Soybean‐Derived Exosome‐Like Nanovesicles Regulate Lipid Metabolism via Mitochondrial Biogenesis and UCP1/PGC‐1α Mediated Thermogenesis

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 4, July 2026.
Soybean‐derived exosome‐like nanovesicles suppress lipid accumulation of adipocytes via UCP1/PGC‐1α mediated thermogenesis pathway and boosting mitochondrial function. ABSTRACT Obesity has become an important public health concern in modern society. Plant‐derived exosome‐like nanovesicles are emerging as candidates for obesity intervention.

Coumarins Disrupt Cell–Cell Communication and Virulence in Priority Pathogens: Targeting the PQS Signalling System in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 7, July 2026.
The selective nature through which coumarin compounds produced by different species of plants target PQS signalling in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and select for distinct phenotypic responses in key pathogenic organisms adds to the growing evidence of their utility as natural virulence suppressors. ABSTRACT Cell‐to‐cell communication in microbial systems is

Plasticity of subfornical organ astrocyte structure and supraoptic nucleus hormone expression following extreme dehydration in the desert rodent Gerbillus tarabuli

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 38, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The central nervous system plays a pivotal role in the regulation of water and electrolyte balance, largely via the circumventricular organs (CVOs) and the hypothalamo‐neurohypophysial system. Gerbillus tarabuli, a desert‐dwelling rodent capable of surviving in arid environments, remains poorly characterized with respect to the neuroendocrine ...

The Role of Exopolysaccharides in Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) is an effective mechanism for microbial species to exchange electrons cooperatively during syntrophic metabolism. It is generally accepted that DIET is mainly mediated by electrically conductive pili and outer

Oil‐Coated Nanoplastics Induce Rapid Membrane Disruption and Severe Intestinal Injury

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 31, 4 June 2026.
Oil‐rich food contact dramatically amplifies MNP release from plastic takeout containers, producing oil‐coated nanoplastics with altered surface properties and rapid membrane‐disruptive effects. These particles cause severe intestinal barrier damage and immune dysfunction in mice, and risk modeling suggests that long‐term gastrointestinal burdens may ...

Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer Mediated by Graphene Oxide-Based Materials

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Conductive materials are known to promote direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) by electrically bridging microbial cells. Previous studies have suggested that supplementation of graphene oxide (GO) based materials, including GO, and reduced GO ...

A Comprehensive Review of the Key Factors Affecting Biogas Production From Anaerobic Digestion of Organic Waste

CleanMat, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 74-98, June 2026.
Efficient conversion of organic waste to biogas depends on the coordinated optimization of feedstock composition, pretreatment, operational parameters, reactor design, and microbial community dynamics. This review highlights how these interacting factors improve methane yield and process stability, advancing anaerobic digestion as a practical pathway ...

Virgin Coconut Oil Attenuates Diabetic Kidney Disease via Gut Microbiota‐Metabolism‐Inflammation Axis Modulation in Type 2 Diabetic Mice

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study elucidates the multi‐targeted mechanisms of Virgin Coconut Oil (CO) as a dietary intervention for ameliorating Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD). High‐purity medium‐chain fatty acids (MCFAs, primarily octanoic acid [C8:0] and decanoic acid [C10:0]) in CO significantly remodel the gut microbiota by enriching short‐chain fatty acid (SCFA ...
