Targeted keratin repair: A plant‐based approach to hair strength and surface restoration

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Application of Avena strigosa seed extract may reinforce keratin bonding, restoring hair fibre integrity by promoting intramolecular interactions at damaged sites of keratin proteins. Abstract Objective Chemical and thermal stress disrupts the intramolecular and intermolecular interactions that stabilize hair keratin, leading to structural degradation ...

Protective effects of extracellular vesicle‐like nanoparticles derived from Cannabis sativa adventitious roots against UVB‐induced damage in human keratinocytes

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Cannabis sativa root‐derived extracellular vesicle‐like nanoparticles (CA‐NPs) were isolated from adventitious root cultures and subjected to physicochemical characterization. Upon UVB exposure, keratinocytes exhibited increased ROS generation, apoptosis and MAPK activation, leading to oxidative stress and skin damage.

From pollen provision to pollinator: Species‐specific sterol assimilation by wild bees in urban landscapes

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1906-1920, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Human‐driven landscape change, particularly urbanization, is reshaping pollinator communities, yet the functional traits that mediate species persistence remain poorly understood. Dietary specialization is commonly used to predict species vulnerability.

Alphafuser: a parsimonious approach to predicting higher‐order protein complexes

Acta Crystallographica Section D, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 421-433, May 2026.
Alphafuser is a structure‐prediction pipeline that integrates experimental interaction data with AlphaFold‐based modeling to systematically assemble multiprotein complexes in a computationally efficient manner. By implementing an ipTM‐based pruning algorithm and validating against known structures and experimental assays, Alphafuser enables the ...

A Cross‐Sectional Study Shows Emergence of the Delta, 19B, 20A, 20B, 19A, and Omicron Variants of SARS‐CoV‐2 in Burkina Faso: A Conundrum Within a Conundrum

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Context and Objective SARS‐CoV‐2 is an RNA virus that emerged in Wuhan, China. Adaptive mutations in its genome can influence the virus's pathogenicity, enhance its ability to evade the host immune system, and complicate vaccine development. This study aimed to identify the circulating SARS‐CoV‐2 variants in Burkina Faso and trace their origin.

Mulching Increases Water Use Efficiency, Production and Profitability in Forage Cactus–Maize Intercropping Systems

Irrigation and Drainage, Volume 75, Issue 2, Page 498-517, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study evaluated the growth, forage production, soil water balance, water indices, biological efficiency and competitive capacity of forage cactus and maize in monoculture and intercropping, with or without mulch. The experiment was conducted in Serra Talhada, Pernambuco, Brazil, using the cactus clone ‘Orelha de Elefante Mexicana’ (OEM ...

Effect of Seed Priming by Zinc‐Ion and Zinc‐Oxide Nanoparticle Enriched Plasma‐Activated Water in Osmotic‐Stressed Arabidopsis thaliana

Plasma Processes and Polymers, Volume 23, Issue 4, April 2026.
Plasma treatment with metallic Zn stabilizes nitrite, while ZnO nanoparticles favour for nitrite oxidation. PAW seed priming alters seed coat, increases K⁺ efflux, improves germination, and enhances Zn uptake. Under osmotic stress, seedlings show higher NO levels, with improved cotyledon growth and stomatal formation, strengthening early stress ...
