Bright spots for advancing ecological understanding and conservation decision‐making

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract A lot can be learned by studying bright spots—defined as unexpected positive outcomes. In fields like public health, education, and oncology, identifying factors behind bright spots reveals previously unknown drivers of success that can be replicated elsewhere.

Pleiotrophin deletion prevents high-fat diet-induced cognitive impairment, glial responses, and alterations of the perineuronal nets in the hippocampus

Neurobiology of Disease
Obesity and metabolic disorders, such as metabolic syndrome (MetS) facilitate the development of neurodegenerative diseases and cognitive decline. Persistent neuroinflammation plays an important role in this process. Pleiotrophin (PTN) is a cytokine that

Computational Insights into the Structural Basis for Reduced Hepatotoxicity of Novel Nonopioid Analgesics

ChemMedChem, Volume 20, Issue 22, November 18, 2025.
Docking and molecular dynamics simulations within CYP2E1 clarify the structural basis for the reduced hepatotoxicity of novel non‐opioid analgesics developed as safer alternatives to acetaminophen. The results reveal that hydrophobicity and substituent size critically influence binding conformations, thereby modulating toxicity.

Beirut 1830-1920, un ‘scalar fix’ en contextos cambiantes. Un estudio de caso explorando las teorías de re-escalamiento y urbanización extendida

Territorios en Formación, 2015
Los estudios urbanos están experimentado un discurso renovado sobre la producción del espacio urbano. Se aborda de nuevo la “cuestión urbana”, visto que el discurso existente es incapaz de explicar la producción de los actuales paisajes socioespaciales ...

Effects of Genetic Diversity on Health Status and Parasitological Traits in a Wild Fish Population Inhabiting a Coastal Lagoon

Animals
Host genetic variability is relevant to understanding how parasites modulate natural selection in wild fish populations. Coastal lagoons are transitional ecosystems where knowledge lacks on relationships between genotypic diversity with parasitism.
