Risks for human health related to the presence of plant lectins in food

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The European Commission asked the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to assess the risk related to the presence of plant lectins in food. Based on the available evidence, the CONTAM Panel considered only phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), a legume lectin from beans (Phaseolus sp.), for the risk characterisation.

Maleic Anhydride and Its Derivatives: A Brief Review of Reactivity and Properties in Radical (Co)Polymerizations

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 46, Issue 24, December 18, 2025.
Maleic anhydride (MAnh) and its derivatives are underutilized monomer classes, each with unique reactivities and properties, which afford the synthesis of highly functional (co)polymers. This review explores the current understanding, opportunities, and limitations associated with maleic anhydride and its derivatives in conventional radical and ...

Cocoa polyphenols and inflammatory markers of cardiovascular disease [PDF]

, 2015
Epidemiological studies have demonstrated the beneficial effect of plant-derived food intake in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The potential bioactivity of cocoa and its polyphenolic components in modulating cardiovascular health is ...

Thermoresponsive and Flow Behavior of Hyperbranched Polymers From ATRP Inimer

Journal of Polymer Science, Volume 63, Issue 23, Page 5115-5130, 1 December 2025.
We present a library of hyperbranched polymers with tunable viscosity, thermal transitions, and degradability. Using a bifunctional inimer, we control polymer architecture to study flow behavior and thermoresponsive properties. Compared to linear analogs, these polymers show lower viscosity, stable flow across concentrations, and selective degradation,

Role of Ischemic Preconditioning in the Cardioprotective Mechanisms of Monomeric C-Reactive Protein-Deposited Myocardium in a Rat Model

Journal of Chest Surgery, 2021
Background: The deposition of monomeric C-reactive protein (mCRP) in the myocardium aggravates ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) and myocardial infarction. Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) is known to protect the myocardium against IRI.

Engineering Pt Single‐Atom Doped SeS2/Ti3CNTx MXene with Molecularly Imprinted Polymer for Precision Pancreatic Cancer Diagnostics: DFT and Molecular Dynamics Perspectives

Small Methods, Volume 9, Issue 12, December 1, 2025.
A novel approach is developed to pancreatic cancer screening by targeting the cyclophili‐B (CypB)protein using a molecularly imprinted polymer with the electrode material containing Pt single‐atom‐doped/SeS2‐Ti3CNTx MXene. The quantification of CypB in pancreatic cancer tissues provide an insight into the association of CypB with pancreatic cancer ...

Use of monomeric and oligomeric flavanols in the dietary management of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and microalb [PDF]

, 2018
__Background:__ Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) are prone to micro- and macro-vascular complications. Monomeric and oligomeric flavanols (MOF) isolated from grape seeds (Vitis vinifera) have been linked to improved endothelial function and ...

Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress: A Novel Target for the Prevention and Treatment of Hypertension and Its Related Diseases

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 29, Issue 23, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) emerges as a critical pathophysiological nexus in hypertension and related cardiovascular diseases. Chronic ERS activation via the IRE1α‐XBP1, ATF6, and PERK pathways drives vascular endothelial dysfunction (reduced NO bioavailability, increased ET‐1), renin‐angiotensin system (RAS) hyperactivation ...
