The role of rurality and area-level disadvantage in lifestyle risk factors and psychological well-being among cancer survivors: findings from the 2021 NCI HINTS-SEER - Anita M. Kumar; Carrie A. Miller; Reyna Han; D. Jeremy Barsell; Joseph Boyle; Bernard F. Fuemmeler (Cancer Causes & Control, 2026)
Background Rural cancer survivors consistently experience poorer health outcomes than their urban counterparts, yet the interplay between rurality and area-level disadvantage remains understudied. This study examines how rural versus urban residence and neighborhood disadvantage relate to obesity, smoking, and psychological well-being among cancer survivors. Methods Data from 1,062 HINTS-SEER participants across three registries were analyzed. Logistic regression models estimated associations between area-level factors (Social Deprivation Index (SDI) and Areas of Persistent Poverty) and health outcomes, adjusting for individual sociodemographic factors. Analyses accounted for complex survey design using Taylor series linearization. Results Urban residents showed lower odds of obesity compared with their rural counterparts (OR: 0.69; 95% CI: 0.50–0.95). In stratified analyses, area-level social deprivation demonstrated smaller statistically significant associations. Higher deprivation was associated with increased odds of obesity among urban cancer survivors (OR: 1.01; 95% CI: 1.00–1.02) and increased depression/anxiety among rural survivors (OR: 1.02; 95% CI: 1.00–1.04). Across all models, individual-level socioeconomic factors (education, income) showed stronger, more consistent protective associations than area-level indicators. Conclusions and implications Area-level disadvantage was a contributor to rural cancer survivors’ psychological well-being. Individual socioeconomic status remains the dominant determinant of lifestyle and mental health outcomes. Cancer survivors residing in socioeconomically disadvantaged rural areas may benefit from targeted mental health intervention. Future longitudinal research incorporating census tract–level geographic measures and residential histories is needed to clarify the mechanisms linking the geographic and socioeconomic context to survivorship outcomes.

Spatio‐Temporal Groundwater Vulnerability Assessment in the Paler Watershed Using GIS‐Based DRASTIC and Multialgorithm Machine Learning Approaches - D. Jawaharlal; R. K. Singh; C. D. Singh; Mukesh Kumar; Abhishek Waghaye; Manoj Kumar (Irrigation and Drainage, 2026)
Evaluating groundwater vulnerability is crucial for sustainable water resource management, particularly where groundwater is heavily utilized for domestic and agricultural purposes. This paper presents a methodology combining machine learning with the GIS‐based DRASTIC model for the Paler watershed, lower Krishna subbasin, southern India. The DRASTIC model assesses seven hydrogeological characteristics: depth to water table, recharge, aquifer media, soil media, topography, vadose zone influence and aquifer conductivity. We enhanced forecast accuracy using random forest, support vector machines, XG boost, artificial neural networks and long short‐term memory networks. The study area, with 859 mm annual rainfall, was characterized using 104 observation wells over 15 years; five modelling approaches are compared with modified DRASTIC‐L across land use datasets for 2017, 2021, 2023 and 2024. SVM and XG Boost outperformed other methods, achieving R 2 of 0.76–0.81, whereas LSTM and ANN performed poorly with negative NSE values. High‐vulnerability zones expanded from 35% in 2017 to 43% in 2024, driven by water‐table decline and agricultural intensification. SVM‐predicted vulnerability indices correlated strongly with observed nitrate concentrations ( r = 0.82, p

Raman spectroscopic signatures of prostate cancer progression: correlation with gleason score - Samaneh Ghazanfarpour; Rahul Kumar Das; Satish Sharma; Stanley A. Schwartz; Kent Chevli; Wilfrido Mojica; Anna Sharikova; Supriya D. Mahajan; Alexander Khmaladze; Ravikumar Aalinkeel (Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, 2026)
Prostate cancer (CaP) is a heterogeneous malignancy, and its grading via Gleason scoring is essential for prognosis and therapeutic decision‑making. However, traditional histopathological methods are limited in detecting subtle biochemical variations. This study applies Raman spectroscopy (RS) to formalin‑fixed paraffin‑embedded (FFPE) CaP tissues of varying Gleason scores to uncover biochemical signatures associated with tumor aggressiveness. Raman spectral analysis reveals distinct molecular alterations particularly in lipid, protein, and nucleic acid content that differ across Gleason patterns reflecting grade‑associated biochemical differences rather than any biological progression between patterns. Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) of Raman data enables discrimination between benign prostate tissue and higher‑grade cancer (Gleason ≥ 7) included in this study and stratifies the analyzed Gleason patterns. Our goal in this initial study was not to define definitive Raman biomarkers but to evaluate whether consistent biochemical differences across Gleason grades could be detected in FFPE tissue. Our findings support the potential of Raman spectroscopy as a label‑free, non‑destructive adjunct to conventional histopathology for improved CaP stratification.

The Asia region harbors exceptional chondrichthyan (shark, ray, and chimaera) diversity but faces intense fishing pressure. The Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRA) process provides a collaborative, evidence-based framework to identify critical habitats and inform spatial management. We assessed ISRAs across the Bay of Bengal, Southeast Asia, and the Northwest Pacific to characterize their extent, ecological significance, and conservation relevance. We delineated 122 ISRAs spanning ~ 1 million km 2 (~ 3% of the region) across 12 jurisdictions and international waters, encompassing habitats for 121 species (~ 30% of Asia’s chondrichthyans), 76% of which are threatened. Depleted taxa (e.g., giant guitarfishes, Glaucostegidae) were represented, but charismatic megafauna (e.g., Whale Shark Rhincodon typus ) were overrepresented. In contrast, deepwater and freshwater species were underrepresented. Reproductive Areas were the most common ISRA sub-criterion applied (52% of ISRAs), largely in nearshore zones, while areas for range-restricted species were less frequently (18%) identified. Twelve ISRAs overlapped with biodiversity hotspots, including seven in areas of high overall chondrichthyan species richness and five in areas of high range-restricted species richness. Citizen science was the predominant research method used to delineate ISRAs, while fisheries data were underused despite the region’s major fisheries footprint. Geographic coverage was uneven: Indonesia held the most ISRAs (n = 40; 71.7% of ISRA coverage) while eight jurisdictions (e.g., Viet Nam, China, Republic of Korea) lacked ISRAs due to data gaps. Protection shortfalls are stark: MPAs cover

There is a ubiquitous co-occurrence of microplastics (MPs) and estrogenic endocrine disrupting chemicals (EEDCs) in aquatic environments. Their combined presence may induce sub-lethal stress in aquatic organisms, like molluscs, which may adapt to the stress through adjusting the lipidome. This study explored the individual and combined effects of polyethylene microplastics (PE-MPs) and a mixture of EEDCs at environmentally realistic concentrations on the lipidome of the Sydney rock oyster ( Saccostrea glomerata ). After seven days exposure, lipids were measured in the digestive glands and gonads using proton nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H NMR) spectroscopy. Permutational analysis of variance (PERMANOVA) revealed the lipidome of oysters exhibited treatment differences with interactions between sex and tissue type. Subsequent post-hoc analysis revealed the male digestive gland to be significantly more responsive than the other tissues tested. An increase in cholesterols and aldehydes in all treatments compared to controls was ascribed to an adaptive response to transient oxidative stress in oysters, which was alleviated by increased food intake. There was a significantly greater effect of the EEDCs mixture than PE-MPs in oysters. The combined oxidative stress of PE-MPs and EEDCs from co-exposure did not exceed the individual effects of PE-MPs and EEDCs, which may relate to low exposure concentrations of PE-MPs, selective rejection of MPs in pseudofeces, or poor vector role of smooth surfaced PE-MPs.

H. Elbourne; Seth Amanquah; Patrick Adjei; Mario Capunzo; et al. (Probiotics and Antimicrobial Proteins, 2026)
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by the buildup of extracellular aggregated amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides, following sequential enzymatic cleavage of amyloid precursor protein, along with intraneuronal accumulation of hyperphosphorylated Tau proteins and subsequent neuronal loss. Despite extensive research, the precise mechanisms underlying Aβ and Tau-mediated neurodegeneration remain elusive. Inhibiting protein aggregation has been a primary focus for mitigating neuronal toxicity. Probiotics have emerged as a promising preventative measure against cognitive decline in AD, with several in vivo and clinical trials demonstrating the efficacy of select bacterial strains in slowing AD progression. However, these studies lack direct molecular evidence on the effects of probiotics on Aβ aggregation kinetic. Inhibiting protein aggregation is key to reducing neuronal toxicity. While probiotics have shown promise in preventing cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease, supported by in vivo and clinical studies, direct molecular evidence of their impact on Aβ aggregation kinetics remains lacking. In this study, we conducted bioinformatic and physicochemical assessments, including molecular docking of proteins derived from 13 probiotic strains against Aβ and Tau, identifying four strains predicted to efficiently inhibit Aβ aggregation. Kinetic studies confirmed that both the probiotic formulation and its derived supernatant significantly inhibited the conversion of monomeric Aβ and Tau into aggregated forms. To explore bioavailability, we administered the probiotic formulation to healthy individuals and detected its presence in stool samples, demonstrating survival through the gastrointestinal tract. These findings suggest that specific probiotic strains may serve as therapeutic candidates for targeting Aβ and/or Tau aggregation, with further studies warranted to assess their potential clinical utility in AD.

Aim Microbiome rewilding seeks to harness plant‐microbe interactions for sustainable agriculture, assuming that ancestral microbial partners have been lost during domestication and geographical spread. Designing microbiome rewilding strategies requires a quantitative and predictive understanding of the fundamental ecological processes—selection, dispersal, and drift—driving microbial assembly and persistence in the rhizosphere of crop wild progenitors (CWPs). Location Global. Time Period Present. Major Taxa Studied Rhizosphere bacteria and fungi. Methods Here, we leveraged a global survey of the CWPs of 10 major crops across their native habitats to assess the roles of selection, dispersal, and drift in shaping rhizosphere microbial communities. We combined compositional and phylogenetic turnover metrics with local network analyses to evaluate community assembly and structure in response to environmental gradients. Results We found host‐driven selection, reflected by low phylogenetic turnover at the whole‐tree level, but also selection driven by differences among individual plants, as indicated by high turnover among closely related taxa. The high level of compositional turnover found suggests dispersal limitations, which in the context of CWPs, may indicate host‐mediated filtering of external microbial taxa. The network structure was constant across CWPs; however, bacterial and fungal structures diverged, pointing to distinct community organisations. Bacterial communities presented higher modularity and lower clustering than fungal communities. Climate, especially seasonal temperature and precipitation, was the main driver of both bacterial and fungal structures. However, host identity best predicted bacterial structure, while NDVI, a proxy for vegetation status, better explained fungal patterns. Main Conclusions Bacterial and fungal communities are shaped by consistent assembly processes across CWPs, but their structures diverge. With the identification of the assembly processes driving microbiome composition in the rhizosphere of CWPs, this work paves the road to incorporate microbiome rewilding in the toolbox of sustainable agriculture.

Purpose Lipids are one of the most abundant molecules within extracellular vesicles (EVs) and are important for EV biology and cell signaling. However, very little attention has been given to the role of lipids in the biological function of EVs during exercise. Therefore, we completed a study using a cross-over design to investigate the effects of aerobic and resistance exercise on the lipid profile of EVs. Methods Ten healthy participants (23.0 ± 3.6 years) performed an acute bout of aerobic exercise, an acute bout of resistance exercise, as well as a period of rest (control) in a randomized, cross-over design. Blood samples were collected immediately following exercise and 30 min after exercise, and exercise conditions were compared to control within each subject. Plasma EVs were isolated using cushioned-density gradient ultracentrifugation (C-DGUC). The EV size, morphology, and protein markers were examined using nanoflow cytometry, transmission electron microscopy, and western blot, respectively. Additionally, we conducted an untargeted lipidomics analysis on the EV isolate. Results Our findings revealed neither exercise modality had a significant effect on the size or concentration of EVs ( P > 0.05). However, we found that immediately after exercise there was a decrease in glycerophospholipids within the EVs (55% vs 49%; P < 0.05) in the resistance exercise group compared to the control group, a response not found in the aerobic exercise group. Conclusion Our data suggest that although resistance exercise induced some changes in the lipid composition of EVs, the EV-containing lipids do not appear to be a critical mechanism utilized by cells to mediate exercise-induced adaptations.

Human invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are a conserved population of innate-like T cells that are activated by glycolipid antigens. In addition to their well-known role in anti-tumor function, iNKT cells are also involved in regulating and maintaining hematopoiesis in the bone marrow. Here, we present the reprogramming of human CD4 + Vα24 + Vβ11 + iNKT cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iNKT-iPSCs) and describe a novel chemically defined, feeder-free 3D spheroid method for generating CD34 + cells from iNKT-iPSCs, followed by their re-differentiation into functional Vα24 + Vβ11 + iNKT cells (i-iNKT) with pro-hematopoietic activity. The i-iNKT cells showed specific binding to CD1d tetramers loaded with the lipid antigen α-galactosylceramide and had a similar transcription factor profile to that of somatic CD4 + iNKT cells. Additionally, in response to CD3 stimulation, the i-iNKT cells produced cytokines with hematopoietic potential and promoted expansion/differentiation of myeloid progenitors. These findings suggest the feasibility of using iPSCs as off-the-shelf i-iNKT cell sources to enhance the hematopoietic activity of bone marrow after hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation.

Harvesting Asparagopsis: understanding regrowth and associated community dynamics - Najeen Arabelle Rula; Angela Capper; Adam Smith; Robert D. Kinley; Manoj Kumar; Emma L. Jackson (Journal of Applied Phycology, 2026)
The red seaweed Asparagopsis taxiformis can reduce methane emissions in livestock by over 90%, but its mariculture remains in its infancy and biomass for research and commercial use relies partly on wild populations. Knowledge on the impacts of harvesting A. taxiformis is lacking, emphasising the need for ecological research to guide the development of its sustainable harvesting. This study examined the regrowth potential of A. taxiformis meadows following small-scale harvesting. A harvest experiment testing the methods, handpicking and cutting, was conducted in Gladstone, Queensland, Australia, during the austral winter, with plots monitored over six months. Harvesting immediately affected percent cover and shoot length. Handpicked and cut plots exhibited regrowth within four to five months in terms of cover, which notably exceeded or were slightly above that of control plots. The shoot length of harvested plots paralleled that of control plots and was mainly influenced by seasonality. Control plots exhibited reduced growth at three months, suggesting that harvesting mimicked the seasonal reduction in biomass after the winter peak. This study also demonstrated the importance of vegetative propagation in the regrowth of A. taxiformis . The sessile benthic community in harvested plots underwent temporal shifts similar to those in the control plots, indicating that harvesting did not substantially alter community dynamics. Approximately 19 taxa of mobile fauna were recorded within Asparagopsis meadows, potentially indicating its habitat role. Overall, these findings provide ecological insights into the harvesting impacts on this seaweed, with further studies needed to assess broad-scale and long-term impacts.

Assessing the Effect of Substitution of Arginine with Homoarginine in Two Antimicrobial Peptides - George Nkrumah Enninful; Rajesh Kuppusamy; Elvis Tiburu; Naresh Kumar; Mark D. P. Willcox (International Journal of Peptide Research and Therapeutics, 2026)
Purpose Antimicrobial peptides show promise as broad-spectrum agents and are less likely to induce rapid resistance. However, protease sensitivity limits their potential as antibiotic alternatives. Non-canonical amino acid incorporation may enhance stability but could impact other properties. Methods The activities of four peptides (oligoarginine (PLR10), oligohomoarginine (PLHR10), Mel4, and Mel4HArg) were tested against strains of S. aureus , P. aeruginosa and E. coli. Circular dichroism (CD) was used to determine their secondary structure. Their MICs against E. coli and P. aeruginosa were re-examined after protease treatment. Cytotoxicities against L929 cell line were determined. Results MICs for the four AMPs ranged from 31.25 to > 500 µM. Total substitution of arginine with homoarginine had minimal effect on MICs of PLR10, but increased the MICs of Mel4, e.g., against S. aureus ATCC 6538 from 31.25 to > 250 µM. In 30 mM SDS, substitution with homoarginine resulted in the loss of α-helical structures. Trypsin reduced PLR10 activity against E. coli and P. aeruginosa but had less effect on PLHR10. At 62.5 µM, PLR10 reduced E. coli growth by 20% compared to 90% for PLHR10. At 125 µM, PLR10 reduced P. aeruginosa growth by 22% compared to 70% for PLHR10. Mel4HArg retained activity against E. coli post-trypsin treatment but not against P. aeruginosa . The IC 50 for PLR10 and PLHR10 (15.625 µM) against L929 cell line was below their MIC (31.25 µM), indicating low therapeutic potential. In contrast, Mel4 and Mel4HArg had IC50 > 500 µM, exceeding Mel4’s MIC for S. aureus (31.25–62.5 µM) and E. coli (125 µM), though not for Mel4HArg’s MIC against P. aeruginosa . Conclusion The total arginine substitution with homoarginine in Mel4 and PLR10 resulted in improved stability but reduced activity in Mel4 and no improvement in cytotoxicity of PLR10, highlighting the need to find balance in optimizing AMP properties.
