Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles for Food Applications: From Synthesis and Functional Properties to Safety and Sustainability

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 4, July 2026.
Green and conventional synthesis routes produce ZnO nanoparticles with tunable physicochemical properties for food applications, ZnO‐NPs enhance antimicrobial activity, UV protection, and food preservation through ROS generation and ZN2+ release. However, particle dissolution, migration, cytotoxicity, and environmental concerns highlight the need for ...

D‐Allulose as a Low‐Calorie Sweetener: A 30‐Day Randomized, Double‐Blind Study on Gastrointestinal Tolerance and Systemic Safety to Support Its Application in Healthy Diets

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
This graphical abstract presents the key design and findings of a 30‐day trial evaluating the safety of fermented D‐allulose in healthy Chinese adults. Fifty eligible adults were randomized to receive either low‐dose (24 g/day, n = 24) or high‐dose (36 g/day, n = 26) D‐allulose for 30 days.

Curcumin Attenuates Aroclor 1254‐Induced Oxidative, Genotoxic, and Apoptotic Alterations in HepG2 Cells

Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, Volume 40, Issue 7, July 2026.
In HepG2 cells, Aroclor 1254 induced oxidative stress, DNA damage, apoptosis, and mutagenicity; co‐treatment with curcumin restored antioxidant defenses (GSH/thiols; SOD, CAT, GPx, GR, TrxR), reduced ROS and comet/8‐OHdG readouts, and attenuated caspase activation, demonstrating curcumin's hepatoprotective and genoprotective modulation of PCB toxicity.

The pivotal role of β‐lactone stereochemistry in the development of SARS‐CoV‐2 Mpro inhibitors

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract From the arrival of the SARS‐CoV‐2 coronavirus in 2019 and its associated COVID‐19 pandemic, worldwide efforts have been focused on developing a drug to treat patients. The SARS‐CoV‐2 main protease (Mpro) is one of the main targets for drug design due to its key role in the virus replication and its distinguished ability to cleave peptides ...

Abnormal cleavage patterns in equine in vitro‐produced embryos lead to higher early pregnancy loss

Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 58, Issue 4, Page 970-980, July 2026.
Summary Background Despite significant advances, in vitro production (IVP) of equine embryos continues to lack standardised embryo classification criteria and is associated with increased rates of early pregnancy loss compared with in vivo‐derived blastocysts.

Evaluation of genotoxicity in patients subjected to panoramic radiography by micronucleus assay on epithelial cells of the oral mucosa.

Frontiers in Dentistry, 2014
Radiography is one of the most valuable diagnostic tools used in comprehensive dental care. Although there is no safe level of radiation exposure, the possible risk associated with exposure to radiation, must be elucidated.

Mycobacterium avium Subsp. paratuberculosis and Human Endogenous Retrovirus in Italian Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Immunology, Volume 178, Issue 3, Page 417-427, July 2026.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), comprising ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), is a recognised gastrointestinal disorder. Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) is implicated in IBD pathogenesis. Persistent exposure and active infections by MAP may contribute to the unsilencing of human endogenous retroviruses (HERV ...
