Understanding bio‐based polymers: A study of origins, properties, biodegradation and their impact on health and the environment

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This review provides an overview of bio‐based polymer sources, their unique functional properties and their environmental impact, and addresses their role as sustainable alternatives. It discusses end‐of‐life options, including composting and anaerobic digestion for renewable energy.

Caseins: Versatility of Their Micellar Organization in Relation to the Functional and Nutritional Properties of Milk

Molecules, 2023
The milk of mammals is a complex fluid mixture of various proteins, minerals, lipids, and other micronutrients that play a critical role in providing nutrition and immunity to newborns. Casein proteins together with calcium phosphate form large colloidal

Generating Cell Surface Nucleated Hydrogels with an Artificial Membrane‐Binding Transglutaminase

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Cell‐based therapies require advanced strategies to enhance cell delivery and bioactivity. Cell membrane engineering offers an avenue to impart new functions to delivered cells to boost their viability and function. Here, an artificial membrane‐binding transglutaminase is generated and biophysically characterized.

Speed effects in gliding motility assays due to surface passivation, water isotope, and osmotic stress. [PDF]

, 2010
The molecular motor kinesin-1, an ATPase, and the substrate it walks along, microtubules, are vital components of eukaryotic cells. Kinesin converts chemical energy to linear motion as its two motor domains step along microtubules in a process similar to

Engineered Protein‐Based Ionic Conductors for Sustainable Energy Storage Applications

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Rational incorporation of charged residues into an engineered, self‐assembling protein scaffold yields solid‐state protein films with outstanding ionic conductivity. Salt‐doping further enhances conductivity, an effect amplified in the engineered variants. These properties enable the material integration into an efficient supercapacitor.

Neuroprotective Effects of Time‐Restricted Feeding Combined With Different Protein Sources in MPTP‐Induced Parkinson's Disease Mice Model and Its Modulatory Impact on Gut Microbiota Metabolism

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Time‐restricted feeding (TRF) exerts protein‐dependent neuroprotective effects in an MPTP‐induced Parkinson's disease model. In casein‐fed mice, TRF improves gut barrier integrity and reduces neuroinflammation, possibly via modulation of Allobaculum and BCAAs.

Study of the interactions between milk proteins and hydroxyapatite particles : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Food Technology at Massey University, Riddet Institute, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2016
Hydroxyapatite (HA) and other insoluble calcium salts added to calcium-fortified milks are often described as inert, as they do not cause any protein aggregation and heat instability during heat treatment of the milk.
