• Spatial transcriptomics maps host-gut microbiome biogeography at high resolution
  March 6, 2026 by Ioannis Ntekas
  Intermicrobial and host-microbial interactions are critical for the functioning of the gut microbiome, but few tools are available to measure these interactions in situ. Here we report a method for broad spatial sampling of microbiome-host interactions in the gut at high resolution (1 µm). This method […]
• Multimodality as a safeguard of honesty in communication and language: from Animals to Humans
  March 5, 2026 by Severine B S W Hex
  From spider dances to human language, multimodality is ubiquitous in natural communication systems. Much scholarship has been devoted to investigating why multimodality evolved and the role it plays in communication. Here, we highlight the role of multimodality in safeguarding the most fundamental prerequisite of all functioning, […]
• Evaluation of antimicrobial resistance governance across 193 countries to inform the 2026 Global Action Plan update
  March 3, 2026 by Weiye Chen
  Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a major global health threat, yet the effectiveness of national action plans (NAPs) remains uncertain. Here we developed a multidimensional One Health governance index through a structured Delphi expert consultation to evaluate AMR governance across 193 countries (2017-2022), integrating 269 policy documents, […]

• Multi-ancestry genome-wide association study and meta-analysis of lung function decline
  March 1, 2026 by Bonnie K Patchen
  CONCLUSIONS: Our GWAS meta-analyses identified numerous genetic loci associated with lung function decline. These findings contribute knowledge to the genetic architecture of lung function decline, provide evidence for a role of corticosteroids in the etiology of lung function decline, and identify drug targets meriting further study […]
• Valve endothelial monolayer fissuring and interstitial matrix fracture triggers calcific lesion formation via GTPase signaling
  March 1, 2026 by Katherine Driscoll
  Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is a degenerative disease with wide prevalence in the aging population and a low survival rate after onset of symptoms, yet there are no effective pharmacological treatments. Many patients present to the clinic with symptoms at end-stages of CAVD, when the […]
• Vagus nerve stimulation alters task-evoked pupillary responses in older but not younger adults: A single-blind active sham-controlled crossover trial
  February 27, 2026 by Elizabeth Riley
  INTRODUCTION: The locus coeruleus (LC) undergoes age-related changes and is involved in Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) may modulate LC activity and could be used therapeutically, but age-related differences in VNS responses remain unexplored.
• Diverse microbial exposure exacerbates the development of allergic airway inflammation in adult mice
  February 23, 2026 by Jessica Elmore
  Exposure to a diversity of microbes has been implicated in playing a major role in susceptibility to the development of allergic lung-type diseases. The hygiene hypothesis suggests that those exposed to a broad diversity of microbes are more likely to be protected against developing allergic-type diseases. […]
• Whole Exome Sequencing of Feline Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Reveals Genomic Parallels With Human Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
  February 22, 2026 by Shirley Chu
  Feline oral squamous cell carcinoma (FOSCC) and human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) are the 4th most common malignant neoplasms in cats and humans. Most cats are not treated due to the poor prognosis and die of their disease within a few months of […]
• An Open-Source Automated Pipeline for Quantitative Morphological Analysis of 3D-Bioprinted Cancer Cell Spheroids
  February 20, 2026 by Pius N Amartey
  Three-dimensional (3D) culture systems that recapitulate the tumor microenvironment are essential for studying cancer cell behavior, drug response, and cell-matrix interactions. Here, we present a detailed protocol for generating 3D spheroid cultures from murine breast cancer cells using methacrylated gelatin (GelMA)-based bioink and a CELLINK BioX […]
• Transcriptomic and chromatin accessibility profiling unveils new regulators of heat hormesis in Caenorhabditis elegans
  February 20, 2026 by Hsin-Yun Chang
  Heat hormesis describes the beneficial adaptations resulting from transient exposure to mild heat stress, which enhances stress resilience and promotes healthy aging. While heat hormesis is widely observed, much remains to be learned about its molecular basis. This study bridges a critical knowledge gap through a […]
• Impact of Preoperative PROMIS PF on Outcomes Following Cervical Disc Replacement
  February 19, 2026 by Cole T Kwas
  CONCLUSION: Patients with higher preoperative disability, as determined by PROMIS PF, experience similar postoperative pain scores, narcotics consumption, time to discontinue narcotics, and return to activities as compared with patients with lower preoperative disability undergoing CDR as well as greater absolute improvements and MCID achievement rates […]
• Engineering surgery-free prosthetic heart valve growth
  February 18, 2026 by Jonathan T Butcher
  Children with congenital heart valve disease require repeat surgical procedures to resize grafts. A new option is a valved stent that grows spontaneously.
• Network-based genetic monitoring of landscape fragmentation
  February 18, 2026 by Ohad Peled
  Habitat fragmentation is one of the most immediate and substantial threats to biodiversity, generating isolated populations with reduced genetic diversity. Genetic monitoring has become essential for detecting fragmentation and tracking its progress. However, the coherent interpretation of genetic monitoring data and understanding the genetic consequences of […]
• Late-season off-flavor impacts on consumer acceptance and perceived product value of maple syrup
  February 18, 2026 by Alina N Stelick
  Maple Syrup is an important agroforestry product in New York State (U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), National Agricultural Statistics Service, 2017), produced from the sap of maple trees in late winter-early spring. Climate change has compressed the sap harvesting season due to increased average temperatures and […]
• Overcoming CXCR4-Mediated T-Cell Exclusion Potentiates Antitumor Cytotoxicity in Fibrolamellar Carcinoma
  February 17, 2026 by Jason A Carter
  CONCLUSIONS: Our findings demonstrate that immune resistance in FLC is mediated by both local T-cell exclusion and exhaustion, with combination CXCR4 and PD-1 blockade acting cooperatively to overcome these independent mechanisms. These results highlight the versatility of the human TSC system to aid in the study […]
