Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) threaten human, animal, and ecosystem health and safety through production of toxic secondary metabolites. Microcystis, a cosmopolitan bloom‐forming cyanobacterial genus, is well‐known for producing hepatotoxic microcystins (MCs), but it can produce many other bioactive cyanopeptides, such as ...

Degradomics for large‐scale mechanistic insights on proteases and proteolysis in human health
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Proteolysis has an important role in human disease but remains relatively unexplored. Degradomics, the uncovering of proteolysis in tissues, cells, and proteins, uses mass spectrometry‐based terminomics to identify protein termini occurring therein (forward degradomics) and to define the actions of proteases (reverse degradomics).

Plant Peptides on the Rise: From Historical Insight to Future Applications
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Plant peptides constitute a rapidly expanding class of signalling molecules essential to plant physiology, mediating key processes such as development, stress adaptation, and immune responses. This review traces the history of plant peptide research, from the seminal discovery of systemin to the recent identification of non‐canonical peptides (

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.ABSTRACT Wine yeasts play a central role in alcoholic fermentation and significantly contribute to the sensory attributes of wines through cellular autolysis during lees aging (sur lie), especially in white wines. This process releases organic compounds that alter the wine's chemical and sensory profile.
