Re‐evaluation of sucralose (E 955) as a food additive and evaluation of a new application on extension of use of sucralose (E 955) in fine bakery wares

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The present opinion deals with the re‐evaluation of sucralose (E 955) as food additive and with the safety of a proposed extension of use in food category (FC) 7.2 ‘Fine bakery wares’. Based on the available data, no safety concerns arose for genotoxicity of sucralose (E 955) and its impurities and degradation products.

Evolutionary Divergence of an Ethylene‐Responsive Transcriptional Cascade Governs a Dose‐Dependent Balance between Cotton Fiber Length and Strength

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 5, 27 January 2026.
A tunable, ethylene‐responsive cascade governing the dose‐dependent balance between fiber length and strength is unveiled. Elevated ethylene strengthens modern tetraploid cotton (G. hirsutum) fibers but elongates those of its diploid ancestor (G. arboreum). This phenotypic switch is traced to an evolutionary functional inversion of a conserved EIN3‐ERF‐

FAM83H Regulates Postnatal T Cell Development Through Thymic Stroma Organization

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 56, Issue 1, January 2026.
Loss of the casein kinase 1 scaffolding protein FAM83H compromises bone marrow lymphopoiesis, reduces Foxn1 expression in cortical thymic epithelial cells (TEC), disrupts thymic architecture and TEC identity, and ultimately impairs double‐negative thymocyte proliferation and T‐cell production.
