Rethinking plastic waste: innovations in enzymatic breakdown of oil‐based polyesters and bioplastics
FEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 4, Page 653-669, April 2026.Plastic pollution remains a critical environmental challenge, and current mechanical and chemical recycling methods are insufficient to achieve a fully circular economy. This review highlights recent breakthroughs in the enzymatic depolymerization of both oil‐derived polyesters and bioplastics, including high‐throughput protein engineering, de novo ...

Brain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.Connectome predictive modeling (CPM) revealed reduced functional connectivity linked to cognitive underperformance in children with β‐thalassemia major (β‐TM), which appeared to be modulated by multiple hematological factors. ABSTRACT Purpose This study aimed to identify functional brain connectivity patterns associated with cognitive performance in ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.We introduce ENHYDROSS, a new mechanistic model that uses optimal swimming speed and minimum cost of transport to estimate maximum dispersal distances and durations for vertebrates, enabling assessment of long‐distance oceanic dispersal potential. Applied to a range of extant and extinct animals, the model's estimates generally align with observed data;

Diatoms–copepods: An evolutionary arms race
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Diatoms and copepods are dominating and diverse groups of phytoplankton and zooplankton, respectively. Diatoms account for 25–40% of ocean primary production, and their main predators, copepods, are arguably the most abundant group of metazoans in the ocean, typically accounting for ~ 80% of zooplankton biomass.

Molecular Genetics &Genomic Medicine, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.Whole‐exome sequencing candidate CLIC5 and NEFM for cerebellar ataxia (CA) onset. In vivo studies exclude CLIC5, while in silico analysis and literature review support NEFM as a candidate gene for CA. These findings could be useful for advancing the genetic diagnosis of hereditary pure CA. Created in https://BioRender.com.
