Absorption, Stability, and Bioactivity of Fungal-Derived Hyaluronic Acid from Tremella fuciformis in a Sequential In Vitro Multi-Barrier Model

Foods
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is widely used in medical, cosmetic, and nutraceutical applications, yet the systemic fate of orally administered HA, particularly non-animal forms, remains poorly characterised.

Methodology for the identification of economic, environmental and health criteria for road noise mitigation

Noise Mapping, 2021
The aim of the paper is to define a method for evaluating infrastructural interventions for the mitigation of noise generated by roads based on multi-criteria analysis which considers a series of parameters (environmental, social, economic and health ...

Melanin's Role in Balancing Mechanical Strength and Reproductive Output in Environmentally Stressed Fungal Spores

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Melanin content directly controls fungal spore mechanical properties, with pigmented spores achieving rupture forces two orders of magnitude higher than hyaline spores. Environmental stress drives this quantity‐quality tradeoff; stressed species invest energy in melanin‐reinforced, mechanically superior thick‐walled, super‐hydrophobic spores, while ...

Photo‐Switchable Molecular Module Programming PET Biodegradation in Aquatic Environments

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We address the plastic durability paradox by integrating an itaconic acid–derived pyrrolidone module into polymer backbones. Sunlight in water triggers Norrish Type I ring‐opening and hydrophilization, enabling rapid biodegradation into nontoxic minerals.

Photo‐Degradable Polyester Networks and Multi‐Photon Printed Objects Based on Cyclic Ketene Acetals

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The current work introduces a photoreversible polyester network derived from radical ring‐opening polymerization of cyclic ketene acetals. It combines photoreversible cross‐linking with initiator‐free multi‐photon printing. Reversible network formation, tunable mechanical properties, and selective degradation highlight its potential as a versatile ...

Hepatic Cholesterol Regulation Through Multi-Botanical Extract Targeting of the PCSK9–LDLr–SREBP-2 Axis in HepG2 Cells

Biomedicines
Background/Objectives: Botanical and nutraceutical approaches have increasingly been considered as alternatives or complements to conventional lipid-lowering therapies, particularly in individuals with mild-to-moderate dyslipidemia or statin intolerance.

Leaftronics: Bio‐Fractal Scaffolds From Leaf Venation for Low‐Waste Electronics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
“Leaftronics” transforms naturally evolved leaf venation into quasi‐fractal scaffolds for sustainable electronics. Polymer‐infiltrated leaf skeletons can be used to fabricate ultra‐smooth, reflow‐ and thin‐film‐compatible decomposable substrates, while making the same lignocellulose networks conducting results in flexible transparent electrodes.

In Vitro Insights on a Gut–Testis Axis Model by a Nutraceutical Combination of Ceratonia siliqua, Ribonucleotides and Bifidobacterium longum

Nutraceuticals
Oxidative stress and environmental factors impair spermatogenesis and testicular function. The gut–testis axis has emerged as an important regulator of male reproductive health, influencing spermatogenesis beyond traditional endocrine control. This study
