Culinary Chemistry as a Platform for Interfacial Materials Design

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Culinary processes control interfaces through heating, shear, gelation, and molecular transport. This Review connects selected gastronomic examples with food‐derived nanomaterials, plasmonic sensing, anthocyanin photovoltaics, and intelligent packaging. Original agar‐based plasmonic films illustrate the proposed translation.

Durability of Soft Pneumatic Actuators: A Review and Benchmarking Protocol

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Lack of durability is a key challenge hindering the broad scale adoption of soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs) in automation industries. This review provides a comprehensive overview of existing research on SPA durability, introduces a standardized durability benchmarking protocol to consolidate the testing of SPAs, and outlines promising directions for ...

Asymmetric Evolution of Antennal Cell Types Underlies a Derived Ammonia‐Sensing Logic for Ecological Adaptation in Bactrocera dorsalis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Comparative antennal single‐nucleus transcriptomics reveals cell‐type‐dependent transcriptomic divergence in Bactrocera dorsalis, with similar structural cells but divergent sensory neurons. This neuronal diversification is associated with a distinct ammonia‐sensing pathway, linking female attraction to bird‐dropping‐associated cues with nutritional ...

Molecular Atlas of Key Food Odorants Reveals Mixture‐Level Organization and Enables Generative Aroma Design

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
KFO‐Atlas reveals how real‐world aromas are organized as structured mixtures rather than individual molecules. Building on these principles, KFO‐Gen, a generative AI framework, designs perceptually valid aroma formulations and reconstructs meat‐like aromas exclusively from plant‐derived odorants, providing a foundation for mixture‐level studies and AI ...

The MoSR‐MoDde1 Regulatory Axis: A Novel Determinant of DMI Sensitivity and a Target for Sustainable Rice Blast Control

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The transcription factor MoSR governs DMI fungicide sensitivity in Magnaporthe oryzae through dual regulation of ergosterol biosynthesis and the detoxification enzyme MoDde1. Targeting MoDde1 via a small‐molecule inhibitor or host‐induced gene silencing enhances DMI efficacy against rice blast, offering a sustainable disease management strategy ...

Platycodon grandiflorus–Derived Nanovesicles Sensitize Gastric Cancer to T Cell Killing via Ferroptosis‐Driven Membrane Mechanical Remodeling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Plant‐derived nanovesicles from Platycodon grandiflorus act as bioactive lipid delivery platforms that transport γ‐linolenic acid into gastric cancer cells. This lipid cargo promotes ferroptotic lipid peroxidation, remodels membrane mechanics, and increases tumor‐cell susceptibility to cytotoxic T‐cell attack.

Water holding capacity and microstructure of sturgeon (Acipenser gueldenstaedti) fillets as affected by low temperature vacuum heating

International Journal of Food Properties, 2021
This study was aimed to investigate the effect of low-temperature vacuum heating (LTVH; versus the traditional thermal method– TC - 100°C boiling water) on water content/distributions, microstructure, and tenderness of sturgeon fillets.
