Norton (International Journal of Peptide Research and Therapeutics, 2026)
Purpose The voltage-gated potassium channel K V 1.3 is upregulated on pro-inflammatory microglia, and its blockade is effective in reducing neuroinflammation in vitro and in vivo. The most potent and selective K V 1.3 blockers identified to date are disulfide-rich, venom-derived peptides, which are largely excluded from the brain by the blood–brain barrier (BBB). As BBB shuttle peptides have been reported to promote receptor-mediated transport of macromolecules and nanoparticles across the BBB, we have conjugated two such shuttle peptides, MTfpep (MTf) and Angiopep-2 (Ang2), to HsTX1[R14A], a K V 1.3-blocking peptide with 34 residues and four disulfide bonds, using click chemistry. Results NMR spectroscopy showed that the conjugates adopted the same fold as HsTX1[R14A], and electrophysiology assays demonstrated the retention of nanomolar K V 1.3 inhibition. Liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) assays were developed to quantify HsTX1[R14A] and MTf-HsTX1[R14A] in buffer, mouse plasma and brain homogenate; however, sufficient analytical sensitivity could not be achieved for Ang2-HsTX1[R14A]. Assessment of peptide permeability in in vitro BBB models showed no evidence of enhanced permeability of MTf-HsTX1[R14A] relative to HsTX1[R14A]. Following intravenous administration of MTf-HsTX1[R14A] to C57BL/6 mice at 4 mg/kg, plasma concentrations were detectable up to 120 min post-dose, but brain concentrations of MTf-HsTX1[R14A] remained below the limit of detection at all timepoints measured. Conclusion Our results imply that the BBB shuttle peptide MTfpep failed to facilitate brain entry of this cargo. Nevertheless, the click chemistry methods developed for HsTX1[R14A] will facilitate its modular assembly with other brain-targeting ligands and are applicable to conjugation of other disulfide-rich peptides.

A systematic literature review on evaluation of microbial fuel cell in bioremediating toxic compounds from wastewater sludge - M. A. F. Muhammad Lukman; A. M. Ahmad Mokhtar; A. S. Yaakop; M. Mohd Zaini Makhtar; N. A. Kamaruzaman (International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology, 2026)
The escalating concerns over environmental pollution that is severe and the need for sustainable waste treatment methods have driven significant attention toward finding innovative technological solutions. Microbial fuel cell (MFC) has been identified as a potential approach for sludge treatment and renewable energy production. The MFC is a bio-electrochemical system that is promising environmental remediation technology due to its simple compact design, low cost and renewable energy production. As MFC is a recently developed and emerging technology, limited studies have been reported to provide complete and inclusive analyses. This Systematic Literature Review (SLR) aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the efficacy of MFC in the bioremediation of toxic compounds from wastewater sludge. The process of writing this SLR has adhered to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis) writing standard. To search for relevant articles and sources to be included in this SLR, three main databases, namely PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus were utilized with studies spanned from 2003 to 2023. Various types of MFC were evaluated for their bioremediation properties and from the extensive analysis conducted, it could be deduced that dual-chamber MFC is the most effective method of bioremediation due to the presence of two separate chambers. Referring to this SLR, it supports the effectiveness of MFC in bioremediating toxic compounds present in wastewater sludge. In addition, the microbial processes within MFC contribute significantly to the removal or reduction of various contaminants. Graphical abstract

Natural products as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) for the management of non-communicable diseases - Radwa N. Muhammad; Nora M. Aborehab; Shaza H. Aly; Noha N. Nasr; Merhan O. Hindam; Aya M.

Non-communicable diseases, such as diabetes, cancer, as well as cardiovascular, metabolic, and central nervous system disorders stand for significant global health burden. Statins, as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, have emerged as a basis in the management of hypercholesterolemia and the prevention of cardiovascular disorders. In this review, we summarize the role of statins in a variety of pathologies, ranging from their well-recognized effects in cardiovascular disorders, to the newly revealed favorable effects in cancer, eye, autoimmune, kidney, gastrointestinal, bone, and autoimmune disorders. Additionally, the current review explores insights into the potential role of natural products as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors. Future research should focus on the synergistic effects of natural therapies with synthetic statins to improve health outcomes in populations burdened by non-communicable diseases.

Bioremediation of aquaculture wastewater using the fungal biomass integrating Plackett–Burman design - Hazem T. Abd El-Hamid; Muhammad A. El-Alfy; Hanan M. Hafiz; Hoda M. El-Gharabawy (Biodegradation, 2026)
Aquaculture wastewater contains elevated levels of nutrients and organic pollutants that can accelerate eutrophication and impair aquatic ecosystems if discharged untreated. In the study, a fungal-based remediation approach was investigated for the removal of pollutants from aquaculture wastewater collected from Baltim Station ponds (31.55244° N, 31.092855° E) near Lake Burullus, Egypt. Two native fungal isolates, Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus , were employed for primary mycoremediation experiments, while Ganoderma mbrekobenum was included only in the Plackett–Burman experimental design to evaluate the influence of environmental and nutritional factors on total phosphorus (TP) removal under optimized conditions. The fungal treatment significantly improved water quality, showing substantial reductions in total protein, phosphorus, nitrogen, organic matter, and chemical oxygen demand (COD) indicating a vital role of Aspergillus species in the bioremediation of nutrient-rich aquatic environments. The Plackett–Burman design (PBD) showed that fungal treatment significantly reduced pollutant concentrations with higher metabolic activity and enzymatic production as dehydrogenase and total protein from 9 to 12 days. Moreover, PBD identified KH 2 PO 4 and MgSO₄ as the most influential variables for enhancing TP removal in the presence of G. mbrekobenum , while peptone and yeast extract exhibited the greatest effect in the non-fungal control system. The regression models demonstrated strong predictive accuracy (R 2 > 0.99), confirming the validity of the optimization approach. The results highlight the effectiveness of fungal biomass as a cost-effective and eco-friendly bioremediation strategy for mitigating nutrient pollution in aquaculture effluents and protecting sensitive aquatic environments such as Lake Burullus.

Marine Drug Design for Epitheliocytis Rendering AI ‐Assisted Bioisosteric Replacement of Salicin - Muhammad Naveed; Khushbakht Javed; Tariq Aziz; Rahmana Wazir; Imran Ali; Ayaz Ali Khan; Ashwag Shami; Maher S. Alwethaynani; Fahad Al‐Asmari; Fakhria A. Al‐Joufi (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2026)
Epitheliocystis is a distinctive and relatively understudied bacterial infection of finfish skin and gill epithelia that occurs intracellularly and results in the enlargement of the host cells. The Candidatus Syngnamydia salmonis is a bacterial pathogen that affects fish, especially salmon species like trout and salmon. The production of Epitheliocystis by Candidatus Syngnamydia salmonis poses several challenges to the aquaculture industry. Currently, limited drugs and therapies are available to effectively manage and cease the spread of this disease. The goal of this study was to develop a potential drug target for the treatment of epitheliocystis. Salicin, an organic glucoside widely known for its anti‐inflammatory characteristics, was chosen as the initial compound because of its pharmacological significance and confirmed as a bioisostere (a compound with identical biological activities but a different structure). The Xundrug MolOpt AI generative model of bioisosteric replacement tool was chosen as the optimisation technique in a cognitive exertion to improve the novel drug candidate salicin by its AI‐assisted bioisosteric replacement. To retrieve the docking results, the top three ligands from Xundrug and the cell division protein of Candidatus Syngnamydia salmonis were uploaded to the HDOCK web server, which utilises a hybrid docking technique combining template‐based modelling for docking. The target drug candidate was selected based on model 17's highest docking score of 135.6 kcal/mol. Furthermore, the Lipinski rule of five and the ADMET properties of the Bioisosteric Replaced Salicin model 17 (BRS‐17) were carefully explored. The results showed that BRS‐17 fulfilled the pharmacophore characteristics criteria, hence making it an ideal target candidate for Candidatus Syngnamydia salmonis' cell division protein. Additionally, the results are supported by −6.735Kcal/mol docking score predicted by DockThor. With the help of the supporting information from this study, the proposed drug design can close the gap in earlier studies for resistance to antibiotic treatments. It is suggested that in vitro tests be performed on this drug to show the effectiveness of the suggested design.

Corallivorous Fish Have Reduced Population Sizes and Altered Foraging Behaviour on a Recently Restored Coral Reef - Timothy A. C. Lamont; Permas B. Maulana; Ines D. Lange; Muhammad Rizky Madjid; Andi M. A. Pratama; Cicilia V. Parrangan; Tries B. Razak; Nicholas A. J. Graham (Global Change Biology, 2025)
Ecosystem restoration is a global priority for biodiversity recovery. However, many restoration efforts to date focus only on planting target species, without evaluating the resulting ecosystem‐level impacts on community development and trophic networks. For example, most of the world's efforts to restore tropical coral reefs have evaluated only the recovery of coral organisms. Here, we investigate the re‐establishment of different trophic groups of reef fishes in response to rapid coral recovery at one of the world's largest coral restoration projects. Within 4–6 years of coral restoration starting, coral cover returned to levels found at nearby healthy reference sites. Many groups of fishes recovered similarly quickly; herbivores, planktivores and omnivores recovered abundances equivalent to reference sites within the same time frame. However, although corallivorous fish abundance on 4–6‐year‐old restored reefs was significantly higher than on degraded reefs, it remained at just half the abundance of nearby healthy reference sites. Feeding observations demonstrated that across both healthy and restored habitat, the system's most abundant obligate corallivore (the butterflyfish Chaetodon octofasciatus ) consistently targeted a small subset of corals—82% of all recorded bites were on just seven coral morphotaxa. Several of these targeted coral morphotaxa were significantly less abundant on restored reefs than on healthy reference sites. Despite reduced availability of these comparatively rare corals on restored reefs, butterflyfish maintained their dietary preferences, meaning that they exhibited a higher dietary selectivity and foraged over areas twice as large compared to healthy reefs. This demonstrates that despite a rapid recovery of coral cover and some fish groups, the reduced recovery rates of slower‐growing coral morphotaxa limit the speed at which specialist corallivores can re‐establish. Restored coral reefs may regain their coral cover within 5 years, but they will require longer time frames to achieve full trophic networks and ecological complexity.

Soil contamination with toxic heavy metals [such as arsenic (As)] is becoming a serious global problem because of the rapid development of the social economy. Although plant growth-promoting rhizo-bacteria (PGPR) and nanoparticles (NPs) are the major protectants to alleviate metal toxicity, the study of these chemicals in combination to ameliorate the toxic effects of As is limited. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the effects of different levels of Bacillus subtilis (5 and 10 mg L –1 ) and silver (Ag)–NPs (10 and 20 mg kg –1 ) on morpho-physiological and antioxidative defense attributes, which was spiked with different levels of As [0 mM (i.e., no As), 100, and 200 mg kg –1 ] in wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) seedlings. Results from the present study showed that the increasing levels of As in the soil significantly ( P < 0.05) decreased plant growth and biomass, photosynthetic pigments, gas exchange attributes, sugars, and nutritional contents from the roots and shoots of the plants. In contrast, increasing levels of As in the soil significantly ( P < 0.05) increased oxidative stress indicators in term of malondialdehyde (MDA), hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), and electrolyte leakage (EL), and also increased organic acid exudation patter in the roots of T. aestivum . The negative impact of As toxicity can overcome the application of B . subtilis and Ag − NPs, which ultimately increased plant growth and biomass by capturing the reactive oxygen species (ROS), and decreased oxidative stress in T. aestivum by decreasing the As contents in the roots and shoots of the plants. Research findings, therefore, suggest that the combined application of B . subtilis and Ag − NPs can ameliorate As toxicity in T. aestivum , resulting in improved plant growth and composition under metal stress, as depicted by balanced exudation of organic acids.

Extracellular DNA (eDNA), as a potential plant autotoxin, can cause soil sickness, negatively affecting plant growth and reducing crop yield. Some microbial taxa can degrade eDNA; however, the effect of these bacteria on plant growth and rhizosphere microbial communities is unknown. In this study, eDNA-degrading bacterial strains were screened from soils, and their eDNA-degrading ability and plant-growth-promoting characteristics were tested in vitro. The effects of the most potent eDNA-degrading strain on tomato plant growth were assessed, and changes in the rhizosphere bacterial community were analyzed using high-throughput amplicon sequencing. Among a total of more than 600 isolated strains, Pseudomonas sp. F204 showed the strongest eDNA-degradation capacity and exhibited phosphate solubilization, siderophore, and indole-3-acetic acid production abilities. Pot experiment showed that inoculation of Pseudomonas sp. F204 significantly altered tomato rhizosphere bacterial community structure and composition, and stimulated the growth of tomato seedlings. Overall, this study shows that eDNA-degrading bacteria can alter rhizosphere bacterial community and promote plant growth, and highlights the important role of soil microbial community in alleviating autotoxicity in continuous cropping systems.

Mapping dengue susceptibility in Dhaka city: a geospatial multi-criteria approach integrating environmental and demographic factors - Muhammad Al-Amin Hoque; Md. Limon Sardar; Sharif A. Mukul; Biswajeet Pradhan (Spatial Information Research, 2025)
Dengue, a rapidly spreading mosquito-borne disease, poses a serious public health threat in tropical cities like Dhaka, Bangladesh—one of the world’s most densely populated megacities. In 2023 alone, Dhaka experienced its worst outbreak, recording 321,179 cases and 1,705 deaths. This study aims to assess dengue susceptibility across Dhaka using a geospatial Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) approach. Fourteen environmental and demographic factors were selected, and thematic raster layers were developed and weighted using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). These layers were integrated to generate spatial dengue susceptibility maps, highlighting risk zones across the city. Findings reveal that southern and southeastern Dhaka, particularly under the South City Corporation, are highly susceptible based on environmental factors. Demographic analysis shows moderate to very high susceptibility in central and southern wards, with population density and proximity to waterlogged areas identified as key drivers. The model was validated through field surveys with 80 stakeholders, with 67.5% agreeing with the susceptibility classifications. This study provides a scalable and transferable framework for dengue risk assessment and can inform targeted interventions in other endemic regions. The results offer critical guidance for urban health planning, vector control, and resource allocation to mitigate dengue and similar vector-borne diseases.
