Industrial Hydrocarbons Exposure Deteriorates Sperm Integrity and Reproductive Function

open access: yesJournal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, Volume 40, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Occupational exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) or metal fumes in the workplace may be detrimental to male fertility. The present study compared sperm concentration, total motility, strict morphology and oxidative stress and SDF levels between 81 men, controls (n = 17) and workers from plastic industry workers (n = 18), steel ...

Multi‐Responsive PAA/PNIPAM Semi‐IPN Hydrogel Properties Controlled by PAA Topology

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 47, Issue 15, 4 August 2026.
Polymer topology governs hydrogel behavior in semi‐interpenetrating networks. Cyclic poly(acrylic acid) enables controlled pH‐responsive swelling, improved stability, and enhanced deformability compared to linear analogues, while linear systems show higher strength during thermal de‐swelling.

Nitrogen Status Rewires Transcriptional Regulation of Dhurrin, a Dual‐Purpose Defense Metabolite in Sorghum bicolor

open access: yesPlant Direct, Volume 10, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Dhurrin, a cyanogenic glucoside, plays an important role in Sorghum bicolor physiology and defense. The concentration of dhurrin in sorghum is influenced by both nitrogen status and stage of plant organ development. While nitrogen resupply activates the expression of genes for dhurrin biosynthesis, the molecular mechanisms underlying this ...

Silicon Nanoparticles and Methyl Jasmonate Enhance Productivity and Nutritional Quality of Vegetable Cluster Bean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L.) Under Deficit Irrigation

open access: yesPlant Direct, Volume 10, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Cluster bean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L.) is usually grown for its high galactomannan content as an industrial crop. Young edible cluster bean pods are also eaten as a nutritious vegetable in many areas. There is little research on the effects of drought on pod yield or the nutritional content of edible cluster bean pods, even with the growing

TolC Is Required for a Mixed‐Linkage β‐Glucan (MLG) Biosynthesis: Engineering Bacteria for MLG Overproduction

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
TolC is identified as an essential component of the mixed‐linkage β‐glucan (MLG) biosynthetic machinery in Sinorhizobium meliloti, likely enabling polymer export. Co‐expression of tolC, bgsBA, and pleD* significantly enhances MLG production and enables its synthesis in non‐native bacterial hosts.
