Sex‐Specific Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue Transcriptome in Obesity: Insights From Monozygotic Twin Pairs Discordant for BMI

Obesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective We investigated the impact of sex on the subcutaneous adipose tissue (AT) transcriptome and its obesity‐related adaptations. Methods We studied rare BMI‐discordant monozygotic twin pairs (ΔBMI > 2.5 kg/m2; 21 female, 16 male pairs) to assess how sex affects AT and whole‐body metabolism.

Prospective of indigenous African wild food plants in alleviation of the severe iron deficiency anaemia in Sub‐Saharan Africa

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Iron deficiency anaemia remains a major public health challenge in Sub‐Saharan Africa, where population growth, displacement and limited resources heighten nutritional insecurity. We compiled a list of indigenous African underutilized wild food plants and examined their potential for addressing micronutrient deficiencies.

Effects of bioinsecticide exposure route on aphids and their natural enemies in oilseed rape

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Fatty acids, silicone polymers and surfactants reduced aphid numbers but caused natural enemy mortality under direct exposure, while minimal residual activity suggests potential for targeted, compatible use in integrated pest management. Abstract BACKGROUND Myzus persicae Sulzer and Brevicoryne brassicae L.

Enhanced Active Packaging Properties Through the Incorporation of Pomegranate Seed Oil Micro‐ and Nanoparticles

Packaging Technology and Science, EarlyView.
Biodegradable cassava starch films were developed incorporating micro‐ and nanoencapsulated pomegranate seed oil (PSO). The films exhibited enhanced mechanical flexibility, antioxidant activity and UV‐barrier properties. Particle size influenced the functional behaviour, highlighting lipid encapsulation as a key strategy to stabilize bioactive ...

Resveratrol attenuates areca nut extract‐induced chronic colitis by suppressing pyroptosis of intestinal epithelial cells via modulating cGAS/STING signaling

VIEW, EarlyView.
Areca nut extract (ANE), commonly consumed in some cultures, can damage gut cells by triggering inflammation and cell death through a pathway called cGAS‐STING. This leads to the release of harmful inflammatory substances and weakens the gut barrier. Our study shows that resveratrol, a natural compound found in foods like grapes, can block this harmful

Stratum Corneum Ceramide Abnormalities in Atopic Dermatitis: Pathophysiology and Implications for Disease Management

The Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The stratum corneum, as the outermost layer of the skin, functions as a critical barrier that maintains cutaneous hydration and systemic homeostasis. Among its structural lipids, ceramides constitute the most abundant and diverse component. These molecules are essential for the formation of lamellar structures that secure barrier integrity ...
