Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Early evolutionary history of the seed

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

Exploring the Anti‐Diabetic Potential of Anthocyanins: From Biochemical Pathways to Human Trials

Chronic Diseases and Translational Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a global health challenge with increasing prevalence rates, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income countries. Anthocyanins (ACs) are potential bioactive compounds found in various fruits and vegetables, attracting the attention of researchers due to their possible role in managing diabetes and its complications ...

Solvent‐Driven Pore Engineering in Coffee‐Derived Activated Hydrochar: Implications for Post‐Combustion CO2 Capture

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
Solvent washing of coffee‐ground hydrochars produces activated carbons with tunable pore sizes while maintaining surface area. Removing non‐polar contaminants enhances microporosity, increasing CO2 uptake by 40%. Moderate pore sizes (9–12 Å) yield optimal CO2:N2 selectivity, whereas smaller pores reduce selectivity due to stronger interactions between ...

Antidiabetic Potential of Ligands from NEIST_PMIB_06, Bacterium Associated with Hawaijar (Fermented Soy Food): Insight from in Vitro and in Silico Studies

ChemFoodChem, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, a bacterium (NEIST_PMIB_06) was isolated from Hawaijar, a fermented soy food from Manipur, Northeast India. The bacterium was inoculated and incubated to isolate bioactive compounds. Liquid‐liquid extraction was performed to obtain extracts (cell‐free and cell‐based), and their efficacy was evaluated.

Comparative Analysis of Septin Modifiers, Forchlorfenuron and UR214‐9, on Mitochondrial Fragmentation and Lytic Cell Death

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Septins are conserved GTP‐binding proteins that play key roles in cell division, mitochondrial dynamics and immune responses. Despite their importance to human health, pharmacological compounds to modify septins remain limited. Forchlorfenuron (FCF) was the first small molecule identified to modify septins, disrupting their organisation and ...
