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.

Concrete structures in coastal–industrial regions are simultaneously exposed to acid rain, carbonation, and chloride ingress; however, most durability studies investigate these mechanisms independently, limiting realistic service-life prediction. This study presents an integrated experimental, statistical, and artificial neural network (ANN)-based evaluation of M40-grade concrete subjected to synthetic acid rain, accelerated carbonation, and combined carbonation–chloride environments. Laboratory simulations were conducted for exposure durations of 20, 40, 60, and 80 h to replicate aggressive atmospheric conditions. Mechanical degradation was assessed through compressive and splitting tensile strength tests, while chemical deterioration was quantified using depth-wise pH profiling and carbonation depth measurements. Results revealed that compressive strength decreased by up to ~ 25% under acid rain exposure and showed greater deterioration under combined carbonation–chloride conditions. Splitting tensile strength exhibited higher sensitivity to degradation, with reductions exceeding 20% at prolonged exposure durations. Surface pH declined from 12.6 to approximately 8.8, confirming rapid alkalinity loss in the outer 1 cm zone. Carbonation depth increased progressively, reaching ~ 11.5 mm in the combined exposure environment. Regression analysis demonstrated strong inverse correlations (R 2 > 0.90) between carbonation depth and mechanical properties, while one-way ANOVA confirmed statistically significant differences across exposure durations ( p < 0.05). To enhance predictive capability, an ANN model was developed using experimental parameters as inputs, achieving high prediction accuracy (R 2 = 0.98 for training and R 2 = 0.96 for testing). The findings highlight synergistic deterioration effects of multi-environmental exposure and emphasize durability-based design strategies for reinforced concrete structures in aggressive environments.

A modelling approach to ascertain the memory induced by Findlater Jet in the Arabian Sea - Vikas Kumar Kushwaha; S Prasanna Kumar; F Feba; Lakshmi R. Shenoy; Abhisek Chatterjee; Ashok Karumuri (Climate Dynamics, 2026)
The formation of Findlater Jet (FJ) in the lower atmosphere over the Arabian Sea (AS) is an integral part of the Indian summer monsoon (ISM, June–September). Based on observations, our earlier study indicated that the FJ-induced heat signal during the ISM is potentially preserved in the upper ocean in the form of heat content in the southern AS until the following winter season. Through various sensitivity experiments with an ocean model, we could demonstrate the above and identify the processes that lead to the observed memory. We further demonstrate that the simulated mixed layer depth and the upper ocean heat content are higher in the southern AS during a flood monsoon year compared to a drought year. This is attributed to a relatively stronger FJ-induced wind stress curl during the flood summer monsoon, which deepens the thermocline and results in higher heat retention in the southern AS during the subsequent winter and spring seasons. The accumulated heat enhances pre-monsoon rainfall over the west Indian coastal region and, in turn, influences the ensuing monsoon rainfall.

Ocean acidification (OA) is expected to alter marine phytoplankton communities by modifying seawater carbonate chemistry, with important implications for marine food webs and biogeochemical cycling. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that comparable pH reductions achieved through different acidification methods generate distinct carbonate chemistry conditions and consequently different biological responses. A 5‐day microcosm experiment was conducted using natural phytoplankton assemblages collected from the coastal Eastern Arabian Sea. OA was simulated by HCl addition (acid), CO 2 enrichment (CO 2 ), and acid–base manipulation. Changes in carbonate chemistry, nutrients, phytoplankton community composition, pigments, bacteria, microzooplankton, and organic carbon pools were monitored. As expected, the three manipulation methods produced significantly different carbonate chemistry conditions despite comparable pH reductions. Repeated‐measures ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc analyses confirmed significant treatment effects for pH, pCO 2 , DIC, HCO 3 − , CO 3 2− , and total alkalinity. By Day 5, CO 2 enrichment significantly increased total phytoplankton abundance and promoted microplankton dominance, driven by bloom‐like proliferation of Thalassiosira sp., whereas picoplankton declined significantly. Conversely, pennate diatoms, cyanobacteria, dinoflagellates, and coccolithophores exhibited weak or negative responses. Concurrent changes in phosphate, nitrite, autotrophic bacteria, and microzooplankton indicated that nutrient availability, microbial recycling, and grazing interacted with carbonate chemistry to regulate phytoplankton succession. Our findings demonstrate that phytoplankton responses in the oligotrophic Eastern Arabian Sea are governed by the combined effects of carbonate chemistry, nutrient dynamics, and ecological interactions rather than pH alone.

Age and sex dependent shift in murine gut microbiome reveals pathological links to host cardiovascular and metabolic pathways - Meena Kumari Palani Kumar; Krishna S. Iyer; Shailesh K. Shahi; Juan Antonio Raygoza Garay; Ashutosh Mangalam; Sanjana Dayal (GeroScience, 2026)
The gut microbiome undergoes dynamic, sex-dependent changes across the lifespan. However, comprehensive studies examining the combined effects of age and sex are limited. This study investigated both compositional and functional alterations in the gut microbiome of young (4 months, n = 14) and aged (20 months, n = 20) C57BL/6 J mice of both sexes using 16S rRNA gene (V3–V5) sequencing. Microbial community structure and predicted functional profiles were analyzed via QIIME2 and PICRUSt2, with pathway annotation based on MetaCyc. Compared to aged mice, young mice exhibited higher alpha diversity, with the highest increase observed in young females. This sex-specific difference was lost in aged mice. Aging was also associated with an increased Firmicutes-to-Bacteroidetes ratio, and distinct shifts in key taxa, including increased Lactobacillus and Roseburia and reduced Bacteroides and Lachnospiraceae. Functional prediction revealed substantial age-related metabolic shifts, especially in females showing alteration in 45 pathways including upregulation of branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) metabolism, uric acid metabolism, and lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis. To directly link alterations in microbial BCAA metabolism with host metabolic outcomes, fecal abundance of the bacterial BCAA aminotransferase gene (ilvE) was quantified and found to be significantly increased in aged mice. Concurrently, aged mice exhibited higher plasma levels of BCAA, insulin, and random glucose, indicating age-associated metabolic dysregulation. Fecal ilvE abundance associated positively with plasma BCAA levels, and negatively with blood glucose in aged mice, suggesting a link between microbial BCAA metabolism and host glucose homeostasis. Our findings demonstrate that gut microbiome composition and function are influenced by both age and sex. We also showed that these alterations in microbial BCAA metabolism are associated with host metabolic parameters during aging. Our findings underscore the importance of incorporating both age and sex as biological variables in microbiome research and may inform development of age- and sex-specific microbiome-targeted interventions.

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

Tropical cyclone landfall intensity (Vmax) for western North Pacific nations: return period and trends - Samuel S. Bell; Savin S. Chand; Philip J. Klotzbach; Marie Ekström; Valentina Koschatzsky; Sarvesh Kumar; Krishneel K. Sharma; Mona Hemmati (Natural Hazards, 2026)
Human impacts, including financial losses, are closely related to the intensity and frequency of tropical cyclone (TC) landfalls in the western North Pacific (WNP) region. Here, 44 years of observational TC wind speed (V max ) and track records (1980–2023) are used to examine TC landfall intensity trends and recurrence. Analysis is conducted over individual nations and includes modulation by El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), which has recently exhibited increasing asymmetries in spatial and temporal evolution. Two modern ENSO indices are first evaluated before one is selected to classify TC seasons into canonical phases. Landfall trends over individual nations are insignificant, but significant decreases are noted for the northern Philippines and parts of Micronesia, including for intense (> 33 m s –1 ) V max . However, the distribution of upper-tail V max values increases for 5 of 7 nations over the recent period, including the Philippines and Micronesia, confounding the impact of the much-noted poleward shift in WNP TC activity. Ex-TC landfall trends, while less robust, are also evaluated, and shown to have increased over the southwest corner of Japan. Lastly, a modified return period framework is employed to estimate the recurrence of V max at various locations based on “peak average” speeds and the shape of a reference extreme value curve. The framework provides a consistent platform for estimating long-term return magnitudes with limited data, such as V max over land. 1-in-200 year V max intensities are estimated to be the highest over the Philippines, southern Japanese islands and Micronesia, and relatively lower over Vietnam, Korea and China.

Mitigating chromium (VI) toxicity through microbial and biotechnological innovations: a critical review - P. Singhal; V. Sharma; R. Kumar; A. A. M. Alkhanjaf; A. Umar; S. Baskoutas (International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology, 2026)
Hexavalent chromium [Cr (VI)] is a prevalent and highly toxic environmental contaminant known for its persistence and severe ecological and health consequences. Its high solubility and mobility contribute to long-lasting pollution, while its carcinogenic properties pose significant risks to living organisms. Conventional physicochemical methods such as precipitation, ion exchange, and membrane filtration are employed for Cr (VI) removal but often suffer from drawbacks including high costs, incomplete elimination, and generation of secondary pollutants. In contrast, microbial and biotechnological methods offer sustainable, environmentally friendly alternatives for detoxifying Cr (VI). This review focuses on microbial remediation strategies, including biosorption, bioaccumulation, biotransformation, and bioleaching, with particular attention to the roles of bacteria and fungi. Key factors discussed include microbial resistance genes and enzymatic systems that facilitate the reduction of Cr (VI) to the less harmful Cr (III). Advances in designing microbial consortia, understanding genetic regulation, and integrating bioprocess engineering are also explored to enhance remediation efficacy. Comparing traditional and biological approaches highlights the superior sustainability and scalability of microbial systems for large-scale environmental treatment. Innovations in microbial bioremediation through biotechnological approaches present a promising path forward for mitigating chromium pollution and restoring environmental health in contaminated ecosystems.

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.

Lentil ( Lens culinaris Medik.), a nutrient-rich legume cultivated worldwide, plays a vital role in combating malnutrition and hidden hunger. Understanding the genetic architecture underlying key phenological and agronomic traits in lentil is crucial for accelerating molecular breeding. In this study, genome-wide association mapping was conducted using 142 genetically diverse lentil accessions, evaluated across two field environments over two years. High-throughput sequencing generated 34,995 high-quality single-nucleotide polymorphisms, which were used for genetic characterization and for the identification of marker-trait associations for phenological and yield-associated traits. Population structure analysis identified three subpopulations (K = 3), with UPGMA clustering showing a similar pattern. Association mapping was performed using multi-locus models and further confirmed through a single-locus generalized linear model. A total of 64 significant associations were identified, of which Chr5_342836807 and Chr6_200603138 were consistently detected across all environments for days to 50% flowering. Putative candidate genes located near these phenology-associated loci such as abscisate β-glucosyltransferase, pentatricopeptide repeat proteins, and transcription factors from the MYB , MADS-box , and GRAS families are likely involved in flowering-time regulation in lentil. These findings reveal novel associations between genetic variants and complex traits and identify putative genes that may be exploited in marker-assisted selection and genomic prediction strategies.
