Light‐Based Molecular Tools to Precisely Monitor and Operate β‐Adrenoceptors
Medicinal Research Reviews, Volume 46, Issue 2, Page 445-474, March 2026.ABSTRACT β‐Adrenoceptors are important G protein–coupled receptors involved in cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurological regulation. To study their function with high precision, light‐based molecular tools have been developed offering precise spatiotemporal control.

Human Cyclophilins—An Emerging Class of Drug Targets
Medicinal Research Reviews, Volume 46, Issue 2, Page 475-512, March 2026.ABSTRACT Cyclophilins are a family of enzymes with peptidyl‐prolyl isomerase activity found in all cells of all organisms. To date, 17 cyclophilin isoforms have been identified in the human body, participating in diverse biological processes. Consequently, cyclophilins have emerged as promising targets for drug development to address a wide array of ...

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 2, Page 503-519, March 2026.We investigated the role of vision in host‐seeking behaviour by Philaenus spumarius, the main European vector of Xylella fastidiosa, through an integrated anatomical, optical, physiological, and behavioural study. Our data highlight that the spittlebug uses visual cues, including polarized light, which may aid in detecting the polarized reflections ...

Visual Function Assessment in Geographic Atrophy: A Review
Clinical &Experimental Ophthalmology, Volume 54, Issue 2, Page 260-274, March 2026.ABSTRACT Geographic atrophy (GA) causes significant vision impairment and reduction in vision‐related quality of life. Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) is the gold standard of structural assessment of GA but is a surrogate marker for vision loss, which can be assessed by tests of visual function and functional vision.
