Block Kinematics, Interseismic Coupling and Fault Slip Rates in the Aegean Region From GPS and Earthquake Slip Vector Data: 2. Hellenic Subduction System

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The Hellenic subduction system is the primary locus of Nubia‐Eurasia convergence, yet the distribution of strain accumulation along it is still debated. Here, we invert 832 geodetic velocities and 146 earthquake slip vectors to assess the spatial variability of interseismic locking and provide new constraints on the rate of slip deficit ...

Edulitin 2, a Ribotoxin‐Like Protein From Boletus edulis That Triggers Apoptosis in Colon Cancer Cells While Preserving the Integrity of the Intestinal Microbiota

open access: yeseFood, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
Edulitin 2 is a ribotoxin‐like protein exhibiting a potent antiproliferative activity towards Caco‐2 and HT29 cells by programmed cell death. However, edulitin 2 does not affect gut microbiota growth, despite damaging fungal ribosomes. ABSTRACT Porcini (Boletus edulis Bull.) are a reservoir of pharmacological biomolecules with health‐promoting ...

Soil Lead Risks Associated With Urbanization Histories in Springfield MA and Hartford CT, USA

open access: yesGeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Due to legacy leaded products, soil Pb is generally higher in older urban centers triggering substantial implications for environmental equity. By integrating a gridded soil Pb analysis of about 150 samples each in two historically industrial cities (Hartford, CT and Springfield, MA) with block‐level census data, we tested the hypotheses that (
