From armadillos to sloths: Patterns and variations in xenarthran coronary anatomy

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 8, Page 2199-2220, August 2026.
Abstract Species of the superorder Xenarthra play a vital ecological role in the Neotropics. Despite their evolutionary significance, anatomical studies on their coronary circulation remain scarce. This study investigated the coronary anatomy of 82 hearts from nine Xenarthra species across the Dasypodidae, Myrmecophagidae, and Bradypodidae.

Unveiling New Insights: Reinterpreting DES Mutation, p.Arg383His, Through a Study of an Iranian Family With Isolated Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, Implication for Phenotype–Genotype Correlation Analysis

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Desmin, a crucial intermediate filament in muscle cells, maintains structural integrity in cardiac muscle and provides stability to striated muscle cells. Mutations in the DES gene lead to desminopathies, causing diverse cardiac and skeletal myopathies.

Comparative Neuroanatomy of Hydrothermal Vent Shrimps: Ecological Differentiation Among Four Alvinocaridid Species

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 534, Issue 8, August 2026.
Hydrothermal vent shrimps share a conserved brain architecture with enlarged mushroom bodies and terminal medullae, shaped by similar environmental pressures. Despite this similarity, some anatomical features near the brain vary between species, suggesting that some ecological factors, such as microhabitat and trophic strategies, also influence nervous

Heart‐Specific Spinal and Vagal Afferents: Transcriptomic Signatures and Optogenetically Modulated Functional Coupling With Cardiomyocytes

Comprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 4, August 2026.
Selective purification of heart‐specific spinal and vagal sensory neurons by retrograde labeling and FACS purification showed enhanced spontaneous, optogenetic, and chemically stimulated Ca2+ activity. Transcriptomic profiling identified distinct ion channel and GPCR signatures in heart‐specific sensory neurons.
