Circulatory pro‐CTSD binds brain endothelial LRP1 to trigger its lysosomal degradation leading to amyloid beta clearance deficit in Alzheimer's disease mice

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract INTRODUCTION Clearance of cerebral Aβ was primarily mediated by the brain endothelial transporters including LRP1. The regulatory mechanism of LRP1 expression remained unclear. METHODS LRP1 in brain endothelial cells treated with pro‐CTSD were analyzed by western blot.

Association of oral health related subjective quality of life and severity of negative symptoms of treatment-resistant schizophrenia: a cross-sectional study in Croatia

European Psychiatry
Introduction Patients diagnosed with schizophrenia, particularly those with severe negative symptoms (NS) and treatment resistant schizophrenia (TRS), have poorer oral health than the general population, which can have serious consequences beyond oral ...

Surgical outcome of laparoscopic hepatic resection for hepatocellular carcinoma: A matched case–control study with propensity score matching

Journal of Minimal Access Surgery, 2018
Background: Although the number of reports on laparoscopic hepatic resection (LHR) has increased, studies of long-term outcomes regarding tumor recurrence and patient survival compared to the conventional open approach are limited.

Prevalence and genotype screening of human papillomavirus among women attending a private hospital in Northern Cyprus: an 11-year retrospective study

BMC Women's Health, 2023
Background Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted pathogen both in men and women. Accumulating epidemiological evidence supports a strong association between HPV infection and cancer of the cervix, vulva, vagina, anus, and ...

Plant and soil elemental coupling in response to experimentally altered precipitation and root herbivory in an Australian grassland

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.
This work provides novel experimental evidence on how chemical elements in plants and soils respond to changes in precipitation regimes and shifts in plant–animal interactions (root herbivory), moving the focus from changes in plant and soil elements to the way in which such elements are coordinated.

Beech decline reshapes fine root traits, microbial composition and soil carbon–nutrient cycling

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study highlights the critical role of rhizosphere interactions in nutrient cycling and tree health. It was found that tree decline triggers cascading effects that influence fine root, microbial communities and soil enzyme activities in the rhizosphere.

Enzymatic Poly(gallic acid)‐grafted L‐Histidine Reduces Cell Inflammation and Oxidative Stress: In Silico and In Vitro Studies

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 4, April 2026.
Microwave‐assisted grafting yields a PGAL–His conjugate with enhanced binding through electrostatic and hydrogen‐bond interactions. The material modulates THP‐1 macrophage response, reducing ROS production, pro‐inflammatory cytokines (IL‐6, IL‐1β, TNF‐α), and cell adhesion.

Ecotypic Identity and Manipulated Rainfall Modulate Diversity‐Productivity Relationships Across a Precipitation Gradient

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Understanding how diversity‐productivity relationships vary across environmental contexts is critical for predicting grassland responses to climate change and guiding restoration. Using a reciprocal common garden experiment across a Great Plains rainfall gradient, we found that aboveground live biomass was the strongest predictor of species ...
