Investigation of Potential Risks in Bio‐Based Food Contact Materials (FCMs) From Microbial Exploitation of Agricultural Wastes: Case Studies of Bacterial Cellulose and Nisin

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT In the context of the circular economy and the increasing demand for safe and sustainable packaging, this work addresses the safety assessment of food contact materials (FCMs) derived from agro‐industrial by‐products. Despite growing interest in these bio‐based materials, the literature still lacks a structured safety‐assessment framework able

Beyond bacterial defences: the role of lysozyme in cancer

Clinical and Translational Medicine, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Lysozyme (LYZ) is a multi‐functional secreted factor that encompasses both antibacterial and immunomodulatory functions. Emerging evidence highlights its complex role in tumour progression by directly influencing tumour cells and modulating the immune microenvironment.

Tumor‐Associated Macrophages as Therapeutic Targets: Deciphering Interaction Networks and Advancing Clinical Translation

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
Tumor‐associated macrophages are the most abundant immune cells in the tumor microenvironment, driving malignant progression and treatment resistance. This review summarizes the protumor mechanisms of TAMs (including phagocytosis modulation, metabolic reprogramming, exosomal communication, and immune interactions), evaluates three major strategies ...

The In Vitro Transgenic Rodent Assay in Primary MutaMouse Hepatocytes Compared to the Mammalian Cell Gene Mutation Assay Using the HPRT Gene

Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, Volume 67, Issue 1-2, January‐February 2026.
ABSTRACT Gene mutations can be detected in mammalian cells in vitro using indicator genes such as the hypoxanthine‐guanine‐phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) gene. These assays have been adopted as OECD test guidelines (TG, e.g., OECD TG no. 476) and are used for regulatory purposes.

Targeting the hypoxia‐inducible factor‐1 alpha‐exoVEGF axis in tumor‐associated macrophages overcomes Bacillus Calmette‐Guérin immunotherapy resistance

Interdisciplinary Medicine, Volume 4, Issue 1, January 2026.
Macrophages stimulated by BCG significantly enhanced endothelial cell proliferation, migration, and tube formation. Mechanistically, this pro‐angiogenic activity was reliant on activating NF‐αB or other signaling pathways, which induced the upregulation of HIF‐1α and VEGFA.

Avenanthramide C From Oats Possibly Exerts Anti‐Inflammatory Effects in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with inflammation and cardiovascular complications and is partly exacerbated by the uremic toxin indoxyl sulfate (IS). IS is known to activate the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) to promote vascular inflammation.

Medicinal Plants and Lead Phytomolecules as Immunomodulators: An Updated Review

BioMed Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
All therapeutic interventions aimed at modulating the immune response to pathogens, self‐antigens, carcinogens, or xenogeneic antigens are referred to as immunomodulation, which either prevents hyperactivation or restores the appropriate response of the immune system.
