Utilization of a Bioinformatic Approach to Identify Emulsifying Peptides Embedded in Brewers’ Spent Grain Proteins and Characterization of Their Emulsifying Properties

Colloids and Interfaces
Brewers’ spent grain (BSG) represents the major byproduct of the brewing industry and remains largely underutilized. While BSG contains a rather high amount of protein, poor functional properties limit its use as a functional ingredient for foods without

Microporous Microgel Assemblies Facilitating the Recruitment and Osteogenic Differentiation of Progenitor Cells for Bone Regeneration

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
There is a significant need for biomaterials with well‐defined stability and bioactivity to support tissue regeneration. In this study, we developed a tunable microgel platform that enables the decoupling of stiffness from porosity, thereby promoting bone regeneration.

Interfacial Properties and Structure of Emulsions and Foams Co-Stabilized by Span Emulsifiers of Varying Carbon Chain Lengths and Egg Yolk Granules

Foods
Interfacial properties significantly influence emulsifying and foaming stability. We here explore the interfacial behavior of egg yolk granules (EYGs) combined with various Span emulsifiers (Span 20, 40, 60, 80) to assess their solution properties ...

Backbone Heterojunction Photocatalysts for Efficient Sacrificial Hydrogen Production

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Herein, a ‘single‐component’ organic semiconductor photocatalyst is presented in which a molecular donor is bonded to a polymer acceptor. The resultant material demonstrates exceptional photocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution in aqueous triethylamine with an outstanding external quantum efficiency of 38% at 420 nm.

An All‐Optical Driven Bio‐Photovoltaic Interface for Active Control of Live Cells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐photovoltaic Interface (BIO‐PV‐I) for live cell manipulation is presented. BIO‐PV‐I can be activated non‐invasively and remotely to control the spatial motility, adhesion, and morphology of cells adhering to it. BIO‐PV‐I uses a patterned light‐induced electric potential in iron‐doped lithium niobate crystals whose light‐driven and reversible nature,

From Waste to Value: Conversion of Calcium Sulfate to Vaterite via Carbon Capture and Storage

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a new concept for carbon management that relies on the carbonation of industrial gypsum waste and yields phase‐pure vaterite at ambient conditions without any additives. The obtained vaterite is further shown to be a reactive material that develops compressive strength in aqueous suspensions like conventional cements.
