Electrospun Wood‐Derived Biopolymers as Electrodes in Electrochemical Energy Storage Technologies
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Electrospinning transforms wood‐derived cellulose and lignin into architecturally defined, binder‐free carbon electrodes with tuneable porosity and functionality. This review shows how fibre design enables decoupled charge and mass transport, enhancing performance across battery systems, while identifying key challenges in spinnability, scalability ...

Beta-Glucans in Biotechnology: A Holistic Review with a Special Focus on Yeast
BioengineeringBeta-glucans (β-glucans) are polysaccharides with significant biological activity, widely recognized for their immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and metabolic health benefits. Among various sources, yeast-derived β-(1 → 3), (1 → 6)-glucans have gained

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Melanin content directly controls fungal spore mechanical properties, with pigmented spores achieving rupture forces two orders of magnitude higher than hyaline spores. Environmental stress drives this quantity‐quality tradeoff; stressed species invest energy in melanin‐reinforced, mechanically superior thick‐walled, super‐hydrophobic spores, while ...

Hemocompatible Glycogen‐Tissue Plasminogen Activator Complexes for Enhanced Blood Clot Dissolution
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Glycogen–heparin‐cRGD nanoparticles enable targeted delivery of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) to thrombi through activated platelet recognition. The hemocompatible hybrids minimize interactions with blood and immune cells while retaining enzymatic biodegradability.

Cellulose Surface Modification Effects on Equilibrium and Non‐Equilibrium Wetting by Water
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Molecular dynamics simulations of nanometer‐sized water droplets spreading on cellulose substrates show strong effects from surface chemistry on both equilibrium contact angles and spreading dynamics. ABSTRACT Chemical modification is an important route to tuning interactions between nanocellulose and its surrounding media. Specifically, it affects the
