Engineering Poly(Lactic Acid)/Cellulose Nanocrystal Composites: A Comparative Review of Preparation Strategies and their Influence on Structure‐Property Relationships

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
This review compares diverse strategies for preparing PLA/CNC nanocomposites and examines how each method shapes the composite structure and properties. By highlighting trade‐offs in dispersion, crystallinity, and scalability, it guides optimal technique selection for targeted applications such as packaging, biomedical scaffolds, and 3D printing, where

Role of the Setae in an Ectoparasitic Seal Louse in Reducing Surface Drag: Numerical Modeling Approach

Advanced Theory and Simulations, EarlyView.
The seal louse Echinophthirius horridus has uniquely shaped setae that may reduce drag during its host's dives. Using numerical simulations, this study demonstrates that their natural inclination promotes vortex formation, minimizing friction and energy loss. These findings provide insights into biological surface adaptations and may inspire the design

Natural Allelic Variations in IbCHYR1–IbZnFR Complex Regulate Fusarium Root Rot Resistance in Sweet Potato

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
FfRlpA2, a conserved Fusarium effector, functions as a protease inhibitor by hijacking the E3 ubiquitin ligase IbCHYR1 to degrade the resistance factor IbZnFR, thereby promoting Fusarium pathogenicity. Conversely, the high dosage Pro::IbZnFRHap2 allele was associated with resistance to root rot disease.

Bacterial chitin degradation – mechanisms and ecophysiological strategies

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013
Chitin is one the most abundant polymers in nature and interacts with both carbon and nitrogen cycles. Processes controlling chitin degradation are summarized in reviews published some 20 years ago, but the recent use of culture-independent molecular ...

An Apple Susceptibility‐Related LRR Receptor‐Like Kinase MdRLKT21 Activates Plant Immunity by Hijacking a Trans‐Kingdom Fungal microRNA‐Like RNA

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The apple susceptibility‐related LRR‐RLK MdRLKT21 competitively binds to fungal sRNA effectors and subsequently activates defenses by salvaging the expression of MdRLKT1 and MdRLKT2 and thereby releasing the resistance protein MdRFP1. These findings provide new insights into the molecular mechanism by which plants counteract pathogen‐secreted sRNA ...

Substrate-Assisted Catalysis Unifies Two Families of Chitinolytic Enzymes [PDF]

, 1997
Hen egg-white lysozyme has long been the paradigm for enzymatic glycosyl hydrolysis with retention of configuration, with a protonated carboxylic acid and a deprotonated carboxylate participating in general acid-base catalysis.
