Fish Scales: A Multifunctional Biomaterial from Nature

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 9, Issue 5, September 2026.
Fish scales demonstrate nature's solution to impact protection through overlapping multilayered architecture. This biological design combines mineralized surfaces with collagen networks to achieve both flexibility and fracture resistance. The structural principles inspire advanced protective materials and biomedical implants, where damage tolerance ...

Ultrastructure of Vitellogenic Ovarian Follicles and Morphogenesis of the Oocyte Envelope in the Eurasian Ruffe (Gymnocephalus cernua Linnaeus 1758) (Teleostei, Perciformes)

open access: yesJournal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 9, September 2026.
Ruffe's vitellogenic ovarian follicles consists of a single oocyte surrounded by follicular cells, a basal lamina, and thecal cells. The oocytes are polarized and covered by a primary envelope. The follicular cells diversify into micropylar and mainbody cells. The latter have dark and bright cytoplasms.

ACE‐inhibitory peptide Leu‐Tyr‐Ala in skeletal muscle actin exhibits anti‐aging effects through the inhibition of acn‐1 in Caenorhabditis elegans

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 12, Page 7002-7014, September 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Inhibitors of angiotensin‐converting enzyme (ACE) are used in pharmaceuticals and functional foods. Captopril, a well‐known ACE inhibitor, extends the lifespan of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Bioactive peptides derived from food sources are considered safe ACE inhibitors.

Nanotechnology‐Based Immunostimulants in Aquaculture: Mechanisms, Advances and Practical Applications

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
Nano‐immunostimulants improve fish health through targeted and controlled delivery of immunostimulatory compounds. Biodegradable polymeric and lipid‐based nanocarriers enhance immune responses, bioavailability and disease resistance while reducing antibiotic dependence and environmental impact.

Complex mutation at a microsatellite locus in sturgeons: Acipenser sinensis, A-schrenckii, A-gueldenstaedtii and A-baerii

open access: yes, 2005
Cross-species amplifications of microsatellite locus Spl-106, which was originally screened from the genome of shovelnose sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus platorynchus) with a perfect TAGA repeat motif, were carried out in four other species of the genera ...

Two Paralogues as They Like It: Conserved and Divergent Evolution of Vertebrate Gcm Genes

open access: yesEvolution &Development, Volume 28, Issue 3, September 2026.
Comparative overview of Gcm1 and Gcm2 paralogues across vertebrates. Gcm2 is conserved in pharyngeal‐derived organs across gnathostomes, whereas Gcm1 shows lineage‐specific diversification from an ancestral pharyngeal context, including secondary loss in teleosts, distinct expression in bichir gills and skin, and broader expression in mammals ...

Integrated gut microbiome and serum metabolomics analysis to reveal seawater adaptation strategy in Chinese sturgeon

open access: yesAquaculture Reports
The structure of the fish gut microbiota changes with variations in the living environment, including salinity, which has been regarded as the most important environmental change factor in the transition of Chinese sturgeons, Acipenser sinensis, from ...
