Lung Pericytes: Molecular Mechanisms, Signaling Pathways, and Roles in Pulmonary Diseases

Comprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 4, August 2026.
Central role of pericytes across major pulmonary diseases. Conceptual wheel diagram illustrating the central role of lung pericytes across diverse pulmonary disease states. A pericyte positioned at the center expresses canonical markers, including PDGFRβ, CD146, and NG2, and connects radially to five major disease contexts.

Targeted Interventions in HAM/TSP: Emerging Therapies and Future Directions – A Narrative Review

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aim Human T‐Lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV‐1) infection can lead to HTLV‐1‐associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP), a debilitating chronic neurological disease characterized by progressive lower limb spasticity and autonomic dysfunction.

SNHG15 Positively Regulates Influenza Virus Infection Through Its Association With miR‐153 and RABL2A

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Influenza viruses cause seasonal epidemics, and current vaccines do not fully protect against them. This study focuses on long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs), which are RNA molecules that do not code for proteins but play crucial roles in various biological processes. We identified 17 lncRNAs altered by the influenza virus.

Investigation of PDCD1 Gene Polymorphisms and Haplotypes in COVID‐19 Severity and Outcome in a Brazilian Population

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT COVID‐19 severity and survival are influenced by the host immune response to SARS‐CoV‐2. Programmed cell death 1 (PD‐1), a key immune checkpoint, regulates T‐cell activation and antiviral immune balance. Since genetic variability can modulate these responses, we investigated whether the PDCD1 polymorphisms rs11568821 C > T, rs2227982 G > A ...

Host–Guest Interactions Govern Drug Stability and Controlled Therapeutic Release: Based on Metal–Organic Frameworks as Smart Platforms

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Due to their exceptional porosity, structural versatility, and modular coordination chemistry, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as versatile platforms for targeted drug delivery. These structures enable fine‐tuning of pore size, surface activity, and framework stability for the encapsulation of a broad range of therapeutics ...

Engineered Bacterial Membranes as Next‐Generation Platforms for Cancer Immunotherapy

Small Science, Volume 6, Issue 8, August 2026.
Engineered bacterial membrane platforms, including outer membrane vesicles, bacterial ghosts, genetically engineered membranes, and hybrid bacterial–tumor membranes, integrate tumor antigen presentation with intrinsic immune stimulation. These platforms promote dendritic‐cell activation, T‐cell priming, pyroptosis, and synergistic responses with ...

Cultural geography of heat: Artistic experiments with heat’s animacies

Geographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 3, August 2026.
A sustained, cultural geographical engagement with heat is long overdue. I advance this agenda by engaging with the work of contemporary artists. Artists are responding to uneven conditions of global heating by exploring heat’s animacies: how heat interweaves with the practices and textures of life.
