Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 16, 18 March 2026.An evolutionary molecular dynamics platform is used to design P1.6, a membrane‐active peptide that senses lipid packing defects in viral envelopes. P1.6 adopts a stabilized α‐helical structure upon membrane contact, disrupts virus‐like liposomes, and damages HIV‐1 particles.

The Genetic Basis of Color Polymorphism in the Orb‐Web Spider Gasteracantha cancriformis
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.This study investigates the genetic basis of coloration in the polymorphic spider Gasteracantha cancriformis using RNA‐seq data from different female color morphs. We assembled a reference transcriptome and identified differentially expressed genes associated with known pigmentation pathways, including carotenoids, melanin, ommochromes, and pteridines.

Small, Volume 22, Issue 16, 17 March 2026.Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising candidates for next‐generation antibiotics, acting through mechanisms such as membrane disruption and intracellular targeting. This review examines how variations in bacterial membrane composition critically influence AMP activity.

Ku80 cooperates with CBP to promote COX-2 expression and tumor growth. [PDF]
, 2015 Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) plays an important role in lung cancer development and progression. Using streptavidin-agarose pulldown and proteomics assay, we identified and validated Ku80, a dimer of Ku participating in the repair of broken DNA double ...

Community‐level effects of Müllerian mimicry on pollinator diversity and functioning
Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 599-610, March 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Müllerian mimicry, a mutualistic interaction in which harmful species evolve similar warning signals, is often accompanied by niche divergence among mimetic species. While these aspects have traditionally been studied in an evolutionary context, their community‐level ...
