HCMV UL38 and AKT Signaling: IRS1 Destabilization
2026-08-12
This preprint identifies the HCMV protein UL38 as a driver of serum-insensitive AKT signaling through mTORC1-dependent IRS1 destabilization. The work links viral control of a host negative-feedback circuit to AKT membrane recruitment, providing a mechanistic framework for studying HCMV-associated signaling changes while highlighting the need for careful phosphorylation-state preservation during sample preparation.

Ionic-Liquid Control of Bottlebrush Block Copolymers
2026-08-11
Rodriguez, Mahanthappa, and Lodge examine how coil-bottlebrush diblock copolymers assemble in a systematic series of alkylimidazolium ionic liquids. Their central result is that, at a coil volume fraction near 0.38, lyotropic morphology depends surprisingly weakly on ionic-liquid alkyl-chain length despite substantial changes in solvent selectivity.

L. acidophilus–UDCA Mechanisms in Ulcerative Colitis
2026-08-09
Deng et al. show that Lactobacillus acidophilus improves experimental ulcerative colitis through a microbiota-dependent metabolite pathway involving ursodeoxycholic acid, Treg differentiation, and suppression of M1 macrophage polarization. The study connects probiotic activity with RapGap/PI3K-AKT/NF-κB signaling and provides a useful framework for investigating microbial metabolites as immune-regulatory effectors.
