SARS-CoV-2 viral infection can be inhibited by blocking the interaction between the viral spike protein and the human receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (hACE2). The development of specific spike inhibitors using nanobodies, the antigen-binding region of llamas’ antibodies, arose as a promising therapeutic method against SARS-CoV-2. However, one limitation of nanobodies is that they cannot be used directly in the human body due to their susceptibility to degradation. Bacteria-based delivery systems provide site-specific targeted action that can circumvent nanobody degradation. Here, we report the development of a genetically modified bacterium expressing anti-SARS-CoV-2 nanobodies that can inhibit the interaction between the hACE2 receptor and the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the spike protein. Lactococcus lactis , a human symbiont probiotic bacterium, was selected to express nanobodies attached to their cell surface. Our data shows that FLAG-tagged anti-SARS-CoV-2 nanobodies were detected on the cell surface of recombinant L. lactis strains by flow cytometry and immunofluorescence without permeabilization. Furthermore, nanobodies are functional and can bind the RBD region from the spike protein in a dose-dependent manner. Inhibition of the hACE2-RBD interaction in cellular assays was quantified using a pseudotype lentivirus that mimics SARS-CoV-2 in an adaptation of the neutralization assay. Our results suggested that the recombinant bacteria can inhibit viral infectivity in more than 50% compared with a control without bacteria in a neutralization assay. These outcomes suggest that the engineered strain can be used in the future as a new therapeutic tool in COVID-19 prevention.

National Poison Center Trends in GLP-1 Receptor Agonist Exposures Following FDA Approval for Weight Loss - Jordan Miller; Robert Miller; Shawn M. Varney; David Han (Journal of Medical Toxicology, 2026)
Introduction Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are therapies for type 2 diabetes whose use expanded sharply after semaglutide’s 2021 approval for obesity. Although gastrointestinal effects are well described, national patterns of acute GLP-1 RA exposures are poorly characterized. This study evaluated trends in GLP-1 RA exposures reported to U.S. poison centers, focusing on demographic shifts, exposure circumstances, and clinical outcomes before and after the 2021 FDA approval. Methods We analyzed human GLP-1 RA exposures reported to the National Poison Data System from 2012 to 2023, using July 1, 2021, to define pre- and post-approval periods. Demographics, exposure characteristics, therapies, and medical outcomes were compared using standardized statistical tests. Quarterly call counts were modeled with segmented Poisson regression to assess changes in reporting trajectory. Results A total of 10,033 exposures were identified (3,113 pre-approval; 6,920 post-approval). Semaglutide predominated post-approval (64.2%). The exposed population shifted younger and more female. Most cases were unintentional therapeutic errors with mild gastrointestinal symptoms. The proportion managed in or referred to a health care facility increased from 23.0% to 33.5% (RR = 1.46, [95% CI: 1.36, 1.57], p < 0.001). Segmented Poisson modeling demonstrated a significant inflection in call volume, with semaglutide exposures increasing an additional 9.9% per quarter after approval. Conclusions GLP-1 RA exposures rose sharply following semaglutide’s weight-loss approval, accompanied by increased health care utilization despite generally mild clinical effects. Although multiple factors likely contributed to these trends, improved patient counseling and clearer poison center guidance may help reduce preventable therapeutic errors and unnecessary emergency evaluation.

Disentangling the life-history costs of direct male-male competition and sperm production - Fatema Akhter; Megan L. Head; Michael D. Jennions; Meng-Han Joseph Chung (Evolutionary Ecology, 2026)
To achieve reproductive success, males typically invest more than their rivals to win fights and secure mating opportunities. Male-male competition can then continue after copulation as sperm competition if females mate multiply. While male reproduction often comes at the expense of other fitness-related traits (e.g., growth, immunity), the relative costs of different components of male reproduction (e.g., fighting rivals or sperm production) are unclear. Addressing this oversight is challenging due to the inherent correlation between different reproductive activities: a male must fight and mate successfully before investing in sperm competition. Here, we conducted an experiment in Gambusia holbrooki to estimate the life-history costs of different components of reproduction. To quantify the cost of male-male fighting, we compared life-history traits of males in the presence and absence of rivals. To quantify the cost of sperm investment, we compared life-history traits in males that either could or could not release sperm (following ablation surgery) when in the presence of rivals. Males that fought with rivals for eight weeks did not show reduced growth, immune response, sperm count or sperm velocity than males that had not fought rivals. Interestingly, males that fought rivals spent significantly less time following females but still made the same number of mating attempts, suggesting increased mating efficiency. Conversely, males that repeatedly ejaculated over eight weeks produced significantly fewer sperm than those that could not ejaculate because of ablation of the tip of their gonopodium. Greater past sperm investment due to the inability to ejaculate increased the time spent following females, but did not affect the number of mating attempts. Our findings show that sperm investment in the presence of rivals reduces a male’s future ability to produce sperm, whereas no life-history costs of physical fighting were detected.

Background While overall colorectal cancer (CRC) rates have declined in the United States (U.S.), early-onset CRC (EO-CRC), diagnosed before age 50, has increased. Rural U.S. residents face higher CRC incidence than non-rural counterparts. We aimed to examine the relationship between age at diagnosis and EO-CRC outcomes and whether rurality modify these associations. Methods We analyzed data from 835,907 patients aged 20–79 years in the 2006–2020 SEER Program. Rurality was defined using U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural–Urban Commuting Area (RUCA) codes. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to examine associations between age, rurality, and late-stage CRC diagnosis. Competing-risk regression models were applied to evaluate CRC-specific mortality, accounting for non–CRC deaths. Patients aged 50–59 years residing in non-rural areas served as the reference group for joint age–rurality analyses. All models adjusted for demographic, socioeconomic, clinical, and treatment factors. Results Patients aged 30–39 (aOR: 1.49, 95% CI: 1.44–1.54) and 40–49 (aOR: 1.43, 95% CI: 1.40–1.46) had significantly higher odds of late-stage CRC compared with those aged 50–59, with the strongest associations observed among non-rural patients aged 30–39 (aOR: 1.52, 95% CI: 1.46–1.58). In competing-risk models, rural patients were at higher CRC-specific mortality across all age groups, with relative hazard increases ranging from 8% in older adults (70-79) to 21% in younger adults (20-29) compared with their non-rural counterparts. Conclusion Adults aged 30–49 had higher odds of late-stage CRC than those 50–59, especially in non-rural areas. Rural residence was associated with higher CRC-specific mortality across all ages. Overall, age more strongly predicted late-stage diagnosis, while rurality more strongly predicted mortality. Earlier detection and improved clinical awareness in younger adults may reduce advanced-stage disease and CRC deaths.

Early intestinal barrier changes in A53T transgenic Parkinson’s disease mice - Myat Noe Han; Olivia Artaiz; Matthew C. Rowe; David I. Finkelstein; Shanti Diwakarla; Rachel M. McQuade (Cell and Tissue Research, 2026)
Gut dysfunction commonly precedes motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease (PD), but the mechanistic sequence of gut versus brain pathology remains unclear. This work aimed to define the timing of intestinal barrier dysfunction relative to central nervous system (CNS) changes in the A53T α-synuclein transgenic mouse model of PD. Functional and molecular assessments of the gastrointestinal tract (ileum and colon) were conducted at 12 and 36 weeks. We measured in vivo and ex vivo intestinal permeability, nutrient absorption, histomorphology, goblet cell density, and expression of MUC2 and Claudin-1. Inflammatory markers (CRP, TNF-α, CD45) were quantified in plasma and gut tissues. A53T mice exhibited increased intestinal permeability at 12 and 36 weeks, with transiently elevated ex vivo transepithelial electrical resistance (TER) at 12 weeks. Nutrient absorption remained intact. Morphological changes included widened villi and crypts, altered mucin expression, and early reductions in Claudin-1 in the ileum and the colon while inflammatory markers remained largely unchanged. These findings suggest that gut dysfunction precedes known central pathology in A53T mice, supporting further investigation into the gut as an early site of pathology and a potential therapeutic target in PD.

Impact of Practical Irrigation Practices on Farmland Climate: A Case Study of the Heihe River Oasis in Arid North‐West China - Congying Han; Yanhua Wang; Baozhong Zhang; Yaqi Wang; Zheng Wei; Songjun Han (Irrigation and Drainage, 2026)
This study analyses how irrigation has altered meteorological conditions and atmospheric evaporation capacity (ET pen ). The results revealed that the expansion of irrigation from 1956 to 1997 led to a greater increase in the daily relative humidity (RH) of approximately 0.73% per decade, a decrease in the ET pen of approximately 0.10 mm/day per decade, and a greater increase in daily air temperature (T 2 ) of approximately 0.01°C per decade at agricultural stations more than at natural stations. After 1998, with water‐saving irrigation, wind speed at 2 m (U 2 ) increased by approximately 0.14 m/s per decade, RH decreased by approximately 2.66% per decade, ET pen increased by approximately 0.26 mm/day per decade, and T 2 increased by approximately 0.22°C per decade. Irrigation impacts were strongest between June and August, closely linked to irrigation intensity. Specifically, for every 100 mm increase in irrigation, T 2 , underlying surface temperature (TSK), and ET pen decreased by an average of 0.11°C, 0.18°C and 0.06 mm per day, respectively, whereas RH increased by 0.60%. This study highlights the necessity of incorporating irrigation‐induced climate feedback mechanisms into agricultural water resource management and climate adaptation strategies in arid regions.

Microbial Responses to Warming Reduce Deep Blue Carbon Storage - Leilei Xiao; Jian Liu; Genevieve L. Noyce; Jaehyun Lee; Carlos M. Duarte; Meng Zhou; Min Luo; Ruifeng Sun; Run Dang; Lifeng Zhou; Lirong Zhang; Chuancheng Fu; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2026)
Coastal wetlands are critical blue carbon reservoirs, yet the depth‐resolved impacts of warming on belowground carbon dynamics remain poorly understood. Over the course of an 8‐year in situ experiment, we investigated plant‐derived carbon inputs, soil carbon losses via respiration, and microbially mediated carbon fixation across a 60 cm soil profile under a projected 2°C atmospheric warming scenario. Plant carbon fixation (above‐ and belowground net primary productivity) and soil respiration exhibited synchronized responses to warming, with an initial increase, followed by a decline in the mid‐term, and no significant response in the later stages. Soil and microbial respiration stabilized after prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures, as these processes were constrained by substrate availability. In contrast, phospholipid fatty acid profiling, amino sugar biomarkers, and metagenome‐assembled genomes consistently indicated a greater than one‐third reduction in microbial carbon fixation within subsoils (40–60 cm). Our fully factorial, depth‐stratified warming design reveals the particular vulnerability of deep soil microbial carbon retention to long‐term climate warming, independent of shifts in plant input or respiratory carbon loss. This work highlights underappreciated pathways influencing soil blue carbon dynamics in a changing world.

Seasonal Drought Reduces Carbon Sequestration in Coastal Wetlands - Wenli Jia; Guangxuan Han; Peter I. Macreadie; Baoyu Sun; Huiqi Zhang; Wanxin Huang; Xiaoshuai Zhang; Mingliang Zhao; Siyu Wei; Xiaojie Wang; Baohua Xie; Aobu Lu; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2026)
Coastal wetlands represent one of the most intensive carbon sinks, and the stability of their soil carbon reserves is critical to the global carbon balance. While existing studies have predominantly focused on the effects of changes in total annual rainfall, the intensification of climate change has led to increasingly pronounced intra‐annual rainfall variability (e.g., greater concentration of rainy seasons and more frequent dry spells). However, systematic experimental evidence on how such variability regulates coastal wetland soil carbon storage remains lacking. We conducted a 5‐year field experiment in a Chinese coastal wetland, manipulating the timing of growing‐season rainfall while keeping the total amount constant. This created strong early‐growing season gradients in soil moisture and salinity, whereas mid‐ to late‐season heavy rainfall and groundwater recharge largely equalized surface soil moisture across treatments. Early‐growing season drought reduced topsoil organic carbon by about 9%–13%, whereas adding rain early in the season had no significant effect. The decline in soil organic carbon (SOC) was linked to reduced plant diversity, root biomass, and carbon inputs to both short‐lived and more stable soil pools. Scaled across China's coastal wetlands, this SOC decline could amount to roughly 2.2–3.2 million tons of CO 2 ‐equivalent, highlighting its potential impact. Our experiment therefore offers a globally relevant test case for understanding how climate variability constrains carbon sequestration. These results show that even short‐term drought can erode the climate‐mitigation potential of coastal wetlands by suppressing root‐driven carbon inputs, emphasizing the need to manage freshwater inflows and vegetation composition to maintain soil carbon storage under a changing climate.

Global Warming Amplifies Nitrogen Over Phosphorus Limitation in Aquatic Ecosystems: A Multi‐Trophic Meta‐Analysis - Misha Zhong; Ping Xie; Yuhao Feng; Wenxuan Han; Enzai Du; Di Tian; Ruijing Ma; Yuwei Wang; Zengliang Jian; Jianfeng Chen; Qingyang Rao; Shangsheng Sun; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2026)
Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) availability fundamentally regulate the structure and function of aquatic ecosystems. While global‐scale patterns of relative nutrient limitation have been increasingly documented, their responses to climate warming remain poorly quantified. To address this, we integrated a global meta‐analysis of nutrient enrichment experiments (spanning 510 sites and multiple trophic levels) with large‐scale datasets of water chemistry from 3403 lakes and 13,032 marine sites. Meta‐analysis showed that primary producers have the strongest responses to nutrient enrichment, especially NP co‐addition, with effects attenuating at higher trophic levels. Increasing temperature amplifies the response of primary producers to nutrient enrichment, but not for consumers, indicating that warming disrupts energy flow to higher trophic levels. Furthermore, relative N limitation of primary producers intensifies with increasing temperature and decreasing latitude in both freshwater and marine ecosystems. Global field observation of water chemistry supports such a pattern as water N:P mass ratios decrease with increasing temperature across lake and marine ecosystems. Our findings provide robust empirical evidence that the relative nutrient limitation of primary producers exhibits a strong latitudinal gradient and climate warming could fundamentally enhance nitrogen over phosphorus limitation in aquatic ecosystems, which have critical implications for ecosystem functioning and management in a warmer world.

Multi‐Omics Analysis of Gut Microecological Variations in Colorectal Cancer - Wu Yinhang; Zhuang Jing; Chu Jian; Chen Zhiqin; Yu Xiaojian; Wang Zefeng; Wang Yingchen; Qian Peng; Han Shuwen (Environmental Microbiology, 2026)
Gut bacteria, metabolites and trace elements are involved in the whole process of the occurrence and development of colorectal cancer (CRC). The aim of this study was to explore the variety of gut microbes, metabolites and trace elements in the whole life cycle (from occurrence to metastasis to cachexia) of CRC. Stool samples from 302 volunteers (107 CRC, 69 adenoma dvanced, 126 controls) underwent DNA extraction and full‐length 16S rDNA sequencing (PacBio Sequel II). Gut metabolites and trace elements were analysed by mass spectrometry to assess CRC‐associated variations. The results found that a total of seven bacteria ( Peptostreptococcus anaerobius , etc.), one trace element (Plumbum) and four metabolites (VLH, etc.) could be used as biomarkers to construct CRC identification models with an accuracy of 93.3%. Metastatic CRC showed distinct microbial/metabolite profiles (10 bacteria such as Faecalibacterium_prausnitzii_G and 19 metabolites such as adrenic acid), while Lachnotalea soehngenii , PD 0200347 and Vanadium predicted malnutrition risk (80% accuracy). In conclusion, gut bacteria, metabolites and trace elements serve as predictive biomarkers for CRC risk, metastasis and malnutrition while supporting therapeutic drug research.

Post‐Heatwave Coral Health Coincides With Host‐Specific Symbiodiniaceae‐Bacteria Consortia - Han Zhang; Xinqing Zheng; Qifang Wang; Xijie Zhou; Ling Cai; Liyang Zhan; Dingyong Huang; Tuo Shi (Environmental Microbiology, 2026)
Coral reefs are facing unprecedented damage due to climate‐driven marine heatwaves (MHWs). While coral response to elevated temperatures is inextricably linked to coral‐associated microalgae (Symbiodiniaceae) and bacteria, the role of algal‐bacterial interactions in affecting coral resilience to thermal stress remains obscure. Here we show coral health indicated by distinct compositions of Symbiodiniaceae‐bacteria consortia in two coral species, the massive Porites lutea and the laminar Duncanopsammia peltata , upon exposure to an unusual MHW. P. lutea exhibited thermal resilience by maintaining an obligate partnership with the heat‐tolerant Cladocopium C15 under both healthy and bleached states, alongside conservative bacterial community changes between the two states driven primarily by deterministic processes; whereas D. peltata associated with the heat‐sensitive Cladocopium C1 in bleached state but the heat‐tolerant Durusdinium D1/D4 in healthy state, with stochastically driven, more liberal bacterial community changes between the two states. This distinction between P. lutea and D. peltata in their Symbiodiniaceae‐bacteria consortia reflects a specialist/generalist strategy in partner selection given the status of coral health, underscoring an evolutionary trade‐off between high‐fidelity symbioses for persistence under chronic stress and rapid microbiome turnover for transient bleaching resilience. Broadly, the host‐specific, coordinated Symbiodiniaceae‐bacteria community differentiation following MHWs, may inform future coral conservation and restoration practises in an era of escalating climate change.

Morphological Response of Benthic Foraminifera Quinqueloculina seminula to Sediment Grain Size: Results from Culture Experiment - Minghang He; Jiale Li; Runhai Xin; Wentao Yu; Wei Han; Shuaishuai Dong (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
Benthic foraminifera are valuable bioindicators in modern and paleo-environmental studies due to their sensitivity to ecological changes. While sediment grain size is a fundamental factor structuring benthic habitats, its direct impact on benthic foraminifera remains poorly understood, as field studies are often complicated by covarying environmental parameters. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted a 14-week controlled laboratory culture experiment to investigate the biological response of a common benthic foraminifera Quinqueloculina seminula to different sediment grain sizes. Specimens were cultured in three distinct sediment grain size treatments (50, 150 and 250 μm), representing a gradient from fine to coarse sand. Our results demonstrate a clear and significant positive relationship between sediment grain size and the test size of Q. seminula. Furthermore, the species exhibited significant morphological plasticity, with the ratio of length/width increasing from 1.61 in fine sediment to 1.71 in coarse sediment. Individuals of Q. seminula in coarse sediment developed more elongate tests, while those in fine sediment maintained a more rounded morphology. This study provides the first experimental evidence that sediment grain size can drive significant changes in the size and morphology of Q. seminula. The observed phenotypic plasticity likely represents an adaptation to optimize locomotion and energetic allocation in different sedimentary environments. These findings confirmed the importance of sediment granulometry as a key control on foraminiferal biology and have important implications for the use of morphological data in paleoenvironmental reconstructions and modern biomonitoring.

Subsurface Drip Irrigation Optimization: Strategic Calibration of Dripper Flow and Pipe Burial Depth to Maximize Tomato Physiological Performance, Yield and Fruit Quality in Greenhouse Cultivation - Ming Wang; Guoliang Zhai; Jiumao Cai; Mingxia Wang; Jingtao Qin; Jinzhao Han; Guilin Tian; Junjie Feng (Irrigation and Drainage, 2026)
To address water scarcity and improve tomato production quality, a 2‐year, two‐factor completely randomized experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of subsurface drip irrigation (SSDI) flow rate (0.9, 1.6 and 2.0 L/h denoted as F0, F1 and F2) and burial depth (0, 15 and 25 cm denoted as D0, D15 and D25) on tomato growth. SSDI significantly reshaped the vertical distribution of soil moisture. The soil water content (SWC) in both the shallow (0–40 cm) and deep (60–100 cm) layers exhibited sensitivity to the dripper flow rate and burial depth. The SWC in the 0‐ to 20‐cm layer decreased by 16%–72% with increasing depth, whereas that in the 20‐ to 40‐cm layer increased by 14% with flow. Below 60 cm, SWC showed enrichment with increasing flow and depth, reaching 48%. This vertical heterogeneity governs plant physiological responses. The F2D15 optimized growth by aligning wetting zones with the root system, whereas deep burial partially suppressed fruit number. Regarding fruit quality, F0 increased soluble sugars through water stress, whereas D25 significantly reduced soluble acids, raising the sugar‐to‐acid ratio. Comprehensive evaluation revealed that F2D15 ranked first in both years of trials, making it a recommended parameter for SSDI in local greenhouse tomato production.

Numerical Investigation on Hydrodynamic Characteristics of Variable Flexible Tube Underwater Object Suction Robot - Yida Zhu; Fenglei Han; Qing Chang; Wangyuan Zhao; Shuxuan Liang; Jiaqi Yu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
Remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs) play a significant role in the domain of underwater robotics, as observed in the field of deep-sea aquaculture. However, conventional stationary suction-tube underwater collection robots often struggle to efficiently collect target organisms located within complex reef environments. To address this limitation, this paper proposes an underwater object suction robot with a variable flexible tube. For vision-based object recognition tasks, stable vehicle motion is essential, as hydrodynamic disturbances can significantly degrade visual accuracy. Therefore, a systematic numerical investigation is conducted into the hydrodynamic characteristics of the ROV under different suction-tube shapes. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations are used to evaluate the resistance acting on the vehicle. The results provide guidance for motion control strategies aimed at reducing disturbance effects and improving the robustness of underwater robotic vision.

Light Color and Intensity-Dependent Modulation of Phototactic Behavior Mediating Orientation Guidance in Schizothoracine Fishes - Zhe Wang; Minrui Lai; Hongze Li; Yudong Wang; Rukui Zeng; Jianzhang Lv; Tao He; Changhai Han; Xiaogang Wang (Fishes, 2026)
Visual cues are critical for orientation and migration in riverine fishes, providing potential mechanisms for behavioral guidance. This study investigated how light spectrum and intensity interact to modulate phototactic responses in two schizothoracine fishes from the upper Yalong River. Results showed Schizopygopsis malacanthus preferred blue light and avoided red light, with preferences shifting with flow intensity; Schizothorax kozlovi favored green light and avoided light-red light, with minimal flow impact. We propose that engineers build fishway entrances or ideal habitat attractors that prioritize low-intensity blue light (10 lx) and medium-intensity green light (50 lx), supplemented by medium-intensity blue light (50 lx). This study provides scientific evidence and application value for restoring fish habitats, fish passages, and fisheries.

Distinct ecological strategies drive divergent assembly: strong deterministic specialization in fungi versus higher stochastic adaptability in archaea in coastal salt marshes - Kaiqi Lu; Yuan Su; Xiaodao Wei; Yam Prasad Dhital; Md. Jaker Hossain; Qiuxun Lin; Han Su (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2026)
Coastal salt marshes are among the most productive ecosystems on Earth, playing a critical role in “Blue Carbon” sequestration and biogeochemical cycling. However, in this dynamic habitat characterized by strong environmental gradients, the mechanisms by which microorganisms from different domains—Archaea and Fungi—respond to spatiotemporal environmental rhythms to maintain community stability remain poorly understood. This study systematically investigated the community composition, assembly mechanisms, and niche characteristics of archaea and fungi in sediments across a broad latitudinal gradient and seasonal scales along the coast of China. The results revealed distinct and contrasting ecological strategies between these two microbial groups. Fungal communities exhibited high environmental sensitivity. In contrast, archaeal communities demonstrated remarkable habitat resilience. This study highlights the contrasting mechanisms where archaea maintain structural stability through a higher relative proportion of generalists and stochastic resilience, while fungi respond to environmental changes through a more extreme reliance on niche specialization and deterministic turnover, providing a new theoretical framework for understanding the maintenance of multi-domain microbial assemblages in coastal wetlands under global climate change.

A Small-Sample Graph Neural Network Approach for Predicting Sortie Mission Reliability of Shipborne Vehicle Layouts - Han Shi; Nengjian Wang; Qinhui Liu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
Conventional methods for calculating sortie mission reliability of shipborne vehicle layouts suffer from excessive computational overhead, long runtimes, and large labeled data requirements. To address these limitations, this work proposes a specialized graph neural network architecture tailored for limited-data small-sample scenarios, denoted as the Small-Sample Graph Neural Network (SS-GNN). The proposed SS-GNN integrates multi-relational graph convolutional layers, an adaptive attention weighting mechanism, small-sample regularization techniques, and an uncertainty quantification module to accurately capture the heterogeneous multidimensional dependencies between vehicles. To further improve learning performance under data-scarce conditions, we employ a hybrid training strategy combining meta-learning-based pretraining, contrastive learning for representation enhancement, knowledge distillation, and transfer learning. Experimental results demonstrate that SS-GNN substantially outperforms traditional reliability calculation methods, classical machine learning models, and state-of-the-art GNN baselines across three key dimensions: predictive accuracy, computational efficiency, and generalization robustness, while also providing theoretically grounded uncertainty estimates for all predictions. This work provides both a theoretical foundation and a practical technical framework for shipborne vehicle reliability prediction and offers a generalizable solution for small-sample graph regression tasks in industrial domains. Future work will focus on extending the approach to extremely low-data regimes via specialized few-shot learning algorithms, incorporating dynamic relation modeling for time-varying sortie processes, and integrating domain knowledge graphs to broaden its operational applicability.

Effects of the herbal prescription Kami Guibi-tang on brain function in amnestic mild cognitive impairment: a task-based and resting-state fMRI study - Dongjoo Kim; Na-yeon Kim; Min-jae Kwak; Kyeong-Hwa Heo; Han-Gyul Lee; Seungwon Kwon; Seung-Yeon Cho; Seong-Uk Park; Woo-Sang Jung; Sang-Kwan Moon; Chang-Nam Ko; Hyug-Gi Kim; et al. (Brain Imaging and Behavior, 2026)
Amnestic mild cognitive impairment represents a prodromal stage of Alzheimer’s disease characterized by episodic memory deficits and subtle alterations in brain function. Although the traditional herbal formula Kami Guibi-tang (KGT) has been reported to exert cognitive benefits, its neural effects have not been evaluated using functional neuroimaging. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 84 individuals with amnestic mild cognitive impairment received either KGT or placebo for 24 weeks. A total of 73 participants (36 in the KGT group and 37 in the placebo group) completed the intervention and were included in the final analyses. All participants underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging during a face-name association task and a working memory task, as well as resting-state scans. Task-based imaging data were analyzed using voxel-wise and region-of-interest approaches, and associations between changes in task-related activation and cognitive performance were also examined. Resting-state functional connectivity was analyzed to examine regional connectivity changes. At baseline, the placebo group showed greater activation in memory- and attention-related regions, including the posterior cingulate cortex, frontal areas, and thalamus. These voxel-wise differences were no longer observed after the intervention. Region-of-interest analyses using linear mixed-effects models revealed significant group × time interactions in several frontal, cingulate, and thalamic regions, with activation declining in the placebo group but remaining relatively preserved or showing modest increases in the KGT group. Resting-state analyses further demonstrated increased connectivity between the left precuneus and right posterior cingulate cortex following KGT administration. These findings suggest that KGT may modulate brain activity and connectivity in regions involved in episodic and working memory. While preliminary, these results provide neuroimaging-based evidence for its potential effects on memory-related neural processes in the early stages of cognitive decline.

Discovering anti-obesity blue food compounds via combined deep learning and in silico approaches - Seo Hyun Shin; Eunseok Oh; Chanyoon Park; Seung Man Oh; Hee Jeong Hwang; Jeong Yun You; Hyeri Ryu; Gihyun Hur; Ji Woo Kim; Jung Han Yoon Park; Eun Roh; Heonjoong Kang; et al. (Molecular Diversity, 2026)
Blue foods, such as fish and aquatic sources, are rich in bioactive compounds with potential health benefits, including anti-obesity effects. AMPK, a key regulator of energy homeostasis and adipogenesis, plays a vital role in combating obesity by inhibiting adipocyte differentiation. This study aimed to identify natural AMPK activators from underexplored blue foods using a deep learning-based compound-protein interaction (CPI) prediction model that incorporates both local and global features of proteins and compounds. Local and global molecular characteristics were systematically represented using sequence-based encodings, molecular fingerprints, and protein descriptors to enhance the model’s ability to capture diverse biochemical relationships. The deep learning framework integrated these multimodal features through neural network modules to predict potential compound–protein interactions. In silico molecular docking was performed to refine the predicted interactions, leading to the identification of 94 top-scoring compounds with strong binding affinity toward AMPK. In vitro validation of five commercially available compounds confirmed anti-obesity activity. Notably, cyclo(Pro-Val) from Ulva pertusa , activated AMPK and modulated key adipogenic markers, suggesting its potential as a natural AMPK activator for obesity prevention and the feasibility of AI-driven screening for marine bioactives.

Brain macrostructure correlates of financial altruism in older adults without dementia - Laura Fenton; Gali H. Weissberger; Lauren E. Salminen; Anya Samek; Daisy T. Noriega-Makarskyy; Cassidy P. Molinare; Jordan Williams; Emma Oyen; Paige Kim; Jenna Axelrod; Laura Mosqueda; Hussein Yassine; et al. (Brain Imaging and Behavior, 2026)
Greater financial altruism (i.e., the tendency to give money to an anonymous individual) has been previously associated with poorer performance on neuropsychological tests sensitive to cognitive changes occurring in early Alzheimer’s disease (AD). While these findings provide initial support for the idea that financial altruism may be associated with early AD-related brain changes, no study has used MRI to investigate structural brain correlates of financial altruism in older adults. To address this gap in the literature, the current study investigated associations between brain macrostructure and financial altruism in 101 older adults free from dementia (mean age = 68.45±7.15, mean education = 16.61±2.14, 76% female, 73% White) using a high-field 7 Tesla MRI. Results revealed no significant associations between financial altruism and a priori regions of interest (entorhinal cortex, hippocampus, ventromedial prefrontal cortex, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, and temporoparietal junction) in the entire sample. However, there was a significant interaction between financial altruism and income, whereby greater financial altruism was associated with lower hippocampal volume in those with a reported income below $100,000. Collectively these results suggest that financial altruism in the context of lower income, but not financial altruism in general, may reflect suboptimal brain aging, and perhaps greater risk of conversion to AD.

Integrating eDNA metabarcoding and functional trait analysis to uncover fish community structure and assembly mechanism in the Taiwan strait - Weiyi He; Hao Huang; Lei Wang; Danyun Ou; Jiaqiao Wang; Runze Han; Yanxu Zhang; Jinli Qiu; Weiwen Li; Kar-Hoe Loh; Sze-Wan Poong (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2026)
Marine fish communities in coastal systems are increasingly shaped by environmental gradients associated with anthropogenic pressures and climate variability, yet how these factors influence community assembly and functional traits remain poorly understood. In this study, environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding using the 12S MiFish primer with 33 water samples was integrated with taxonomic and functional diversity analyses, co-occurrence network analysis, the neutral community model, hierarchical modeling of species communities, and single-trait-based community-weighted means to investigate fish communities in the Taiwan Strait (TWS). This interdisciplinary approach provides both a unique perspective and a comprehensive framework for fish biodiversity assessment. Fish communities exhibited high modularity and weak interspecific interactions, with an uneven distribution of species within functional space, indicating elevated ecological vulnerability. Community assembly was jointly governed by stochastic and deterministic processes, with NO₂⁻ identified as a significant environmental driver shaping fish community assembly. Notably, fish communities in the inshore and principal axis regions exhibited higher clustering coefficient but lower network modularity compared to other regions. Hierarchical modeling of species communities and community-weighted means further indicated clear distributional and trait differences among fish from the estuarine to offshore areas, consistent with species-specific responses to environmental gradients from inshore to offshore areas. Overall, TWS fish communities are dominated by species with very small and small body-length traits, while reef-associated fishes are mainly concentrated in inshore and midshore regions. Fish community assembly and functional traits in TWS exhibited systematic variation along the offshore distance gradient and were jointly modulated by key environmental factors.

First record of Pseudadenoides kofoidii, a marine sand-dwelling dinoflagellate, from Geoje Island, Korea: morphology, phylogeny, and growth and fatty acid content under different temperature conditions - Da Bin Choi; Minseok Jeong; Zhun Li; Kyong Ha Han; Minjae Kim; Pung-Guk Jang; Joo-Eun Woo; Joo Yeon Youn; Bum Soo Park; Jin Ho Kim; Joo-Hwan Kim; Hyeon Ho Shin (Algae, 2026)
To clarify an unidentified marine sand-dwelling dinoflagellate isolated from samples collected at a sandy beach of Geoje Island, Korea, its morphology and molecular phylogeny based on the small and partial large subunit rRNA gene sequences were examined. In addition, growth responses and fatty acid content of the isolate under different temperature conditions were investigated to assess its physiological traits and aquaculture potential. Cells were 26.3–41.5 μm long (34.8 ± 3.6 μm) and 19.8–40.8 μm deep (28.9 ± 4.8 μm), and a nucleus located in the dorsal half of the cell and pyrenoid surrounded by a starch sheath were observed. Scanning electron microscope observations revealed that the cells were characterized by a lack of precingular plates, scattered thecal pores, a single flagellar pore and a shallow anterior cingulum. One or two pores were present on the plate 3p, and one pore was consistently observed on plate 4p. The phylogenetic analyses revealed that the Korean isolate can be identified as Pseudadenoides kofoidii that has not previously been described in Korean coastal area. In the growth experiments, the isolate appeared to prefer moderate temperatures (15 and 20°C) rather than higher temperature (25°C). Although this species exhibited temperature-dependent variation in docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) production, P. kofoidii maintained remarkably high levels of DHA and EPA in its fatty acid composition (>42% of total fatty acids), highlighting its potential as a promising marine source of fatty acids for aquaculture applications.

Novel biodiversity and biogeography insights of filamentous Bangiales (Rhodophyta) from China - Yan-De Wang; Yin-Yin Deng; Cui-Cui Tian; Han-Ru Ge; Wei Zhou; Nan-Jing Ji; Li-En Yang (Algae, 2026)
The taxonomy of filamentous Bangiales was challenging due to its plastic and simple morphology. Molecular approaches play a significant role in revealing cryptic biodiversity and resolving phylogenetic relationships. Nonetheless, the biodiversity of filamentous Bangiales in many regions, including China, has not been thoroughly investigated yet using updated methods. In this study, we investigated the biodiversity of filamentous Bangiales in China, employing a more comprehensive and detailed sampling approach. The rbcL and 18S gene sequences (partial or complete) of 49 specimens collected from 37 sites were obtained. Phylogenetic analysis resolved these specimens into four clades, including Bangia, ‘Bangia’ 1, ‘Bangia’ 2, and Pseudoganglia. Seven putative species were delineated using empirical methods, including Automatic Barcode Gap Discovery (ABGD), General Mixed Yule Coalescent (GMYC), and Bayesian Poisson tree processes (bPTP), as well as genealogical analysis. Among them, four were species previously reported, two were cryptic species, and the other was a new record in China. The distribution of these molecularly delineated species was mapped along China’s coastline. Similar to the bladed Bangiales, antitropical, transoceanic, and thermal-gradient distribution patterns were also observed for filamentous Bangiales on a global scale. The ancestral region was retraced by incorporating species data from China into existing datasets using BioGeoBEARS with BAYAREALIKE + J as the best-supported model. Under this model, East Asia shows the highest marginal probability as the ancestral area for the crown clade, though uncertainty remains across alternative regions. A most parsimonious expansion scenario of Bangiales from east Gondwana to other regions of the world was proposed.

Establishment of Ship-Motion-Based Operational Limiting Criteria for Safe and Efficient Offshore Cable-Laying Operations - Xu Han; Zhibo Xu; Xin Li; Wei Shi; Zhipeng Leng (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
As offshore wind projects are located further and deeper in the ocean, time-intensive and costly cable laying plays an increasingly critical role in offshore wind farm construction. Cable laying can be designed and operated based on the critical motions of the laying ship to potentially improve the operational window. However, there is no complete procedure for establishing ship-motion-based operational limiting criteria to ensure sufficient safety while balancing efficiency. This paper proposes a complete algorithm for designing cable-laying operations by employing specific ship-motion characteristics as operational limiting criteria, based on their strong correlation with the dominant structural response, e.g., the minimum effective cable tension. A reduction factor β is introduced as an indicator for limiting criteria selection and value determination. This guarantees operational safety without compromising efficiency. The determined value of the limiting criteria is independent of the applied fitting function used in correlation analysis, thus offering greater adaptability. By dynamically selecting ship-motion indicators across different ship headings, the proposed algorithm extends the operational window by approximately 10% compared to conventional Hs-based limits, while improving utilization in hazardous sea states by approximately 50%. The effects of ship motion statistical description, laying conditions, and fitting strategies on operational windows are also discussed. The proposed algorithm provides an improvement of cable-laying operation design, leading to safer and smarter marine operations in real-time.

Computational Modeling of Collateral Circulation and Arteriolar Vasodilation in Ischemic Tissue Perfusion - Nolan Moreaux; Chang Min Lee; Bon-Kwon Koo; Keun-Hwa Jung; Jung-Kyu Han; Hyeyeon Chang; Hyun Jin Kim (Annals of Biomedical Engineering, 2026)
Purpose Despite substantial advances in computational cardiovascular modeling, simplifying assumptions often overlook key compensatory mechanisms. To better capture physiological responses under pathological conditions, we incorporate two essential compensatory mechanisms—collateral circulation and arteriolar vasodilation—into a multiscale blood perfusion simulation framework. Methods Collateral vessels are stochastically generated to supply ischemic regions, with model parameters systematically varied to control vessel density, caliber, and spatial distribution. Arteriolar vasodilation is modeled to represent the combined response of vascular smooth muscle cells to local metabolic and hemodynamic stimuli. To assess their impact on perfusion, artificial stenoses are introduced into both an idealized geometry and a subject-specific cerebrovascular model. Results Simulation results across varying collateral configurations and vasodilation capacities demonstrate that perfusion enhancement from sub-resolution collateral vessels alone is limited and highly dependent on vessel caliber and density. In contrast, combining collateral flow with vasodilation produces a more pronounced improvement in tissue perfusion. These findings suggest that arteriolar vasodilation serves as the primary mechanism for ischemic compensation, with collateral circulation providing secondary support which is consistent with clinical observations. Conclusion The proposed methods enable multiscale blood flow simulations while accounting for the main autoregulatory mechanisms. The models have been verified using literature data and are shown to provide accurate results.

Nitrogen Dominates Sedimentary Organic Carbon Distribution in a Tropical Marine Ranch - Xiaoran Shi; Liting Chen; Aiyao Yang; Yu Han; Xiaoju Pan; Zhaoyun Wang; Weijie Gong; Xiangen Wu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
Marine ranching, as a pivotal strategy for enhancing the ocean’s carbon sequestration potential, offers significant potential to mitigate nearshore fishery depletion and restore marine ecosystems amid the global carbon neutrality agenda. However, the mechanistic pathways linking sediment total organic carbon (TOC) to various environmental factors in tropical marine ranches remain insufficiently quantified. This study selected the Wuzhizhou Island Marine Ranch in Hainan Province—a representative tropical marine ranch—as the research site. Field investigations and sampling were conducted during the dry (March 2024) and wet (September 2024) seasons to quantify TOC in surface sediments and associated environmental variables. A two-step analytical framework, integrating Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Generalized Additive Models (GAM), was employed to elucidate the environmental drivers governing the spatiotemporal dynamics of TOC. The results show that the surface sediment TOC at Wuzhizhou Island Marine Ranch exhibits a distinct spatial gradient—Core Reef > Atoll > Control > Estuarine, and a pronounced seasonal pattern with elevated concentrations in the dry season relative to the wet season. The spatiotemporal differentiation of TOC is mainly driven by a gradient (explaining 52.1% of variation) that encompasses processes related to carbon accumulation from terrestrial inputs and primary production, as well as organic matter degradation promoted by nutrients and higher water temperatures. Sediment total nitrogen (TN) emerges as the primary environmental driver of TOC distribution, contributing up to 46.9% of the variance at an extremely significant level (p

Operational Performance of Aquavoltaics Under Different Stakeholder Cooperation Schemes: Evidence from White Shrimp Aquaculture in Taiwan - Bo-Ying Chen; Po-Lin Huang; Yen-Lung Hou; Farok Afero; Szu-Han Liu; Cheng-Ting Huang (Fishes, 2026)
Aquaculture faces rising climate-change risks, while photovoltaic power generation requires substantial land resources, underscoring the need for multifunctional land use in the energy transition. Aquavoltaics—combining aquaculture with solar power—has emerged, and its success depends on stakeholder cooperation. Using white shrimp aquaculture in Taiwan as a case study, this study examines four cooperation schemes—a sole-investment scheme, a photovoltaic-led leasing scheme, a landowner lease-back scheme, and a separated aquaculture and photovoltaic operation scheme—across six aquavoltaic types. Cost–benefit and data envelopment analyses assess the economic returns and operational efficiency of aquaculture operators and photovoltaic companies under each scheme. The results show that all schemes offer profit potential but differ in efficiency and income distribution. The landowner lease-back scheme is most efficient for aquaculture operators, while photovoltaic companies operate near the efficiency frontier in all schemes. The findings highlight that cooperation design shapes the economic feasibility, efficiency, and livelihood impact of aquavoltaic systems, providing a useful reference for future policy and model design.

In-situ Ag nanoparticle-embedded core-shell Cu-MOFs: enhanced photocatalytic activity for efficient degradation of petroleum oil spills in high-salinity seawater - Li Li; Guiguang Wu; Heng Luo; Ju Wang; Haijun Wu; Qianqian Hao; Yunxiao Han; Meihong Ge; Changbo Zhong; Yenan Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2026)
Oil spill incidents occur widely around the globe, posing significant threats to the multifunctionality of coastal ecosystems, economic development, and human health. However, conventional oil contamination remediation approaches are plagued by inherent limitations, including low treatment efficiency, secondary pollution risks, and poor universality. To address this issue, a copper-based metal-organic framework (Cu-MOF) was synthesized via a solvothermal route in this study. Utilizing this Cu-MOF as a hard template, silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were immobilized within its cage-like porous channels through an in-situ reduction strategy, yielding a Ag@Cu-MOF composite photocatalytic material. The degradation performance of this composite toward oil pollutants derived from marine oil spills was systematically evaluated under UV-visible hybrid light irradiation. The experimental results demonstrated that when the loading content of Ag NPs was optimized to 5%, the composite achieved a degradation efficiency of 95.1% toward simulated oil spill pollutants (with crude oil employed as the model contaminant) at an initial concentration of 100 mg·L -1 within 2 hours. This degradation efficiency was significantly superior to that of pristine Cu-MOF (51.3%) and bare Ag NPs (25.9%). Mechanistic investigations revealed that the Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) effect of Ag NPs enables the extension of the material’s light response range to the visible spectral region. Concurrently, the Schottky junction formed at the interface between Cu-MOF and Ag facilitates the efficient separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, which remarkably enhances the photocatalytic activity of the composite. Furthermore, the Ag@Cu-MOF composite exhibited excellent structural and functional stability in a simulated seawater system with a salinity of 3.5% (mimicking real marine conditions). After four consecutive reuse cycles, the degradation efficiency remained above 88%, which not only validates the material’s reusability but also provides a novel material platform and technical paradigm for the efficient remediation of marine oil spills, holding great significance for advancing coastal ecological restoration practices.

Collaborative scheduling of external container trucks and yard cranes for resilient port operations - Yamin Zhou; Yongsheng Yang; Han Zhang; Bing Sun; Shiwen Zhu; Xinqiang Chen; Octavian Postolache (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2026)
External container trucks and yard cranes are key equipment for yard operations in automated container terminals, and their operational efficiency is crucial to improving terminal service levels. In the context of growing uncertainties in global shipping—such as geopolitical conflicts, pandemics, and natural disasters—enhancing the resilience of port operations has become increasingly important. The uncertain arrival sequence of external container trucks within their appointment windows, coupled with the misalignment between container storage locations and truck arrival order, often leads to frequent container relocations in the yard. To address this issue, this paper develops a collaborative scheduling optimization model for external container trucks and yard cranes under a scenario of partial information availability, with the goal of minimizing the total cost of import container operations. In this context, operational resilience is realized through the model’s ability to swiftly recover efficiency by minimizing costs (e.g., reducing relocations and waiting times) via coordinated scheduling when facing the mismatch disruption. The model is solved using an improved Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, and the optimization outcomes are analyzed. Results demonstrate that by adjusting the number of trucks per group, optimizing the container retrieval sequence, and rationally assigning yard crane tasks, it is possible to reduce container relocation costs, truck waiting costs, and crane movement costs, thereby lowering the overall cost of import container operations and contributing to more resilient and intelligent yard management.
