Expanding the MRPS34 Genotype–Phenotype Correlation: Two Novel Cases and a Cohort Review
JIMD Reports, Volume 67, Issue 4, July 2026.ABSTRACT MRPS34 encodes a mitoribosomal protein essential for mitochondrial translation. Biallelic pathogenic variants in MRPS34 cause Combined Oxidative Phosphorylation Deficiency 32 (COXPD32), a rare mitochondrial disorder within the Leigh syndrome spectrum (LSS), ranging from fatal in infancy to adult survival.

Extraordinary methane levels in a small bar‐built tropical estuary
Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 4, July 2026.Abstract Small estuaries link uplands and nearshore marine environments but are understudied in many regions. We quantified spatial and temporal variability in CH4, CO2, nutrients, and organic matter in a small, deep, bar‐built tropical estuary in Fajardo, Puerto Rico.

Inflammation Associated With Obesity, Aging, and Amyloid Burden in Adults With Down Syndrome
Obesity, Volume 34, Issue 7, Page 1457-1467, July 2026.ABSTRACT Objective Adults with Down syndrome (DS) often show elevated systemic inflammation, but the association with obesity, aging, and Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology is not well understood. Methods Data were drawn from 188 nondemented adults with DS participating in the Alzheimer Biomarkers Consortium‐DS (ABC‐DS). Participants completed clinical

Tracing holotype trajectories: Mapping the movement of the most valuable herbarium specimens
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1304-1321, July 2026.Global efforts to protect biodiversity depend on fair access to key plant specimens. This study examines the distribution of 119,361 holotypes—unique herbarium specimens used to formally describe new plant species. By linking collection and storage data, we found that holotypes are increasingly held closer to their places of origin, particularly in ...

An Information Geometry‐Based Method to Study Atmospheric and Seismic Phenomena With VLF Signals
Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract We propose to employ the framework of information geometry to detect anomalies in Very Low Frequency (VLF) and Low Frequency (LF) signal propagation, measured globally across amplitude and phase channels. Using a sliding‐window approach, the probability distributions of signal data are compared over adjacent intervals, defining a statistical ...
