Variation in seed abundance predicts yolk fatty acid composition in a wild population of birds
Bird embryos develop inside eggs, which contain maternal substances that can shape offspring phenotype and fitness. Yolk fatty acids are a key energy source for the developing embryo, with omega‐6 (ω‐6) and omega‐3 (ω‐3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) obtained exclusively from the diet.

Abstract Trophic connections between the food web base and zooplankton affect the structure of marine food webs and fluxes to higher predators. The food that zooplankton consume shifts in response to prey resources, but specific zooplankton trophic sources remain unresolved over the dynamic seasonal cycle for many species.

Uncovering the Complexity of Synucleinopathies: An Ongoing Tale Between Proteins and Lipids
Abstract Neurodegenerative diseases are pathological states characterized by progressive alterations in brain homeostasis during aging. Synucleinopathies, including Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies, are defined neuropathologically by the accumulation of inclusions known as Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites.

Retinal metabolic changes were analyzed using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H‐MRS), marking an initial application of this non‐invasive method on living eyes. Key metabolites were identified within the retinal region of adult rats. The observed changes following intense blue light exposure were predominantly attributable to the retina, as it

Prokaryotic PfaB is a terminal acyltransferase that determines the final PUFA product
Abstract Omega‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are essential for human health due to their numerous beneficial biological properties. These compounds are synthesized in marine bacteria and eukaryotic microalgae by PUFA megasynthases (Pfas), which are evolutionarily related to fatty acid synthases (FAS) and polyketide synthases (PKS). In FAS, PKS,

ABSTRACT Maintaining proper nutrition is crucial for preserving health and preventing disease. However, what constitutes proper nutrition may vary among individuals; evidence indicates that the effects of diet and even single nutrients can differ considerably because of personal characteristics.

Microalgae Techno‐Functional Properties in Bread, Cookies, and Pasta Products: A Review
ABSTRACT Microalgae are gaining increasing attention in the food industry not only for their nutritional richness but also for their promising techno‐functional properties. Research shows that isolated compounds from microalgae exhibit excellent techno‐functional properties as emulsifiers and thickeners, sometimes outperforming commercial additives ...

Insights Into Macrophage Polarization and M1/M2 Balance in Diabetic Foot Ulcers
This graphical abstract illustrates pharmaceutical agents that modulate M1/M2 macrophage polarization in diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). M1 macrophages (red) drive inflammation, whereas M2 macrophages (blue) promote tissue repair. In DFUs, persistent M1 predominance contributes to chronic non‐healing. Five key agents targeting this imbalance are depicted:
