This interdisciplinary article explores the potential of biodegradable and biobased polymers (BBPs) to address plastic pollution and microplastic generation. It examines feedstock selection, chemical modification, use, and end‐of‐life scenarios, including biodegradation and environmental impact of BBPs.

Small but crucial difference: Type‐III copper enzymes, like tyrosinase (TYR) and o‐aminophenol oxidase (AO), catalyze the oxidation of o‐aminophenols (AP) to quinone imines. Unlike TYR, AO can further oxidize AP to nitrosophenols. This nitroso‐forming activity is controlled by a key amino acid near the Cu(A) ion.

Chitosan‐Silanized Hexagonal Boron Nitride Nanocomposite Films and Properties
ABSTRACT In this study, chitosan‐silanized hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) nanocomposite films were developed using the solution casting method. Unlike chitosan‐hBN studies, silanization of hBN with Vinyl trimethoxy silane (VTS) formed hydrogen bonds. In the swelling ratio, an improvement of 18.6% was observed with the addition of hBN compared to pure ...

ABSTRACT In recent years, natural‐fiber‐reinforced polymers have gained significant attention due to their sustainability and enhanced properties. This study used Canadian maple wood fiber as reinforcement in a polypropylene (PP). Fiber length and fiber content are known as key factors affecting the properties of the composites.

Variation in parrot jaw musculature
Interspecific morphological differences in some superficial jaw muscles of parrots. Abstract Psittaciformes, the order encompassing parrots and their relatives, are highly diverse and generally known for having a strong beaks used for multiple behaviors. The muscles related to the masticatory apparatus should reflect this functional complexity; however,

Noncoding RNAs in Host–Microbiota Interaction
The intricate interplay between gut microbiota and the host exerts a profound impact on host biological processes and disease development. This review highlights the pivotal role of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) in this interaction. Host ncRNAs regulate gene expression and microbiota composition, whereas microbial small RNAs (sRNAs) modulate host gene ...
