Understanding the dynamic nature of plant lipid anabolic and catabolic metabolism is key to sustainable oilseed engineering

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Plant‐derived oils are essential sources of reduced carbon and various fatty acid (FA) structures for food, biofuels, and the oleochemical industry. Despite extensive efforts, engineering mainstream oilseed crops to produce high levels of industrially valuable unusual FAs (UFAs) remains challenging.

Comprehensive Evaluation of Body Lotion in Alleviating Xerosis: A Multi‐Omics Approach to Lipid Metabolism and Microbial Community Modulation

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, Volume 25, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Xerosis, marked by a compromised skin barrier and disrupted lipid metabolism, leads to dryness, scaling, and itching. Ceramide and natural oil‐based moisturizers can improve skin hydration and barrier repair, but their effects on lipid networks and microbiome interactions have not been well understood.

Assessing labor productivity in the harvest of crops planted with Elaeis oleifera x Elaeis guineensis crossings in an oil palm plantation from Colombia☆

Oilseeds and fats, crops and lipids
In Colombia, crossings of Elaeis oleifera by Elaeis guineensis (OxG hybrids) were planted after Bud Rot outbreaks. These OxG hybrids had not been planted before, so management practices were adapted from those developed for Elaeis guineensis crops.
