Laser Acupuncture on the Management of Xerostomia in Sjögren's Disease: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Oral Diseases, Volume 32, Issue 7, Page 1912-1922, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives This study evaluated the efficacy of photobiomodulation (PBM) at acupuncture points for managing xerostomia in patients with Sjögren's Disease. Material and Methods In this randomized, double‐blind clinical trial, 50 patients were assigned to PBM group (n = 22) or sham‐PBM group (n = 28).

Widely targeted metabolomics reveals the physiological and metabolic mechanisms of browning in tobacco leaves induced by starvation stress

Frontiers in Plant Science
Browning widely occurs during the processing of crops and their products, reducing both quality and economic value. However, the mechanisms underlying postharvest leaf browning under starvation-dominated conditions remain unclear. Here, compared with the

Functional Characterisation of HAIRPLUS (NtHAP) Genes Involved in Trichome Development and Specialised Metabolism of Tobacco

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, Page 4640-4655, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant glandular trichomes are specialised epidermal structures capable of synthesising, storing and secreting numerous varieties of secondary metabolites in different classes and are central to plant defence and the biosynthesis of high‐value metabolites.

Integrative metabolomics and transcriptomics profiling reveals enhanced aroma precursor biosynthesis in tobacco leaves at the mature harvest stage

Industrial Crops and Products
Tobacco is an important economic crop grown primarily for its leaves, and the quality of flue-cured tobacco is strongly influenced by harvest maturity. To accurately determine the optimal harvest maturity of flue-cured tobacco leaves, this study examined

Unburned Carbon in Coal Fly Ash: Exploring Its Potential for Electrochemical Energy Storage in Supercapacitors

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.
The graphical abstract illustrates a circular waste to value pathway in which coal fly ash is upgraded by isolating unburned carbon and converting it into functional carbon materials. Through carbonization and activation, UC‐derived carbon is transformed into high surface area electrodes for supercapacitors, supporting sustainable energy storage and ...

From Tobacco to Ultraprocessed Food: How Industry Engineering Fuels the Epidemic of Preventable Disease

The Milbank Quarterly, Volume 104, Issue 1, Page 76-115, March 2026.
Policy Points Ultraprocessed foods (UPFs) are engineered to heighten reward and accelerate delivery of reinforcing ingredients, driving compulsive consumption and disrupting appetite regulation. This is a growing challenge for health policy. UPFs share key engineering strategies adopted from the tobacco industry, such as dose optimization and hedonic ...
