Effect of temperature on behavior, glycogen content, and mortality in Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker, 1857) (Bivalvia: Mytilidae)

Journal of Limnology, 2017
Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker 1857) is a freshwater mussel with physiological tolerance to different environmental conditions, which may explain its success as an invasive species. The role of abiotic factors in its establishment, abundance and projections

Catechol‐Containing Poly(2‐isopropyl‐2‐oxazoline): Synthesis and Thermoresponsive Behavior in Aqueous Salt Solutions

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Polymers carrying catechol groups are interesting mussel‐inspired materials for wet adhesion applications or metal ion complexation for wastewater treatment. Here, catechol‐containing poly(2‐isopropyl‐2‐oxazoline)s were synthesized via microwave‐assisted cationic (co)polymerization and examined with regard to their thermoresponsive LCST behavior in ...

At the doors of the Amazonian region: occurrence of Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker, 1857) (Mollusca, Bivalvia, Mytilidae) in the Tocantins River [PDF]

Check List
The Tocantins river basin was one of the few regions in Brazil considered free of Golden Mussel, Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker, 1857). This is an invasive species that has been dispersing throughout South America since 1990.

Holdfast adhesion in the kelp Alaria marginata: Cell wall polysaccharides and phenolics

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Adhesion is a critical process in the survival of seaweeds, especially in wave‐swept environments. Kelp (Laminariales) sporophytes secrete adhesives from specialized rhizoid cells to anchor themselves to the substrate and withstand immense forces applied by waves.

Edible Insect Allergens: An Emerging Food Safety Challenge

Sustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 3, September 2026.
Allergic responses to edible insects arise via two main pathways: cross‐reactivity with homologous arthropod allergens and primary sensitization to edible insect proteins, both leading to IgE‐mediated immune activation. ABSTRACT Edible insects are increasingly promoted as sustainable protein sources; however, their allergenic potential remains a ...

Supramolecular Coordination Platforms for Smart Theranostics: Leveraging the Dynamic Molecular Networks of Metal–Polyphenol Assemblies

Aggregate, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2026.
In this review, we summarize the recent developments of metal–polyphenol networks (MPNs) as a highly versatile and functionally integrated supramolecular assembly platform. We also discuss their pivotal role in steering biomedical materials away from conventional single‐function designs and toward intelligent, unified diagnostic and therapeutic ...
