Chitosan‐protected dsRNA increases efficacy against Helicoverpa armigera without compromising biosafety for pollinators

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 8, Page 7746-7757, August 2026.
Chitosan/tripolyphosphate/double‐stranded RNA (dsRNA) nanoparticles enhance RNA interference efficacy of orally delivered dsRNA against Helicoverpa armigera. Nanoparticles reduce the LC50 and do not cause deleterious effects or toxicity on beneficial insects.

COMP–PMEPA1 axis promotes epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition in breast cancer cells

Molecular Oncology, Volume 20, Issue 7, Page 1780-1799, July 2026.
This study reveals that cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) promotes epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) in breast cancer. We identify PMEPA1 (protein TMEPAI) as a novel COMP‐binding partner that mediates EMT via binding to the TSP domains of COMP, establishing the COMP–PMEPA1 axis as a key EMT driver in breast cancer.

Selective Inhibition of Integrin β3 Topology Provides a Safer Antithrombotic Strategy

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 39, 13 July 2026.
Current integrin αIIbβ3 inhibitors effectively reduce thrombosis but also increase bleeding risk. During thrombosis, high shear blood flow can directly activate the integrin αIIbβ3 via a distinct topological change in the β3 transmembrane domain, independent of hemostatic platelet signaling.

End‐of‐season corn stalk analysis as a tool to fine‐tune potassium and nitrogen management

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Corn (Zea mays L.) requires proper nutrient management for optimal growth, and tissue testing plays an important role in refining recommendations. Corn stalk nitrate test (CSNT) is used to evaluate nitrogen (N) management; however, a comparable plant‐based diagnostic tool for potassium (K) is lacking. This study evaluated extractants for stalk‐

Detecting cotton Verticillium wilt within and across multiple fields with Sentinel‐2 imagery and machine learning

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Verticillium wilt, caused by Verticillium dahliae, poses a major threat to cotton production worldwide. This study presents a framework for predicting Verticillium wilt incidence across multiple cotton fields by combining Sentinel‐2 imagery, preseason inoculum, and weather variables with machine learning models.

Life cycle assessment of biodiesel synthesis from waste cooking oil using bifunctional heterogeneous catalyst

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 20, Issue 4, Page 1882-1894, July/August 2026.
Abstract The development of renewable energy sources is important in order to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Waste cooking oil (WCO) is a promising feedstock for biodiesel production through transesterification. Heterogeneous bifunctional catalysts offer a sustainable alternative to conventional homogeneous bases such ...

Genome‐wide association study of yield‐component traits in US upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Genetic improvement of cotton (Gossypium spp.) yield is challenged by the complex and polygenic nature of yield and its underlying component traits. In this study, an elite diversity panel of 348 upland cotton accessions, genotyped using the CottonSNP63K array, was evaluated across 10 environments in the US Cotton Belt for four yield‐component
