Structural and Functional Stability of Natural Actomyosin From Freshwater Snail (Bellamya bengalensis): Unraveling Thermal and pH Effects

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Natural actomyosin from B. bengalensis exhibited maximum solubility (∼69.9%) at 40°C and stability near neutral pH, with minimum solubility at pH 4. Surface hydrophobicity and emulsifying activity peaked at 50°C, whereas Ca2+‐ATPase and foaming peaked at 40°C. DSC and SDS–PAGE confirmed denaturation above 40°C.

Defining the pollinator garden: is conceptual flexibility a feature or a bug?

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Ecologists often aim to reduce conceptual ambiguity by attempting to create rigid shared lexicons. These efforts imply that ambiguity is undesirable. In some contexts, however, conceptual flexibility comes with under‐discussed benefits. Here, we use the lens of pollinator gardening to explore how conceptual flexibility is built into participatory ...

Immunomodulatory Effect of Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) Scale Gelatin Peptides in RAW264.7 Macrophages and Caenorhabditis elegans

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Currently, small‐molecular‐weight collagen peptides are a research hotspot in functional factor development due to their high bioavailability and diverse bioactivities. In this study, gelatin was extracted from tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) scales by hot water extraction, followed by pepsin hydrolysis and ultrafiltration to obtain the < 3 ...

The plant microbiome: From ecological foundations to precision microbial engineering for sustainable agriculture

iMeta, EarlyView.
From ecological principles to precision engineering of plant microbiomes for sustainable agriculture. The plant holobiont integrates diverse microbial niches (including rhizosphere, endosphere, phyllosphere, seed, and aerial‐root mucilagesphere), host genetics (namely M genes), and host metabolites. Furthermore, molecular dialogues, including rhizobial

Somatosensory Disturbance and Long‐Term Exposure to Methylmercury: A Comprehensive Review

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chronic exposure to methylmercury remains a significant public health concern, particularly in populations with high fish consumption. Somatosensory disturbances are among the most frequently reported neurological manifestations, even at exposure levels below internationally established safety thresholds. This review aims to synthesize current

Chlorfenapyr Induces Hepatotoxicity Associated With Oxidative Stress and Mitochondrial Dysfunction Involving Keap1/Nrf2 Signaling

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chlorfenapyr (CHL) is a widely used pyrrole insecticide, but its hepatotoxic effects and underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. This study investigated the toxic effects of CHL on rat liver and BRL‐3A hepatocytes and explored the involvement of the Keap1/Nrf2 signaling pathway. Rats were administered CHL (10, 20, or 30 mg/kg) by
