Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 122, Issue 4, August 2026.Optimized extracts from Ficus carica pruning waste exhibit strong biological activity against major stink bug pests. Complementary in silico analyses suggest this efficacy relies on pest‐specific acetylcholinesterase inhibition, predicting a promising, pollinator‐safe alternative for sustainable agriculture.

Chemistry–Methods, Volume 6, Issue 8, August 2026.Lysozyme templates bioinspired silicification via localized electrostatic pooling, at variance with disordered peptides, require counterion‐driven coacervation. Small‐angle X‐ray scattering and NMR spectroscopy reveal that the folded lysozyme template remains structurally inert and monomeric in the presence of silicic acid mimics and alcohol byproducts.

Enrichment of Gluten‐Free Fresh Pasta With Cricket Flour: Technological and Nutritional Quality
Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.Gluten‐free fresh pasta was formulated with increasing levels of Acheta domesticus flour (0%–10%). Nutritional composition, cooking performance, color, texture, and in vitro digestibility were evaluated. Consumer perception revealed acceptable sensory quality up to 5.8% inclusion, highlighting cricket flour as a promising ingredient for protein ...

Plant Direct, Volume 10, Issue 8, August 2026.ABSTRACT Dhurrin, a cyanogenic glucoside, plays an important role in Sorghum bicolor physiology and defense. The concentration of dhurrin in sorghum is influenced by both nitrogen status and stage of plant organ development. While nitrogen resupply activates the expression of genes for dhurrin biosynthesis, the molecular mechanisms underlying this ...

3D Liver Fibrosis Models in Lab: A Novel Modality for Drug Screening
Pharmacology Research &Perspectives, Volume 14, Issue 4, August 2026.ABSTRACT Liver fibrosis is the common consequence of liver injury caused by a variety of chronic liver disorders. This condition leads to the development of more severe complications, particularly cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Despite abundant studies, the fundamental cell and molecular mechanisms of liver fibrosis are still unknown.
