Structure‐Guided Modulation of the Optical and Mechanical Properties of Ultrathin Poly(γ‐benzyl‐L‐glutamate)‐Based Membranes

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 7, July 2026.
Poly(γ‐benzyl‐L‐glutamate) nanofibrous membranes with thicknesses of 1.6–6.1 µm were fabricated by electrospinning. Structural parameters, including the fiber orientation, pore size, and porosity, were analyzed. Increasing thickness led to denser packing, reduced porosity, and smaller pores.

The combination of bromelain and curcumin as an immune-boosting nutraceutical in the prevention of severe COVID-19

Metabolism Open, 2020
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is still ongoing, while no treatment has been proven effective. COVID-19 pathophysiology involves the activation of three main pathways: the inflammatory, the coagulation and the bradykinin cascades. Here,

Osteoarthritis: Epidemiology, Diagnosis, and Treatment

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2026.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a multifactorial degenerative joint disease and a leading cause of disability worldwide. This graphical abstract summarizes the epidemiology, diagnostic strategies, and therapeutic approaches of OA. OA development is driven by aging, metabolic dysregulation, and mechanical stress, leading to progressive joint degeneration ...

Harnessing the PpHog1 Regulatory Network to Engineer a UPR‐Adaptive Komagataella phaffii Chassis for High‐Copy Secretory Protein Production

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 7, July 2026.
Increasing gene copy number is a common strategy to boost heterologous expression, but an excessively high copy number of genes encoding secretory proteins can cause ER stress, leading to growth defects and ERAD activation. To solve this, we screened for key UPR signalling components in K. phaffii and used them to engineer a UPR‐Ad+ strain.

Cosmetic Enzymes as Formulation‐Integrated Actives: Mechanisms, Delivery, and Functional Evidence

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, Volume 25, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Enzymes are increasingly incorporated into cosmetic formulations as engineered bioactive components whose performance depends on stabilization, delivery, and controlled activity within complex formulation systems, rather than functioning as standalone ingredients. Aims This review examines the mechanisms of action of enzymes used in

Evaluation of Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd) Protein Isolate and Hydrolysate as Alternative Nitrogen Source for Growth of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum WCFS1

Sustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2026.
Quinoa protein hydrolysate (QpH) serves as both a nitrogen source and a functional ingredient for L. plantarum. Bacteria grown in QpH achieved high biomass production and demonstrated significantly enhanced cell membrane integrity, positioning QpH as a key component for robust, plant‐based probiotics.

Fermentation and Enzymatic Pre‐Treatments to Modulate Sensory Properties of Extruded Plant‐Based Meat Alternatives

Sustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2026.
Fermentation, enzymatic hydrolysis, and enzymatic crosslinking are emerging pre‐treatments to improve the sensory properties of extruded plant‐based meat alternatives. This review critically examines current literature to identify underlying mechanisms, benefits, and key research gaps associated with these pre‐treatments.

Bromelain prevents Alzheimer's disease progression by suppressing oxidative stress and upregulating apolipoprotein A1 in 5x familial Alzheimer's disease transgenic mice

Journal of Agriculture and Food Research
Alzheimer's disease (AD), a devastating neurodegenerative disorder, is the most prevalent form of dementia. The pathological hallmark of AD is the accumulation of β-amyloid (Aβ) in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex, leading to oxidative stress ...
