Second‐Generation Polyhydroxybutyrate Production From Pretreated Corn Lignocellulosic Fraction as a Strategy to Repurpose by Products From the Corn‐Processing Chain

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lignocellulosic residues are non‐cost, non‐edible, renewable feedstocks that can be used in polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) production. PHB is a bioplastic synthetized by microorganisms, formed intracellularly under stressful growth conditions; however, its production costs are high, representing the major drawback for fossil‐based plastics ...

Valorization of Textile Waste: Enzymatic Upcycling of Terephthalic Acid Toward a Sustainable PET Value Chain

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of the global textile industry, driven by the fast‐fashion paradigm, which is characterized by low‐cost, short‐lived garments made from inexpensive synthetic fibers, has intensified environmental pressures through increased waste generation, resource depletion, microplastic pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions ...

Review of Hmong and American: From Refugees to Citizens [PDF]

Hmong Studies Journal, 2012
While much research has been done on the Hmong, few studies have focused specifically on Hmong American identity. Vincent K. Her’s and Mary Louise Buley-Meissner’s Hmong and American is a contribution to this area of Hmong Studies as contributors to this

Micro‐ and nanoplastics in gastrointestinal disorders: Mapping the translational gap between exposure, biomonitoring, and pathogenic mechanisms

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review highlights critical “translational gaps” in understanding micro‐ and nanoplastics impacts on gastrointestinal diseases, bridging exposure, detecting, and mechanistic toxicology. Abstract Micro‐ and nanoplastics (MNPs) have become pervasive environmental contaminants with increasing evidence linking them to adverse health outcomes.

Engineered immunostimulatory H2O2‐producing microreactors driven by yeast as localized living cancer therapeutics

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Engineered yeast microreactors that produce H2O2 within tumors enable selective cancer cell killing while releasing immunostimulatory components, effectively suppressing local tumor growth and activating systemic antitumor immunity, with further efficacy enhanced by anti‐PD‐1 therapy and transarterial embolization.

Production and optimisation of Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) from Bacillus subtilis using response surface methodology [PDF]

Network Biology
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are storage materials, accumulated by various bacteria as energy and carbon reserve materials. They are biodegradable and biocompatible; hence, they can be used in packaging and carrier molecules in the agricultural field. In

Partially Biobased Polyurethanes With Reversibly Crosslinkable Furan Units Toward Recyclable Thermosetting Textile Fibres

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A molecular design strategy combines lignin‐derived aromatic units, sugar‐derived furan groups, and flexible glycol segments to create wet‐spinnable polyurethanes. Thermally reversible Diels–Alder crosslinking chemistry enables formation of crosslinked thermosetting fibers, repeated de‐crosslinking/re‐crosslinking cycles, and tunable fiber properties ...
