Assessing the hidden risks of non‐thermal processing: Ultrasound‐induced toxicity of cashew apple juice in a zebrafish model

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 12, Page 7044-7055, September 2026.
Abstract Background High‐intensity ultrasound is widely advocated for the preservation of liquid foods; however, the potential formation or release of toxic compounds during processing remains under‐investigated. This study evaluated the toxicological profile of cashew apple juice processed by high‐intensity ultrasound (1250, 1875, and 2500 W;L⁻¹ ...

Macrophage: Biological Functions, Diseases, and Therapeutic Targets

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Macrophages are sentinel innate immune cells that arise from embryonic precursors and bone marrow monocytes, displaying a functional continuum that transcends the classical M1 (pro‐inflammatory)/M2 (anti‐inflammatory) dichotomy. Under homeostatic conditions, balanced M1/M2 polarization preserves tissue integrity by coordinating immune surveillance ...

Lymphatic Endothelial Cells in Health and Disease

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) are dynamic regulators of tissue homeostasis and disease remodeling. In the healthy state, LECs coordinate interstitial fluid drainage, intestinal lipid transport, and immune trafficking and tolerance. Across disease settings, however, these same programs become maladaptively reprogrammed, contributing to barrier ...

IL-13 is a driver of COVID-19 severity

JCI Insight, 2021
Immune dysregulation is characteristic of the more severe stages of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Understanding the mechanisms by which the immune system contributes to COVID-19 severity may open new avenues to treatment.

An engineered hyaluronan synthase: characterization for recombinant human hyaluronan synthase 2 Escherichia coli.

The Journal of biological chemistry, 2004
The Class I hyaluronan synthase (HAS) is a unique glycosyltransferase synthesizing hyaluronan (HA), a polysaccharide composed of GlcUA and GlcNAc, by using one catalytic domain that elongates two different monosaccharides. As for the synthetic mechanism, there are two alternative manners for the sugar elongation process.

A review of skin microbiome and new challenges to cosmetic microbiome‐friendly formulations

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 780-797, August 2026.
Microbiome‐friendly concepts offer new perspectives for a healthy relationship between cosmetic use and the skin microbiome, especially the interaction of non‐biotic cosmetic ingredients with the skin, requiring further studies to clarify the dynamics between the skin microbiome and different classes of cosmetic ingredients.

Impact of Oral Herbal Supplementation on Human Skin Aging: A Systematic Review of Clinical Trials

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, Volume 25, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Skin aging, characterized by wrinkles, decreased elasticity, and dryness, is both a public health and esthetic issue, affecting most adults and leading to lowered quality of life and higher healthcare costs. While topical treatments are common, systemic approaches are gaining interest for their potential to enhance skin hydration ...

Increased Hyaluronan Synthase-2 mRNA Expression and Hyaluronan Accumulation with Choroidal Thickening: Response during Recovery from Induced Myopia [PDF]

Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2010
Several studies have convincingly shown that in chicks, compensation for imposed focus involves immediate changes in choroid thickness. The molecular events associated with choroidal thickening and the regulation of the choroidal response are largely unknown.Form-deprivation myopia was induced in the right eyes of 2-day-old chicks by the application of

ACLY‐Driven Metabolic Reprogramming Promotes Histone Acetylation and Inflammation‐Associated Fibrosis in Chronic Kidney Disease

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 37, 3 July 2026.
This study reveals a citrate–ACLY–H3K27ac metabolic–epigenetic axis driving inflammatory gene activation and kidney fibrosis, highlighting ACLY inhibition as a potential therapeutic strategy for chronic kidney disease (CKD). ABSTRACT The mechanisms by which metabolic stress drives epigenetic dysregulation and fibrosis in chronic kidney disease (CKD ...
