Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.

454-Pyrosequencing: A Molecular Battiscope for Freshwater Viral Ecology

, 2010
Viruses, the most abundant biological entities on the planet, are capable of infecting organisms from all three branches of life, although the majority infect bacteria where the greatest degree of cellular diversity lies.

Optimization of CEST MRI Reporter Protein Design Using Cation‐Pi Networks

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A novel engineering approach can produce reporter proteins for cell and viral therapy tracking with unique magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signatures, detectable with chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST). We discover how cation‐π interactions between amino acid groups can help us fine‐tune magnetic resonance properties for noninvasive ...

Smaller Fleas: Viruses of Microorganisms

Scientifica, 2012
Life forms can be roughly differentiated into those that are microscopic versus those that are not as well as those that are multicellular and those that, instead, are unicellular.

Role And Relevance Of Mast Cells In Fungal Infections

Frontiers in Immunology, 2012
In addition to their detrimental role in allergic diseases, mast cells (MCs) are well known to be important cells of the innate immune system. In the last decade, they have been shown to contribute significantly to optimal host defense against numerous ...

Lithium Diisopropylamide‐Mediated Ring‐Opening of Tetrahydrofuran in the Synthesis of Polyhydroxylated Indolizidines

European Journal of Organic Chemistry, EarlyView.
Chiral tri‐ and pentahydroxy spirocyclopentane‐indolizidines were synthesized using lithium diisopropylamide “LDA” promoted diallylation and tetrahydrofuran “THF” ring‐opening in a one‐pot procedure as a key step. The sequence leading to the targeted hydroxy‐spiroindolizidines was achieved by cis‐dihydroxylation followed by reduction of the enamine and

Pulsed Light Technology in Food Safety and Preservation: Principles, Applications, and Future Directions

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Pulsed light technology uses short high‐intensity broad‐spectrum flashes (200–1100 nm) to inactivate microbes via DNA damage. It preserves food quality, extends shelf life, and works on liquids, meats, and produce, often combined with other hurdles for enhanced efficacy.

Influence of Nanomaterials and Nanocomposites on the Nutrient Composition

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Nanomaterials and nanocomposites enhance crop nutrition and food quality by improving nutrient availability, plant uptake, and bioavailability through controlled delivery and nano‐encapsulation. Their applications in agriculture and food systems enable sustainable biofortification, improved preservation, and functional foods, while emphasizing safety ...

Beyond Gut Modulation: A Critical Review of the Therapeutic Potential, Safety, and Clinical Prospects of Natural Polysaccharides for IBD

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
In this review, we critically summarized the application of natural polysaccharides (NPs) for the treatment of IBD. This approach combines, in a unique way (right), the basic structure–activity relationships of NPs from different origins (left) with their multipronged mode of action, which involves modulation of the gut microbiota and other ...
