a microtubule‐associated protein that plays a role in the stability of microtubules in axons of the nervous system of animals. In this study, we generated a novel zebrafish STMN2 knockout (KO) model. STMN2 is represented by two genes in the zebrafish genome: stmn2a and stmn2b.

Müller Glia–Vasculature Interactions in the Developing Retina

Glia, Volume 74, Issue 10, October 2026.
Retinal vascular layers form normally despite loss of cholinergic retinal waves. Müller glial processes contact endothelial tip cells early and form Aquaporin‐4‐enriched endfeet. Glial endfoot calcium signals are compartmentalized and occur largely independently of neural activity. ABSTRACT Coordinated signaling among neurons, glia, and the vasculature

Small Molecule Therapeutic Approaches With a Greater Focus on Hearing Loss: A Review

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Hearing loss (HL) is one of the most common sensory impairments worldwide and has substantial effects on quality of life and daily functioning. Although cochlear implants and hearing aids have markedly improved the management of hearing impairment, these devices do not directly address the underlying pathogenic mechanisms ...

Genetic and Pharmacologic Inhibition of Myostatin Restores Muscle Mass in a Dynamin 2‐Related Centronuclear Myopathy Mouse Model

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Autosomal dominant centronuclear myopathy (ADCNM), most commonly caused by mutations in the dynamin 2 (DNM2) gene, is a rare congenital myopathy characterized by progressive muscle weakness and atrophy. Myostatin, a key negative regulator of skeletal muscle mass, has shown therapeutic potential in several models of neuromuscular ...
