Total synthesis and structural characterization of a novel protein scaffold from the snail Biomphalaria glabrata

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Disulfide‐rich miniproteins constitute compact and highly stable scaffolds of growing interest for molecular and structural engineering. Schistosomins are ~80‐residue proteins conserved across gastropods that form a long‐standing orphan family whose structure and biological roles have remained unknown.

Host‐associated chemical cues mediating host‐finding behaviour in the larval ectoparasitoid Cephalonomia tarsalis

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8459-8467, September 2026.
Host‐associated volatiles mediate host location in Cephalonomia tarsalis, with faecal odours from fourth‐instar larvae, particularly 1‐pentadecene, attracting females and supporting the biological control of stored‐product pest beetles. Abstract BACKGROUND Understanding how parasitoids locate their hosts is essential for improving the effectiveness of ...

Edible Insect Allergens: An Emerging Food Safety Challenge

Sustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 3, September 2026.
Allergic responses to edible insects arise via two main pathways: cross‐reactivity with homologous arthropod allergens and primary sensitization to edible insect proteins, both leading to IgE‐mediated immune activation. ABSTRACT Edible insects are increasingly promoted as sustainable protein sources; however, their allergenic potential remains a ...

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

Veterinary 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.

‘I, Me, Myself’: Selfhood and Melancholy in the Journals of Gertrude Savile (1697–1758)

Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 287-308, September 2026.
Abstract This article examines the journals of Gertrude Savile from 1727 in light of recent scholarship on early modern and eighteenth‐century melancholy. The concept had myriad associations with medicine, physiology, the imagination, and feeling, but questions remain about how melancholy during this period was considered by those outside the narrow ...

The selective degradation of PDE4B shortform, using a PROTAC, leads to inhibition of several hallmarks of cancer in HCT116 cells

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 18, Page 5516-5540, September 2026.
Background and Purpose Colorectal cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers worldwide, and novel precision medicine approaches are rapidly improving patient outcomes. Phosphodiesterase 4B (PDE4B) is a member of an enzyme family (PDE4) that hydrolyses intracellular cAMP to control spatial and temporal signalling cues.
