Geological and geotechnical challenges on the Great Dyke of Zimbabwe and their impact on hardrock pillar design

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The Great Dyke of Zimbabwe is notable for its rich platinum group metal deposits but poses significant geological and geotechnical challenges due to its complex rock types and structural features. Traditional pillar design methods are insufficient for addressing these complexities; the study suggests incorporating advanced techniques such as machine ...

Time‐Resolved SAXS Studies During the Synthesis of Hydrolytically Degradable Poly(ε‐caprolactone)‐Poly(N,N′‐dimethylacrylamide) Diblock Copolymer Nanoparticles in Aqueous Media

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 2, 9 January 2026.
Synthesis of hydrolytically degradable poly(N,N′‐dimethylacrylamide)‐poly(ɛ‐caprolactone) nanoparticles via reverse sequence polymerization‐induced self‐assembly (PISA) at 80 °C is studied by time‐resolved small‐angle X‐ray scattering (SAXS). This technique reveals the formation of molten poly(ɛ‐caprolactone) (PCL) droplets prior to water addition, a ...

Mechanism of CO₂ and NH₃ transport through human aquaporin 1: Evidence for parallel CO₂ pathways. [PDF]

J Physiol
Abstract figure legend The figure illustrates the permeation pathways for CO2, NH3 and H2O through AQP1. The panel on the left, with the wild‐type protein under control conditions, CO2 moves through monomeric pores (2 of 4 shown) but predominantly via an alternate pathway (perhaps the central pore of the tetramer).

Dismantling the genus Tarenna (Rubiaceae: Pavetteae) in Africa and Madagascar, with the description of three new genera

TAXON, EarlyView.
Abstract As presently circumscribed, the Paleotropical genus Tarenna, belonging to the tribe Pavetteae (Rubiaceae), comprises about 200 species and has its centres of diversity in tropical Asia and Africa. Previous molecular phylogenetic studies of the tribe revealed the polyphyly of Tarenna, suggesting that the genus needs to be recircumscribed ...

Separating Myths From Facts About Bread and Health

Nutrition Bulletin, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT White bread remains a staple food in many countries and global consumption continues to increase. However, there is an increasingly contentious debate, carried out particularly in social media and the popular press, about the adverse effects on health of factory‐produced sliced white bread as opposed to the whole grain breads made with ...

Transgene‐Free, Gene‐Edited Cavendish Bananas (Musa acuminata, AAA)

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global consumer acceptance of gene‐edited food crops is increasing with new breeding technologies that can modify the genome without foreign DNA integration. Here, we report an Agrobacterium‐based system for transgene‐free, gene editing of the banana cultivar, Cavendish.

A MaERF110‐MaMYB308 Transcriptional Module Negatively Regulates Lignin‐Mediated Defence Against Fusarium Wilt in Banana

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fusarium wilt of banana (FWB), caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc), threatens global banana production. Lignin reinforces cell walls against pathogens and lodging, yet its regulatory mechanisms in banana remain elusive. Through genome‐wide association study (GWAS) of lignin content across 184 banana accessions, we identified ...

Protoplast‐Based Functional Genomics and Genome Editing: Progress, Challenges and Applications

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Protoplast‐based systems provide a powerful and versatile platform for exploring how plants sense and respond to their environment. By enabling the direct delivery of proteins, DNA, and RNA into plant cells after cell wall removal, this approach facilitates precise molecular dissection of signaling, stress adaptation, and gene regulation ...

Tocotrienols: A Review From Source to Therapeutic Applications

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.
Tocotrienols demonstrate superior antioxidant, neuroprotective, and anti‐inflammatory properties compared to conventional vitamin E forms, with promising therapeutic applications across multiple disorders when delivered through optimized systems that enhance their inherently limited bioavailability.

Revisiting the relationship between stomatal size and speed across species – a meta‐analysis

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2338-2354, March 2026.
Summary The rate of stomatal opening and closure in response to changes in light affects leaf photosynthesis and water use. However, it is unclear how strongly stomatal size (SS) and density (SD) influence stomatal conductance (gs) kinetics, and whether variation arises from methodological differences, guard cell type or degree of amphistomaty.
