Life‐Stage–Specific Hematological Profiles in Yellow Mealworm Beetles (Tenebrio molitor): Reference Intervals and Hemocyte Characterization

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The edible insect industry, driven by the nutritional and environmental benefits of mealworms, faces increasing challenges from pathogens affecting Tenebrio molitor farming systems. Hemocyte‐based health assessments could provide valuable diagnostic insights, yet standardized hemolymph processing protocols and hematological ...

Teachers' Pedagogical Reasoning and Students' Three‐Dimensional Learning

Science Education, Volume 110, Issue 5, Page 1365-1387, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This article reports analyses of data from a design‐based implementation project focused on middle‐ and high‐school science teaching. Drawing on teacher interviews and surveys as well as student learning evidence, we examined the relationships between teachers' pedagogical reasoning and their students' three‐dimensional learning. Most teachers

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 ...

The use of edible insects in human food

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 10, Page 5775-5787, 15 August 2026.
Abstract The world population is expected to reach approximately 10 billion people by 2050, which will significantly increase global food demand and may lead to agricultural shortages and a higher risk of food insecurity. In this context, this review discusses the potential of insects as alternative sources of animal protein, addressing their ...

The ageing holobiont: crosstalk between telomere dynamics, oxidative stress and the gut microbiome

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1877-1903, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The gut tissue is at the frontline of early onset of ageing. It exhibits high cell turnover rates and rapid telomere shortening, which can have systemic effects on the developing or senescing organism. We conducted a literature review of studies on the crosstalk between telomere length dynamics, telomerase activity, oxidative stress, and gut ...

Discovery of two novel cutinases from a gut yeast of plastic-eating mealworm for polyester depolymerization

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Identification of novel plastic-degrading enzymes is crucial for developing enzymatic degradation and recycling strategies for plastic waste. Here, we report the discovery of two novel cutinases, SiCut1 and SiCut2, from a yeast strain Sakaguchia sp.
