Carotenoids of Halophilic Archaea: Production, Properties and Biotechnological Applications - Pardeep Sheokand; Manoj Kumar Yadav; Bijender Singh; Svetoslav Dimitrov Todorov; Michael L. Chikindas; Santosh Kumar Tiwari (Probiotics and Antimicrobial Proteins, 2026)
Halophilic Archaea possess fascinating physiological characteristics with unique ecological significance. Among the carotenoids, bacterioruberin is one of the most studied which is produced by different halophilic Archaea with beneficial characteristics such as antioxidant, antimicrobial and anticancer activity. Their metabolites exhibit distinctive characteristics such as stability in extreme conditions, structural modifications and biological activities, which may be used to develop innovative products for different biotechnological applications. At the laboratory level, carotenoid production depends on several physical and chemical parameters, such as incubation temperature, pH, and medium composition, in particular the presence and concentration of NaCl, CH 3 COONa, and MgSO₄. Thus, it is still terra incognita , an area that provides opportunities for research in the search of new natural compounds with numerous potential applications. This is a narrative review of carotenoids produced by halophilic archaea with an emphasis on biosynthesis, extraction, safety and potential biotechnological applications.

Characterization of endogenous pararetroviruses in yam (Dioscorea spp.) genomes revealed four pararetrovirus groups, including a dioscovirus-like lineage: implications for diagnostics and yam germplasm exchange - B. O. Osundahunsi; L. Moshood; O. A. Kolade; B. O. Odu; P. Lava Kumar (Archives of Virology, 2026)
Yams ( Dioscorea spp.) are an important vegetatively propagated food security crop grown for their starchy tubers. Yams are susceptible to several viruses, and their genomes harbor a diverse array of endogenous pararetroviral sequences (EPRVs), which complicate diagnostics and germplasm exchange because of their similarity to episomal viruses. To better characterize EPRV diversity, we analyzed 86 publicly available whole-genome sequences from five Dioscorea species ( D. rotundata , D. alata , D. praehensilis , D. abyssinica , and D. dumetorum ). Assembled genomes were screened for endogenous pararetrovirus sequences (EPRVs) using the CAULIFINDER pipeline, targeting conserved RT/RNase H domains of the Caulimoviridae family. Our analyses revealed four major EPRV groups in D. rotundata : Yendovirus, Badnavirus, Yam Endovirus 1, and a Dioscovirus-like lineage. While most insertions were fragmented, we found full-length putative viral genomes corresponding to the Yam Badnavirus and Dioscovirus-like clades. These findings expand knowledge of yam EPRV diversity, contribute to the development of improved diagnostic tools to differentiate endogenous and episomal forms, and promote a science-based, risk-proportionate approach to yam phytosanitation that facilitates global germplasm exchange while maintaining biosecurity.

Antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a rapidly evolving therapeutic modality, combining the selective targeting of monoclonal antibodies with highly potent small molecule payloads. Their inherent structural complexity demands a sophisticated and multi-faceted bioanalytical approach spanning preclinical discovery through late-stage clinical development. This white paper, developed by the ADC Working Group of the AAPS bioanalytical community, comprising over 100 members from industry, contract research organizations (CROs), and regulatory agencies, provides updated recommendations for ADC bioanalysis. Building upon the foundational 2013 AAPS position paper and recent publications governing regulatory frameworks on PK considerations, this work addresses advances in bioanalytical quantitation strategies for total antibody (tAb), conjugated ADC, free (unconjugated) payload, and drug-to antibody ratio (DAR); novel immunogenicity assessment considerations; soluble target interference; critical reagent lifecycle management; payload-specific stability requirements; cross-validation strategies; and regulatory considerations. The recommendations presented herein reflect over a decade of scientific progress and are designed to serve as a comprehensive, empirically validated, and industry aligned bioanalytical framework for contemporary ADC drug development.

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

Balancing risk and reward: Toward resilient human–primate coexistence in a rapidly changing environment in Sulawesi, Indonesia - Amanda L. Ellwanger; Kristen S. Morrow; Ashni Kumar Dhawale; Henry R. Scharf; Putu Oka Ngakan; Erin P. Riley (Ambio, 2026)
This study explores human–moor macaque ( Macaca maura ) coexistence in Sulawesi, Indonesia, using resilience thinking to assess temporal patterns of coadaptation amidst stressors such as provisioning and road construction. Comparing data from 2016–2017 to 2023–2025, we examine changes in provisioning patterns, macaque roadside use, and people’s perceptions of macaques to evaluate factors that may test the system’s resilience. Our results show that although provisioning frequency has remained stable, hand-feeding is increasingly common and macaques have increased their use of roadside habitat. Additionally, people’s perceptions have shifted from excitement and novelty to fear and normalization. Decreasing tolerance, coupled with increased risks associated with roadside behavior, highlights the system’s potential to transition to a state incompatible with coexistence. Our results can be leveraged to promote resilient coexistence, e.g., interventions that enable safer roadside crossing for the macaques and community outreach programs that make use of people’s empathy for the macaques’ welfare.

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.

Aging kidney is associated with metabolic rewiring and epigenetic reprogramming - Pragney Deme; Rhea Bhargava; Heddwen L. Brooks; Norman J. Haughey; Prerna Kumar (GeroScience, 2026)
Understanding the direct connections between metabolism and chromatin dynamics may uncover potential mechanisms involved in the aging process of renal physiology. Despite known differences in incidence and aging renal disease, how biological aging intersects with renal metabolism and epigenetics in a sex-specific context remains poorly understood. Here, we determined the effect of age on renal metabolic pathways and metabolite cofactors of epigenetic modifiers in a sex-specific manner. We measured metabolites in kidney homogenates from young and aged mice by HPLC-TripleTOF (LC–MS). The major metabolic adaptations observed with aging include increased glycolysis, decreased fatty acid oxidation, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and impaired metabolic waste clearance in 24-month-old (aged) mice compared to 4-month-old (young) sex-matched mice. Additionally, we found elevated levels of methylation and acetylation of intermediate metabolites also known as ‘epimetabolites’ in aged mice. Furthermore, age-related alterations were detected in metabolites (acetyl-coenzyme A, flavin adenine dinucleotide, and α-ketoglutarate) that are essential cofactors for the activities of epigenetic enzymes. Sex-specific changes were observed with age such as, significantly enhanced amino acid catabolism and tryptophan metabolism and reduced lysophospholipase activity and ammonia clearance in aged female vs aged male mice. Our results reveal age- and sex-associated alterations in renal metabolic pathways, characterized by an increase in epigenetically modified intermediate metabolites with aging. These findings suggest a complex interplay between renal metabolomics and epigenetics and offer new insights into the mechanisms underlying sex-specific renal physiology of aging kidneys.

The 4E-BPs as Translational Regulators in Neurological Disorders: Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Potential - Sindhu S.

Protein translation is essential for maintaining the optimal functioning of the human nervous system. The 4E-Binding proteins (4E-BPs) are central regulators of this process, acting on the initiation factor eIF4E. Three homologs 4E-BP1, 4E-BP2, and 4E-BP3, are differentially expressed, with the phosphorylation state controlling cap-dependent translation in response to diverse physiological inputs, including growth factors, cytokines, hormones, nutrient availability, and signaling cascades converging on kinases such as mTOR. Dysregulation of 4E-BP activity has been implicated in multiple disease contexts, including neurodegenerative disorders (e.g., Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease), neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., Autism spectrum disorder, Epilepsy), neuropsychiatric conditions (e.g., Depression, Schizophrenia), and autoimmune diseases (e.g., Multiple sclerosis, Guillain–Barré syndrome). We aim to explore the importance of 4E-BPs through a neurological perspective and understand their role as therapeutic targets. In this review, we provide a comprehensive analysis of the three 4E-BP homologs in the central nervous system, emphasizing the CNS-specific dominance of 4E-BP2 and its link to synaptic plasticity and cognitive function. We further examine and provide mechanistic insights into how 4E-BPs contribute to disease pathogenesis, highlighting both shared and disorder-specific features. Finally, we discuss current therapeutic strategies aimed at modulating the mTOR/4E-BP axis, outline the limitations of existing approaches and identify emerging avenues for drug development. Together, these perspectives underscore the potential of 4E-BPs as both therapeutic targets and biomarkers in neurological disease.

Cognition is an animal's real‐time adaptation system for responding to change. Rapid environmental change, often anthropogenic, is expanding the range and severity of challenges confronting wild animals. Effective conservation requires a multifaceted approach that includes animals' capacities. Large‐brained, long‐lived animals such as marine mammals often have extensive capability to adaptively modify their behavior due to their cognition, which comprises the mechanisms of information acquisition, processing, and flexible action. Consequently, current behavior need not be a final predictor of future behavior for these animals. This flexibility provides an underutilized and under examined point of leverage for humans interested in improving life outcomes for wild animals. In this team‐written, interdisciplinary paper, we argue that application of cognitive approaches may facilitate many conservation efforts directed toward marine mammals. Starting with a workshop on this topic at the 24th Biennial Conference on the Biology of Marine Mammals, scientists representing a wide range of disciplinary expertise addressed eight different conservation concerns for six marine mammal species and provided potential cognitive explanations of and interventions aimed at related behavior. Our treatment highlights the value of integrated laboratory and field research, and the importance of tight lines of communication between scientists and conservation managers.

Orchidaceae, one of the largest plant families, have been predicted in several analyses to be under a higher level of threat than angiosperms as a whole. Despite this, compared to many other major groups of animals and plants, orchids are under-represented on the Red List of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Since 2000, concerted efforts have led to the number of orchids on the Global Red List increasing from eight to > 2,000 species, but many of these assessments are now outdated, and c. 28,000 species remain to be assessed for the first time. Here we review the current knowledge of the conservation status of orchids based on Red Listing and other methods, including machine learning and EDGE (Evolutionarily Distinct and Globally Endangered). At the geographical level, Sub-Saharan Africa is relatively well sampled for the Global Red List, whereas South and Central America and tropical Asia are poorly sampled. With the existing Red List assessments, levels of threat vary widely between tribes and subtribes. Tribes and subtribes with no or low sampling are identified. We discuss the main threats, and we identify climate change and fire as emerging threats, the former due to the potential for disruption of critical associations with pollinators and mycorrhizal fungi.

A CSF-1R inhibitor both prevents and treats triple-negative breast cancer brain metastases in hematogenous preclinical models - Wei Zhang; Samiur Rahman; Alex M. L.

(Clinical & Experimental Metastasis, 2025)
Brain metastasis is a common and serious complication of metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) with few effective treatments. Here, we evaluated the effect of targeting the brain tumor microenvironment via the myeloid colony-stimulating factor-1 receptor (CSF-1R) pathway using the small molecule inhibitor BLZ945. Studies were conducted in two TNBC hematogenous brain-tropic models, 4T1-BR5 and 231-BR, with endpoints of prevention of brain metastasis formation and treatment of established brain metastasis. BLZ945 reduced the formation of brain metastases in both models by 57–65% (all p < 0.01) in the prevention setting. In the treatment setting, more analogous to the clinical situation, BLZ945 reduced the number and size of metastases in both models by 44–65% and 61–72%, respectively (all p < 0.05). Treatment with BLZ945 significantly reduced the number of myeloid cells in both the uninvolved brain and metastatic regions, by 15–54% across models as early as three days post-treatment. Efficacy was achieved without the need for complete suppression of brain myeloid cells, suggesting that potential adverse effects of full myeloid suppression can be minimized. Additionally, BLZ945 reduced cancer cell proliferation and astrocyte activation in the tumor microenvironment in vivo . In vitro studies showed that BLZ945 inhibited the secretion of inflammatory cytokines that stimulated cancer cell invasion; BLZ945 also indirectly reduced cancer cell proliferation through astrocyte interaction. Our findings suggest that microglial CSF-1R controls a series of myeloid regulatory pathways, both alone and in concert with other brain microenvironmental cells. The data preclinically credential CSF-1R inhibition as a potential therapeutic strategy for TNBC brain metastases.

Background Past studies linking geologic and climatic controls on speciation in the Himalaya, Tibet and Hengduan (HTH) regions do not fully capture the mechanisms underlying patterns of plant diversity and endemism in hyperdiverse mountain ecosystems. Aims This study sheds new light on the orogenic and climatic drivers of plant endemism and diversity in the HTH region and unravels the mechanisms behind plant speciation and assembly. Materials & Methods We re‐examine the past findings on geo‐climatic controls on speciation in the HTH. We also analyse new datasets on the elevational patterns of endemic species richness in the HTH regions and correlate these with the hypsometric profiles based on digital elevation models of these regions. Results We discover that the phased evolution of HTH mountain‐building and climate oscillations, and species radiations were not exactly synchronous, but were interspersed with periods of inactivity. We find an inverse yet overlapping relationship between elevation‐area troughs (EATs) of hypsometric profiles and peaks of endemic plant richness in the HTH, indicating that most endemic species occupy the higher elevational belts with the least geographic areas. These elevational belts comprise geographically and biologically isolated habitats. Discussion and Conclusions We infer that orogeny, monsoon and glaciations have shaped the highly dissected HTH landscapes, characterised by high‐relief topography, leading to population isolation, speciation and endemism, albeit with temporal lags. Glacial–interglacial cycles have further promoted isolation, co‐habitation, hybridisation and polyploidy among plant populations, generating and accelerating endemic radiations. Our results provide crucial evidence linking mountain‐building, climatic events and landform development with plant species richness and endemism in the HTH regions and potentially in other mountain ecosystems.

Motivation Here, we make available a second version of the BioTIME database, which compiles records of abundance estimates for species in sample events of ecological assemblages through time. The updated version expands version 1.0 of the database by doubling the number of studies and includes substantial additional curation to the taxonomic accuracy of the records, as well as the metadata. Moreover, we now provide an R package (BioTIMEr) to facilitate use of the database. Main Types of Variables Included The database is composed of one main data table containing the abundance records and 11 metadata tables. The data are organised in a hierarchy of scales where 11,989,233 records are nested in 1,603,067 sample events, from 553,253 sampling locations, which are nested in 708 studies. A study is defined as a sampling methodology applied to an assemblage for a minimum of 2 years. Spatial Location and Grain Sampling locations in BioTIME are distributed across the planet, including marine, terrestrial and freshwater realms. Spatial grain size and extent vary across studies depending on sampling methodology. We recommend gridding of sampling locations into areas of consistent size. Time Period and Grain The earliest time series in BioTIME start in 1874, and the most recent records are from 2023. Temporal grain and duration vary across studies. We recommend doing sample‐level rarefaction to ensure consistent sampling effort through time before calculating any diversity metric. Major Taxa and Level of Measurement The database includes any eukaryotic taxa, with a combined total of 56,400 taxa. Software Format csv and. SQL.

Sympathetic-Mediated Intestinal Cell Death Contributes to Gut Barrier Impairment After Stroke - Kathryn Prame Kumar; Liam D. McKay; Huynh Nguyen; Jasveena Kaur; Jenny L. Wilson; Althea R. Suthya; Sonja J. McKeown; Helen E. Abud; Connie H. Y. Wong (Translational Stroke Research, 2025)
Tissue injury induced by stroke is traditionally thought to be localised to the brain. However, there is an accumulating body of evidence to demonstrate that stroke promotes pathophysiological consequences in peripheral tissues including the gastrointestinal system. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms underlying gut permeability after stroke. We utilised the clinically relevant experimental model of stroke called permanent intraluminal middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAO) to examine the effect of cerebral ischaemia on the gut. We detected stroke-induced gut permeability at 5 h after pMCAO. At this timepoint, we observed significantly elevated intestinal epithelial cell death in post-stroke mice compared to their sham-operated counterparts. At 24 h after stroke onset when the gut barrier integrity is restored, our findings indicated that post-stroke intestinal epithelium had higher expression of genes associated with fructose metabolism, and hyperplasia of intestinal crypts and goblet cells, conceivably as a host compensatory mechanism to adapt to the impaired gut barrier. Furthermore, we discovered that stroke-induced gut permeability was mediated by the activation of the sympathetic nervous system as pharmacological denervation decreased the stroke-induced intestinal epithelial cell death, goblet cell and crypt hyperplasia, and gut permeability to baseline levels. Our study identifies a previously unknown mechanism in the brain-gut axis by which stroke triggers intestinal cell death and gut permeability.

Feeding the growing human population sustainably amidst climate change is one of the most important challenges in the 21st century. Current practices often lead to the overuse of agronomic inputs, such as synthetic fertilizers and water, resulting in environmental contamination and diminishing returns on crop productivity. The complexity of agricultural systems, involving plant‐environment interactions and human management, presents significant scientific and technical challenges for developing sustainable practices. Addressing these challenges necessitates transdisciplinary research, involving intense collaboration among fields such as plant science, engineering, computer science, and social sciences. Five case studies are presented here demonstrating successful transdisciplinary approaches toward more sustainable water and fertilizer use. These case studies span multiple scales. By leveraging whole‐plant signaling, reporter plants can transform our understanding of plant communication and enable efficient application of water and fertilizers. The use of new fertilizer technologies could increase the availability of phosphorus in the soil. To accelerate advancements in breeding new cultivars, robotic technologies for high‐throughput plant screening in different environments at a population scale are discussed. At the ecosystem scale, phosphorus recovery from aquatic systems and methods to minimize phosphorus leaching are described. Finally, as agricultural outputs affect all people, integration of stakeholder perspectives and needs into research is outlined. These case studies highlight how transdisciplinary research and cross‐training among biologists, engineers, and social scientists bring diverse expertise to tackling grand challenges in sustainable agriculture, driving discovery and innovation.
