Plasma Membrane Remodeling During Microglial Activation: A Hypothesis Linking Microglial Shape and Lipid Droplet Formation

Glia, Volume 74, Issue 8, August 2026.
Microglial morphology changes in response to damage by Aβ and aging result in significant reductions in cell surface area. Transcriptomic analyses suggest that fatty acid synthesis and triacylglycerol formation drive redistribution of surface membrane into intracellular lipid droplets.

Astrocytes in Genetic Epilepsies: Supporting Actor or Key Player?

Journal of Neuroscience Research, Volume 104, Issue 8, August 2026.
Astrocytes contribute to the pathophysiology of acquired epilepsy. However, less is known about their contribution to genetic epilepsy syndromes which often exhibit frequent comorbidity with neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders. Epileptic seizures are also frequently present in neurodevelopmental disorders.

Metabolic Regulation of Macrophages in Health and Disease

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Extracellular metabolites drive metabolic rewiring of glucose, lipid, and amino acid pathways in macrophages, steering their polarization toward pro‐ or anti‐inflammatory phenotypes and shaping a wide range of disease processes. Macrophages from different tissues display distinct metabolic signatures, and therapeutic strategies that target these ...

The Role of Inflammation and Immunity in Cardiovascular Disease: Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Targets

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Inflammation in cardiovascular disease is a dynamic and context‐dependent network rather than a secondary response to injury. Mitochondrial danger signaling links metabolic stress to immune activation through TLR priming, NLRP3 inflammasome amplification, cGAS–STING signaling, and immunometabolic gating, providing a basis for more precise therapeutic ...

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Molecular Pathogenesis and Therapeutic Interventions

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
This graphical summary illustrates the multiorgan therapeutic landscape for Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), integrating molecular pathogenesis with modern treatment strategies. It depicts how current interventions, including SGLT2 inhibitors, GLP‐1 receptor agonists, and insulin secretagogues, target key organs—kidney, pancreas, gastrointestinal tract,

Modeling the lung‒brain axis in critical illness: Multifactorial crosstalk through organoids and organ‐on‐a‐chip system

VIEW, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Patients in intensive care units often experience lung injuries, complicated by brain problems. Advanced laboratory tools, organoids, and organs‐on‐chips facilitated the study of multiorgan interactions, help us understand the communication between the lungs and brain.

Analgesic effects of alpha‐2‐adrenoreceptor agonists in equine medicine: systemic, spinal, and local applications

Equine Veterinary Education, Volume 38, Issue 8, Page 442-452, August 2026.
Summary Alpha‐2‐adrenoreceptor agonists provide analgesia when used as sole agents but can also be used in combination with other drugs for their additive and potentially synergistic effects. Further, because of their effects on blood flow, alpha‐2‐adrenoreceptor agonists act to extend and perhaps intensify the effects of drugs, such as local ...

Physiological mechanisms and therapeutic targets in chronic cough

Physiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 15, August 2026.
Abstract Cough is a vital defensive reflex that safeguards the airways; however, it can become maladaptive and pathological. Chronic cough (>8 weeks in duration) affects up to 10% of the global adult population and is associated with considerable health status impairment. The understanding of cough physiology remains limited.

Light‐Activated Communication Between Synthetic and Living Cells via Photoresponsive Membranes

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 14, 29 July 2026.
Light‐triggered membrane rupture of SCs enables controlled release of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and histamine, which activate purinergic and histaminergic signaling in HeLa cells, leading to intracellular Ca2+ mobilization. This biomimetic communication platform provides a simple strategy for engineering remotely controlled chemical signaling ...
