Small Extracellular Vesicle‐Derived Nidogen 1 Promotes HCC Carcinogenesis via Transglutaminase 3‐Mediated YAP/TAZ Signalling

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2026.
NID1‐rich sEVs released by HCC cells are internalized by recipient cells, where the C‐terminal region of NID1 binds to and stabilizes TGM3. This activates integrin‐FAK/Src/AKT and Hippo‐YAP/TAZ signalling, thereby promoting HCC proliferation, colony formation, migration, invasion, tumour growth, and lung metastasis.

Assessing trade‐off risk between crop production and vertebrate biodiversity in three African countries

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2796-2814, August 2026.
Abstract Governments worldwide are committed to eliminating hunger and conserving biodiversity, reflected in United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2 (Zero Hunger) and 15 (Life on Land). Expanding agricultural lands to meet growing food demands often threatens biodiversity, creating potential trade‐offs between these objectives. To understand the

Assessment of Sedative Activity of Protodioscin: In Vivo Approach Along With Receptor Binding Affinity and Molecular Interaction With GABAergic System

Progress in Neurology and Psychiatry, Volume 30, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT A frequent sleep issue called insomnia can lead to a number of disorders, including despair and anxiety. In order to cure insomnia, this study aims to evaluate the sedative effects of PRO in Swiss mice and use an in silico approach to look into the molecular processes at play. In our investigation, five mice were given oral PRO at doses of 2.5

Motivational and Behavioural Physical Activity as Differential Correlates of Well‐Being Following Mass Trauma: A Three‐Group Study of Direct, Vicarious, and Non‐Exposed Individuals

Stress and Health, Volume 42, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Regular physical activity is associated with improved mental health, yet its role following mass trauma—and the differential contributions of motivational versus behavioural components—remains insufficiently understood. Drawing on stress‐buffering and self‐determination frameworks, this study examined whether value‐based motivation for fitness

New canopy legume species highlight liana gap sampling across Amazonian and Atlantic rain forests

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Lianas are a key component of the Neotropical flora, accounting for 10% of angiosperm richness and playing important ecological roles. However, the canopy preference of some species often leads to their underrepresentation in herbarium collections, thereby exacerbating Linnaean, Darwinian, and Wallacean shortfalls. The papilionoid legume genus
