Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting

Long-term organic nutrient management in tomato enhances yield, quality, profitability, and soil health in a semi-arid conditions

Scientific Reports
The long-term sustainability of intensive vegetable production systems is threatened by soil degradation and environmental pollution from chemical inputs. A comprehensive seven-year field experiment (2018–2025) was conducted to identify effective organic

Zein‐Based Adhesives: Sustainable Extraction and Application in Bioadhesive Technologies

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Zein is extracted from corn gluten meal using a simple and scalable process with high yield (~90%). The resulting protein is applied in bioadhesives modified with Ca2+ and Fe3+ ions, exhibiting substrate‐dependent adhesion. The findings demonstrate competitive bonding performance and highlight the role of ionic interactions in tuning adhesion ...

3D (Bio) Printing Combined Fiber Fabrication Methods for Tissue Engineering Applications: Possibilities and Limitations

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Biofabrication aims at providing innovative technologies and tools for the fabrication of tissue‐like constructs for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. By integrating multiple biofabrication technologies, such as 3D (bio) printing with fiber fabrication methods, it would be more realistic to reconstruct native tissue's ...

Enhancement of Fermentation Performance in the Anaerobic Co-Digestion of Chicken Manure and Corn Straw under Biogas Slurry Reflux via Air Stripping of the Digestate

Agronomy
Ammonium inhibition is a key limiting factor for anaerobic digestion when using chicken manure as the main substrate, especially in a digestion system with biogas slurry reflux. Air stripping is usually used as a recycled biogas slurry treatment. In this

The level of N₂-fixation of different genotypes of winter pea in comparison to spring pea in pure and mixed stands

Journal für Kulturpflanzen, 2011
In contrast to the common spring pea (SP), little is known about the capacity of winter peas (WP) for sym­biotic N2 fixation in pure and mixed stands. Therefore, seven WP genotypes and one semi-leafless SP in pure stands and two mixtures with cereals (25%
