PRISM‐xQTL: Pleiotropic Relationships Integrated with System‐level Multiomic QTL analysis for causal genes and molecular mediators in Alzheimer's disease

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract INTRODUCTION Most Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk variants identified by genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) reside in noncoding regions, complicating causal interpretation. METHODS We developed PRISM‐xQTL (Pleiotropic Relationships Integrated with System‐level Multiomic QTL), integrating pleiotropy, co‐localization, Mendelian randomization ...

Uncovering the Key Factors Influencing Phytochemical and Phytopharmacological Properties During Medicinal Plant Processing

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
From farm to pharma, this review details the engineering of quality in medicinal plants through a science‐driven approach: it first elucidates how genetic and environmental factors inscribe the plant's phytochemical and phytopharmacological profile before harvest, and then dissects the postharvest techniques and technologies—chemical and thermal pre ...

Natural Reproductive Management in Sarda Sheep: Use of Cryptorchids to Induce a Ram-Effect in Ewes Destined for Artificial Insemination

Animals
Cryptorchidism is a genital defect in which ram testicles fail to descend, causing azoospermia, while maintaining normal behavior towards females. We investigated whether cryptorchid rams can induce a ram-effect in ewes that would then be subjected to ...

Assessing the context‐dependence of invasiveness in the Italian wall lizard (Podarcis siculus)

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 2, February 2026.
Although the Italian wall lizard (Podarcis siculus) is widely considered fully invasive, our study on Gorgona Island shows its spread is largely confined to human‐altered habitats. Native common wall lizards (P. muralis) persist in natural areas, indicating that Italian wall lizard invasiveness is context‐dependent and mediated by human‐altered ...

Climatic Variables and Virulence May Contribute to the Population Dynamics of Pyricularia oryzae at Local Scale

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 1, February 2026.
The Italian population structure of P. oryzae was analyzed using SSR genotyping to identify possible determinants shaping its local genetic diversity, including spatial, temporal, environmental, and biological factors. ABSTRACT Rice blast disease, caused by Pyricularia oryzae Cavara, is the most threatening rice pathogen in Italy.

Making Indigeneity: The Beekeeper’s Perspective

On_Culture, 2018
A new nationalistic concept of ‘autochthony’ has developed in Sardinia in recent decades, which has progressively intertwined with various territorial matters in seeking to affirm an alleged biological authenticity of Sardinia and Sardinians.
