Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is a multifactorial reproductive disorder that affects approximately 1–5% of couples of reproductive age and is associated with considerable emotional and clinical burden. Although several genetic, anatomical, endocrine, infectious, and thrombophilic factors have been implicated, the underlying cause remains unexplained in nearly half of all cases, highlighting the importance of immune dysregulation in disease pathogenesis. Among immune factors, immunoglobulins play pivotal roles in maintaining maternal–fetal immune homeostasis by regulating immune tolerance, complement activation, autoantibody production, and inflammatory signalling. However, dysregulated humoral immune responses may disrupt placental development and fetal tolerance, thereby contributing to pregnancy failure. This review summarises current evidence regarding the biological functions of immunoglobulins in normal pregnancy and their involvement in the pathogenesis of RPL. We discuss the clinical significance of immunoglobulin-associated biomarkers, including antiphospholipid, antinuclear, anti-thyroid, and other pregnancy-related autoantibodies, and evaluate their utility in risk stratification and diagnosis. Emerging immunoglobulin-based therapeutic strategies, particularly intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), are reviewed in the context of current clinical evidence and guideline recommendations. Finally, we highlight the potential of comprehensive immunoglobulin profiling, integrated with clinical and molecular biomarkers, to support precision medicine approaches for individualised diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic decision-making in women with RPL. Continued mechanistic and translational research will be essential to validate these biomarkers and optimise personalised immunomodulatory interventions for improving pregnancy outcomes.

(Irrigation and Drainage, 2026)
A recent UN report describes many regions as facing ‘water bankruptcy, ’ a condition in which available water resources can no longer meet existing demands. In practice, this means irrigation will likely bear the greatest burden of future water‐use reductions, a complicated and fraught decision to make given its critical role in food security. This review paper highlights the growing range of information now available through remote sensing technologies to support planners, irrigation managers and farmers. These data include cropping patterns, crop yields, water consumption, farmgate water and tubewell water deliveries, soil moisture and root‐zone water storage, among others. The paper also reviews current applications of remote sensing, which remain too often constrained to the scientific community, and recommends the development and dissemination of standardized irrigation analytics and diagnostic tools. Government irrigation and water agencies are encouraged to integrate these emerging spatial data sources into both strategic planning and real‐time management from field to scheme scale and provide a stronger foundation of key performance indicator (KPI). Bridging this information gap will require startups and technology providers to translate advanced data products into practical, user‐friendly tools tailored to the needs of the irrigation sector.

Key message Crop wild relatives provide essential genetic diversity for improving crop resilience; however, pre- and post-zygotic barriers often restrict interspecific hybridization. Recent approaches enable their effective use in crop improvement programs. Abstract Crop wild relatives (CWR), closely related wild taxa of cultivated crops, offer a wealth of genetic diversity essential for developing traits to help crops adapt to the challenges of biotic and abiotic stresses. This diversity is critical to meet the increasing global demand for food, especially under the looming threat of climate change. However, crossing between individuals from different species often results in maladapted or inviable offspring due to pre- and post-zygotic barriers. Pre-zygotic barriers prevent successful pollen–stigma interactions and pollen tube growth, while post-zygotic barriers include hybrid embryo or endosperm failure and chromosome pairing issues, contributing to cross incompatibility (CI). These barriers restrict genome exchange and hinder the diversification of the primary gene pool in plants. Overcoming these barriers is a significant challenge. This review explores the diverse pre- and post-zygotic barriers in interspecific hybridization, emphasizing genetic factors related to CI. Additionally, this review highlights biotechnological approaches such as somatic hybridization and embryo rescue techniques, which are used to overcome these barriers. Through continued research and innovation, these barriers can be overcome, unlocking the full potential of CWR to address the evolving demands of global agriculture. Recent advances in synthetic biology now offer the possibility to reprogram reproductive barriers, turning CI into a controllable trait for hybrid development.

Acetylcholine (ACh), a potential neurotransmitter, shows growth and stress responses in plants. Despite, the underlying mechanisms of how ACh mitigates salt toxicity in pepper plants remains to be fully elucidated. Here, pepper plants pre-treated with different concentrations of ACh (0, 50 and 100 µM) were subjected to salinity stress (150 mM NaCl) to investigate their morpho-physiological, biochemical, and molecular alterations. Salinity stress significantly arrested plant phenotypes, reduced leaf relative water content (LRWC), and altered essential nutrient elements and phytohormones. However, it led to tremendous acceleration of proline, sucrose, hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), malondialdehyde (MDA), electrolyte leakage (EL), and enzymatic antioxidants such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), and glutathione reductase (GR) as compared to the non-stress control plant. ACh greatly improved the plant’s phenotypes in non-stress control plants and significantly repaired the phenotype of salinity-affected plants. ACh improved LRWC and plant nutrient status by restricting Na + and Cl − . However, it stimulated synthesis of phytohormones (except ABA), and bolstered the functions of SOD, CAT, POD, and GR under salinity stress. While salinity stress upregulated CaHKT1;1 and CaHKT1;2 , ACh treatment downregulated them. Compared to control, salinity and ACh exposure stimulated the expression of genes governing Photosystem II (PSII) and antioxidant activity, highlighting a coordinated genetic defence mechanism of plant while mitigating salinity stress. However, significant induction of CaPsbD by ACh under salinity stress suggests the protective role of this phytochemical in PS II recovery. Furthermore, multivariate analysis demonstrated that application of ACh (100 µM) improved most of the physiological and biochemical markers, effectively restoring plant growth despite salinity stress. The findings imply a crucial role for ACh in growth and mitigation of salt toxicity in the pepper plant.

Main conclusion Brown algal extracts increase crop yield by stimulating growth and enhancing resistance to environmental stress, making them a sustainable and effective biostimulant for modern agriculture. Abstract Population growth, climate change, and intensive agrochemical use pose significant challenges to environmental sustainability and food security. Seaweeds, particularly brown algae, have attracted considerable attention as promising biostimulants for sustainable agricultural applications. Brown algae, the second most prevalent group of marine macroalgae, are rich in polysaccharides (alginates, fucoidans, and laminarins), vitamins, minerals, and polyphenols, which contribute to their biostimulant properties. Previous studies have provided important insights into the mechanisms of action of seaweed extracts and the physiological and biochemical changes they induce in crop plants. Although the molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of seaweed biostimulants remain incompletely understood, recent research efforts have substantially advanced our understanding of their functional roles. This review discusses conventional and advanced extraction techniques used to obtain bioactive compounds from seaweeds. In addition, it examines the composition of brown algae and their roles in promoting plant growth, development, and stress tolerance in various crop species. Furthermore, this review highlights the molecular mechanisms underlying growth promotion, biotic stress resistance, and abiotic stress tolerance in brown algae-treated plants, along with key findings from recent metabolomics studies. The use of brown algal extracts or their components influences crop plants by enhancing nutrient uptake, regulating phytohormone signalling, boosting antioxidant defence, facilitating osmotic adjustment, and stimulating stress-responsive genes and pathways. Collectively, these properties highlight the potential of brown algae-derived biostimulants to support sustainable agriculture by reducing the need for synthetic agrochemicals while increasing food security amid growing environmental challenges.

Water scarcity is a critical challenge in West Texas, where agriculture and the oil and gas industry compete for limited water resources. The oil and gas industry generates approximately 32% of the nation’s produced water, presenting significant opportunities for beneficial reuse. This study evaluated polished desalinated produced water (PDPW) as a supplemental irrigation source for field-grown alfalfa in a semi-arid region, with conventional groundwater serving as the reference irrigation source. Soil chemistry, heavy metal accumulation, plant physiology, forage quality, and microbial community dynamics were assessed under both irrigation treatments at two growth stages. Polished desalinated produced water met most irrigation water quality standards, although strontium concentrations exceeded recommended thresholds, highlighting the need for continued monitoring. Exceedances in soil macronutrients and organic compounds were primarily attributed to historical soil conditions rather than PDPW application. Interpretation of sodium accumulation was limited because PDPW was blended with groundwater during part of the study period. No significant differences ( p > 0.05) were observed in plant growth or biomass between PDPW and control treatments. Forage quality was comparable and, in some cases, improved under PDPW irrigation through lower fiber concentrations. Microbial community profiling using 16 S and ITS rRNA sequencing revealed stable alpha and beta diversity, with variation driven primarily by sample type and growth stage rather than irrigation source. Dominant bacterial and fungal taxa remained consistent across treatments. These findings suggest that, with appropriate treatment and monitoring, PDPW has the potential to serve as an alternative irrigation source for alfalfa production in semi-arid regions. However, long-term studies are needed to evaluate sustainability and potential cumulative impacts on soil, plants, and microbial communities.

Projections of tropical cyclones and their formation regions in CMIP6 climate models - Krishneel K. Sharma; Kevin Tory; Savin S. Chand; Suzana J. Camargo; Hamish Ramsay; Soubhik Biswas; Sarvesh Kumar (Climate Dynamics, 2026)
This study evaluates changes in tropical cyclone (TC) characteristics under different future emissions scenarios in a large set of climate models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6). The Okubo–Weiss–Zeta parameter (OWZP) TC detection method is used to identify large-scale conditions conducive to TC formation. By comparing TC detections from CMIP6 historical simulations (1984–2014) with projections for the end of the twenty-first century (2070–2100) under three shared socioeconomic pathways (SSP1-2.6, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5), we assessed the changes in TC frequency and associated formation regions. TC formation regions during the mid-summer cyclone season of each TC basin were also analysed across the three pathways. Among the 19 CMIP6 models assessed, 12 models are found to simulate TC frequency ( i.e. , the mean annual totals within ± 50% of actual observations) and geographical distribution reasonably well. The remaining seven models captured only 19–27% of the observed TC numbers. For all the emission scenarios, most of the models with reliable TC climatology show a decline in global TC frequency. For SSP5-8.5 scenario, all 12 models project a global decrease with reductions ranging from 6 to 19%. In the SSP3-7.0 scenario, eight of the 14 models show global declines ranging from 1% to 42%, while nine out of 12 models under SSP1-2.6 scenario project global reductions from 2% to 12%. Notable variability in the magnitude and direction of changes is observed among models and basins, especially in the Northern Hemisphere. Analysis of TC formation regions indicates slight poleward expansion in the northwestern Pacific and a longitudinal expansion of the eastern North Pacific basin toward the central Pacific. There is also potential for latitudinal narrowing of TC formation regions in the South Indian and southwest Pacific basins across all scenarios. These results are consistent with those from earlier-generation climate models, improving the robustness of projections for a global reduction in TC frequency.

Trehalose’s untapped mechanisms in alzheimer’s: gut–brain–autophagy signalling beyond the usual targets - Sathish Kumar Gunasekaran; Harshith Kariappa C. K.; Mirunalini Gobinath; Parikshit Roychowdhury; Manjula S. N. (DARU Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2026)
Background Trehalose is a promising therapeutic candidate for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) that is known to induce autophagy and facilitate misfolded proteins clearance such as amyloid-β and hyperphosphorylated tau. Despite there is emerging evidence that trehalose has a wider range of molecular mechanisms and thus has a greater neuroprotective profile. Objective To summarize the emerging molecular mechanisms underlying the neuroprotective effects of trehalose beyond classical autophagy and discuss its therapeutic potential in AD. Methods Published evidence from preclinical studies including in-vitro and in-vivo models, along with hypothetical and emerging findings from early clinical investigations was reviewed to evaluate the molecular mechanisms, therapeutic effects, and translational challenges associated with trehalose in AD. Results In addition to classical autophagy signalling, recent studies have demonstrated that autophagy can also regulate the stability of neuronal membrane microdomains, prevent lipid bilayers disruption by amyloid proteins, and regulate stress granules dynamics that affect the function of RNA-binding proteins. Other discoveries indicate that interactions with nutrient-sensing pathways and glucose transporter systems that simulate metabolic stress, which may activate protective mechanisms separate from the inhibition of mTOR. Trehalose could also involve in lysosomal-autophagosome fusion and modulate the microglia and astrocytes activation, suggesting an important immunometabolic function. Trehalose often connects to the gut-brain axis and show their effect in gut microbiota composition, microbial metabolite signalling and gut barrier function. These effects can influence systemic inflammation, availability of short-chain fatty acids, bile acid profiles and vagus-mediated gut-to-brain communication, all of which can influence neuroinflammation networks in AD. Conclusion Although promising results have been reported, primarily from preclinical studies, with early human investigations now beginning to emerge, opportunities remain to address, such as poor oral bioavailability, penetration into the brain and long-term safety in elderly patients. Mechanistic dissection in multi-omics approaches, microbiome-stratified models and early-phase clinical testing are the areas that need to be targeted in future research. A broader understanding of the mechanisms of action of trehalose provides a good chance to reimagine its therapeutic implications and develop novel approaches to AD.

Immunoglobulin-mediated immune dysregulation in recurrent pregnancy loss: mechanisms, biomarkers, and therapeutic perspectives - Kamala C; Pallavi Shekar; Umme Kulsum; Ananya Hegde; Lakshitha V Jayakrishna; Deepa Bhat; Meghana Hangala Shivakumaraswamy; Akila Prashant; Praveen Kumar K S (Immunologic Research, 2026)
Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is a multifactorial reproductive disease that is typified by repeated pregnancy loss with immune dysregulation emerging as a critical contributing factor. Immunoglobulins are among the immune components that are instrumental in preserving tolerance between the mother and the fetus, regulating inflammatory responses, and supporting placental development. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the role of immunoglobulins in recurrent pregnancy loss, with particular emphasis on immune dysregulation, emerging biomarkers, and therapeutic implications. The immunoglobulin profiles, such as the changes in IgG subclasses and the presence of pathogenic autoantibodies, e.g. antiphospholipid and antinuclear antibodies, are highly correlated with unfavourable pregnancy outcomes. These changes, in a mechanistic manner, lead to poor trophoblast invasion, endothelial dysfunction, thrombosis and cytokine imbalance. Emerging evidence also highlights the contribution of regulatory B cells and the antibody-mediated immune network in maintaining pregnancy homeostasis. Immunoglobulin profiling has clinical potential as a diagnostic and prognostic methodology that can be used to stratify patients and provide customised therapy. Immunomodulatory therapies, especially intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), are potentially effective in a limited range of patient populations, but clinical response is variable. On the whole, this review demonstrates the role of immunoglobulin-mediated mechanisms in RPL and their future potential in enhancing precision medicine approaches to better diagnosis and management.

A Multi‐Model Ensemble Reveals a Diverging Hydrological Cycle in the Upper and Lower Transboundary Brahmaputra River Basin - Priyam Deka; Manabendra Saharia; Sharad Jain; Ved Prakash; Sujay Kumar; Augusto Getirana; Suneet Bansal; Kondapalli Niranjan Kumar; V. S. Prasad; Mrutyunjay Mohapatra (International Journal of Climatology, 2026)
The transboundary Brahmaputra basin is a significant component of the Asian Water Tower, housing approximately 66 million people in four countries and experiencing intense floods. However, this data‐scarce river has been subject to very few studies related to the long‐term assessment of its water budget. In this study, a multi‐model ensemble Indian Land Data Assimilation System (ILDAS) is set up to study the trends and variability in the water budget components from 1981 to 2020. The results indicate no significant long‐term trend in the annual basin‐averaged precipitation, evapotranspiration (ET), and runoff; however, spatial divergence in the hydrological cycle within the basin is observed, with the upper/Himalayan part showing an accelerating hydrologic cycle, contrasted by a decelerating hydrological cycle in the lower/plain part, which gets 70% of the basin rainfall. Our findings show that the winter precipitation in the basin has decreased by 5 mm per decade. The decreasing winter precipitation is confined to the lower part of the basin, which translates into a decrease in winter ET and runoff, whereas the upper part of the basin experienced an increase in precipitation in the pre‐monsoon and monsoon periods, resulting in increasing ET and runoff. It is observed that increasing runoff enhances streamflow in the upper basin; however, this signal is nullified by declining runoff towards the downstream region, leading to no significant trend in streamflow in the lower part of the basin. Further, it is observed that the TWSA variability in the basin is significantly dependent on groundwater storage variability and the amount of water stored in rivers and floodplains. These insights enhance our understanding of the complex variability of the hydrology of the Brahmaputra River basin.

Performance Evaluation of Eco-Friendly Self-Compacting Concrete Using Bio-Materials and Recycled Asphalt Pavement Aggregate - Ujwal M S; Shiva Kumar G; Poornachandra Pandit; Mahanth S H (Circular Economy and Sustainability, 2026)
This study explores the sustainable use of Egg Shell Powder (ESP) and Fish Scale Powder (FSP) as partial cement replacements, along with Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) as a coarse aggregate substitute in self-compacting concrete (SCC). Nine mix combinations were tested to evaluate fresh and hardened properties, durability, microstructure, and environmental performance. The inclusion of 16% ESP improved workability with slump flow up to 690 mm and reduced T50 time to 4.18 s, indicating lower viscosity. The mix with 2% FSP demonstrated high split tensile strength (4.29 MPa) and consistent performance with increasing RAP levels. The control mix reached the highest compressive strength (35.38 MPa), followed closely by R0 + E16 (35.30 MPa) and R0 + F2 (30.71 MPa). Although higher RAP content slightly reduced compressive strength, flexural strength improved, with R60 + E16 reaching 6.74 MPa. Durability tests showed moderate chloride permeability in RAP mixes, but FSP blends exhibited better resistance than ESP. Life Cycle Assessment revealed that R0 + E16 reduced CO₂ emissions by 20.3% and energy consumption by 17.5%, outperforming other mixes. SEM-EDS confirmed the pozzolanic potential of both ESP and FSP. Overall, ESP and FSP are promising bio-waste materials for sustainable concrete, with ESP offering superior workability and environmental benefits, while FSP contributes to improved tensile performance and durability.
