Surface Modification of Sisal Fibers for Enhanced Interface and Performance in Bio‐Based Polyurethane Composites

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Schematic representation of the processing of sisal fibers (Agave sisalana) and their incorporation into bio‐based polyurethane composites. The fibers are extracted from the plant and subjected to surface modification via corona discharge and alkaline (NaOH) treatments.

Live yeast as a possible modulator of polyunsaturated fatty acid biohydrogenation in the rumen [PDF]

, 2010
In dairy cows, several studies focused on the effects of sodium bicarbonate and fibre on ruminal linoleic acid (c9c12-C18:2) biohydrogenation (BH) whereas literature is scarce about the effect of live yeast, used as a feed additive. The objective of this

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

The transfer of conjugated linoleic acid and vaccenic acid from milk to meat in goats

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2010
Biomedical studies with animal models have demonstrated that conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) have many positive health benefits. The major sources of CLA in human diets are meat and milk products from ruminants. The content of CLA in ruminant fat depends

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 ...

Comparison of Three Sympatric Desert Lizards: Digestive Tract Structure, Digestive Enzyme Activities, Gut Microbiota, and Metabolites

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We performed 16S rDNA sequencing and metabolite profiling for three sympatric lizard species—Teratoscincus roborowskii, Phrynocephalus axillaris, and Eremias roborowskii—and compared their goblet cell and enzyme activities in the digestive tract. Our study suggests that the dietary niche may promote divergence or convergence of microbiota across host ...

LPC18:0 Secreted by Exogenous Neural Stem Cells Potentiates Neurogenesis and Functional Recovery via GPR55‐Mediated Signalling in Spinal Cord Injury

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
LPC18:0 secreted by exogenous neural stem cells potentiates neurogenesis via the GPR55/AKT/GSK3β signalling axis, which ultimately promotes spinal cord injury recovery. ABSTRACT Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating condition with limited therapeutic options. Although neural stem cell (NSC) transplantation shows regenerative potential, its efficacy

Investigation into the delivery and evaluation of a unique Avena sativa (Oat) Lipid Extract on skin barrier using LC‒MS/MS, Raman spectroscopy, immunostaining analysis and skin efficacy

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Oat lipids are rich in ceramides. In this investigation, we analysed the delivery of a specific Oat Lipid Extract derived from Avena sativa, comprising ‘skin identical’ ratios of fatty acids, ceramides and cholesterol/sterol. This investigation is the first reported investigation of oat lipids utilizing Raman spectroscopy for the ...
