Drought Stress Mediated Changes in Food Crops: Mechanisms and Remediation Strategies

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This work presents a multi‐scale framework for flavonoid‐mediated drought tolerance in staple food crops, integrating ROS redox regulation, antioxidant defense, rhizosphere microbial interactions, and sustainable agronomic practices. This interdisciplinary model provides core insights to develop climate‐resilient cropping systems and enhance global ...

Pigments, Microbial ☆

open access: yes, 2009
Nature is rich in colors (minerals, plants, microalgae, etc.), and pigment-producing microorganisms (fungi, yeasts, and bacteria) are quite common. Among the molecules produced by microorganisms are carotenoids, melanins, flavins, phenazines, quinones, bacteriochlorophylls, and more specifically monascins, violacein, or indigo.

Natural‐Inspired Engineered Microalgae With Selenium Enrichment Enabled Potent Anti‐Tumor Immunity

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Se‐Ssp was engineered as a potent immunomodulator for activating innate immunity via the TLR and cGAS‐STING pathways, therefore converting “cold” tumors into “hot” tumors to achieve high efficacy and long‐term therapeutic outcomes. ABSTRACT Immunotherapy has shed light on clinical oncology for several decades.

A CD14‐Targeting In Situ Hydrogel Directs Macrophage Reprogramming to Minimize Scar Formation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A CD14‐targeting in situ hydrogel formed from a microbial polysaccharide rapidly remodels the immune microenvironment by reprogramming macrophage polarization, suppressing excessive inflammation, and coordinating tissue regeneration. This multifunctional hydrogel promotes scar‐reduced wound repair through enhanced angiogenesis, collagen remodeling, and
