An Engineered Thio‐Amino Polymer Achieves Potent, Safe, and Broad Cell Type Delivery in the Lung Mapped by Spatial Transcriptomics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Synthesis and screening of a polymer library produced a versatile and inhalable mRNA vehicle for the lungs (P81). Compared to a published LNP, P81 provides increased delivery efficacy, achieving widespread expression in broad cell types, with no toxicity.

Harvest Maturity Stage and Cold Storage Length Influence on Flavour Development in Peach Fruit

Agronomy, 2018
Peach market is facing a constant decrease due to the poor fruit quality perceived at consumption that might be greatly affected by fruit ripening stage at harvest and by the post-harvest management. The present work aimed at clarifying the influence of maturity at harvest on the evolution of peach aroma and quality during shelf-life after prolonged ...

Genetic Analysis and QTL Mapping of Fruit Peduncle Length in Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.)

PLOS ONE, 2016
Mechanized harvesting of cucumbers offers significant advantages compared to manual labor as both shortages and costs of labor increase. However the efficient use of machines depends on breeding plants with longer peduncles, but the genetic and molecular basis of fruit peduncle development in cucumber is not well understood.

Linking Polyelectrolyte Modification and Enzyme‐Catalyzed Phenolic Acid Functionalization of Cellulose Fiber for Functional Foams

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Cellulose fibers functionalized using cationic poly(Dimethyldiallylammonium chloride) (polyDADMAC) and laccase‐mediated ferulic acid system are processed into foams using different surfactants (Anionic, cationic, and non‐ionic). Fiber–surfactant interactions influence foam stabilization and porous structure formation during convective drying, producing
