Predation Under Heat Stress: The Significance of Body Size to the Outcome of an Acarine Predator–Prey Interaction

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
(A) The predator Phytoseiulus persimilis and its prey Tetranychus urticae were reared under mild or extreme heat waves from egg to adulthood, which resulted in asymmetrical thermal shifts of adult body sizes in favour of prey under extreme heat waves. (B) Single couples of adult predators and prey, reared under mild heat waves interacted at mild heat ...

Discovery of Capsazepine as a Novel MCL1 Inhibitor for Overcoming Tamoxifen Resistance in Breast Cancer Therapy

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
MCL1 in promoting tamoxifen resistance by inhibiting apoptosis. This study demonstrates that the compound CPZ, identified through virtual screening and validated by molecular docking and experiments, directly binds to MCL1. This binding restores apoptosis and inhibits tumor growth, thereby combating resistance to endocrine therapy in breast cancer ...

Mental health benefits of urban green—A systematic review and meta‐analysis of 56 pre‐post control experiments

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 808-834, April 2026.
Abstract Background. Fostering healthy urban living conditions is a critical public health objective. One efficient approach lies in the contact to nature, as numerous studies have shown that urban and peri‐urban natural elements both indoors and outdoors carry a large potential in buffering typical urban threats to mental health.
