Conkazal‐M1 from the MKAVA family of conotoxins: A dual‐function protease inhibitor and neuroactive peptide

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Marine cone snails produce a diverse array of bioactive peptides, known as conotoxins, in their venom. Given their high target potency and specificity, conotoxins are attractive compounds for the development of precision research tools and pharmacological agents.

A Whole‐Genome Investigation of Mitonuclear Discordance in the Trematode Parasite Atriophallophorus winterbourni

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 10, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Faster evolution of mitochondrial genomes relative to nuclear genomes creates selective pressure on nuclear genes involved in mitochondrial function to preserve mitonuclear compatibility required for energy production. In isolated populations, such coevolution occurs independently.

Fair and Square: Design, Synthesis and Biological Evaluations of Squaric Acid Derivatives as Novel HDAC8 Inhibitors

open access: yesChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Histone deacetylase 8 (HDAC8) is a clinically validated target in neuroblastoma, where isoform selective inhibition offers a strategy to suppress tumour growth while limiting off‐target toxicity. Hydroxamic acids remain the dominant zinc‐binding group (ZBG) in HDAC inhibitors but are also associated with metabolic instability, suboptimal ...

Parasitic Infections and Associated Cognitive Outcome Among School‐Aged Children in Africa: A Systematic Review

open access: yesBrain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Parasitic infections like schistosomiasis, soil‐transmitted helminths, and malaria can impair nutrient absorption, oxygen supply, and brain function, leading to memory deficits, attention deficits, reduced intelligence quotient, weak academic performance, and motor or executive deficits.

Alternative Approaches and Plant‐Based Remedies for Livestock Health Management Among the Batswana of Southern Africa: A Review

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Due to limited access to, and the high cost of conventional veterinary services, Batswana communities often rely on ethnoveterinary practices for livestock health management. This review provides an in‐depth analysis on the ethnoveterinary uses, biological properties and safety assessment of plants utilised in livestock husbandry. A systematic
