Abstract Since the early 1960s, nanotechnology has been a critical area of science, allowing for the development of sophisticated nanomaterials. Nanofibers, one of the most widely used nanotechnological drug delivery systems, have emerged as a highly versatile platform within modern pharmaceutical sciences.

Abstract BACKGROUND The world population is projected to reach nearly 9.7 billion by 2050, significantly increasing the demand for novel and sustainable protein sources. Edible insects, such as Tenebrio molitor, emerge as promising alternatives due to their high nutritional value, but adult insects and frass are direct and abundant by‐products of this ...

Abstract BACKGROUND Alphitobius diaperinus, the lesser mealworm, is an edible insect considered safe for human consumption; however, its proteins show documented cross‐reactivity with crustacean and house dust mite (HDM) allergens, raising potential concerns for allergic populations.

ABSTRACT Microbial necromass carbon (MNC) is a major and stable component of soil organic carbon, yet its fraction‐specific accumulation and stabilization mechanisms remain unclear, particularly in peatlands experiencing hydrological change. We investigated MNC distribution along three independent transects spanning a natural gradient of five ...

Preparation of chitin nanofibers by surface esterification of chitin with maleic anhydride and mechanical treatment [PDF]
Esterification with maleic anhydride significantly improved the mechanical disintegration of chitin into uniform 10-nm nanofibers. Nanofibers with 0.25° of esterification were homogeneously dispersed in basic water due to the carboxylate salt on the ...

The digestion of chitin by callitrichids
Studies of wild callitrichids reveal limited data about their complex diets. As insectivorous primates it is likely that they can digest chitin. Using the common marmoset, Callithrix jacchus, as a model, this study assessed chitin digestibility and ...

ABSTRACT Afforestation is widely advocated for boosting carbon (C) sequestration. However, the stability of soil C pools in economically and culturally significant mulberry plantations remains poorly understood. The soil organic C (SOC) contents in different aggregates and the oxidizable OC fractions were measured.

ABSTRACT Heavy metal (HM) contamination of soil–plant systems poses persistent ecological and health risks, driving interest in nanoparticle‐based remediation. Although conventional chemically synthesized nanoparticles (CSNPs) are effective, their energy‐intensive production and residual toxicity limit sustainable deployment.

ABSTRACT Chitinase‐3‐like‐1 (CHI3L1, also known as YKL‐40) has been recognized as a biomarker of inflammation and tissue remodeling and has now emerged as a pseudoenzymatic immune checkpoint. Recent structural, immunological, and translational studies redefine it as an active regulator of immune suppression rather than a passive disease marker. Despite

14‐3‐3 proteins orchestrate rice immunity through protein turnover and redox signaling
Abstract 14‐3‐3 proteins are a highly conserved family of regulatory proteins that orchestrate diverse cellular processes through interactions with phosphorylated target proteins. Recent studies have identified rice 14‐3‐3 proteins as pivotal regulators of plant immunity, revealing both positive and negative roles in defense against the blast fungus ...
