We’re delighted to share our most recent quarterly report from Altmetric Explorer, which showcases the top 10 articles from across our journals, as ranked by Altmetric Attention Score. Taken from the past three months (January- March 2026), top trending articles include work on DNA, Alzheimer’s, neurodegeneration, and more.

Publishing with us enables authors to see first-hand the attention their work is gaining through integrated Altmetric data. Captured in the form of the Altmetric donut, Attention Scores indicate citations on Wikipedia, mainstream media coverage, mentions on social networks, discussions on research blogs, and many other online sources.

Top 10 trending articles:

•  Adaptive inter-tissue proteostasis networks in aging and neurodegeneration
•  A phase separation hypothesis for the biological function of PrP: the role of multivalent interactions at the plasma membrane
• DNA translocation by the CMG helicase: the helical inchworm model
• An Open-Source Code to Analyze Mitochondrial Intracellular Distribution from Fluorescence Microscopy Images
• Dysbiosis and the gut–brain axis impairment in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias: is ‘pathobiome’ an etiological element?
• Ubiquitin signatures on aggregating proteins in neurodegeneration
• Cis or trans: a puzzle of Parkin activation mechanism
• Molecular foundations of collagen triple helical assembly: the central role of prolyl-4-hydroxylation
• Biosensors illuminate metabolism in vivo
• Structural and mechanistic basis of mTORC2 activation of protein kinase AKT/PKB
