Systemic pirfenidone treatment fails to mitigate fibrosis and compromises functional recovery in a porcine model of volumetric muscle loss

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Repurposing clinically approved antifibrotic agents presents a potential near‐term therapeutic strategy to mitigate the extensive fibrotic scarring that follows severe volumetric muscle loss (VML) injury and inhibits functional recovery. We hypothesized that daily oral administration of pirfenidone, an FDA‐approved antifibrotic, would mitigate

Structural Characteristics and Immunoregulatory Effects of Colla Corii Asini Peptides with Iron‐Chelating Capacity

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 5, September 2026.
Ejiao peptides were fractionated to iron‐chelating F2 (enriched in E‐Xn‐P motif), which restored immune function in CTX‐induced immunosuppressed mice via synergistic regulation of immunity and iron homeostasis. ABSTRACT Iron homeostasis is closely related to immune function, yet the structural basis of food‐derived peptides that modulate this iron ...

Integrated pretreatment and fermentation strategies for L‐lactic acid production from brewers' spent grain using native Streptococcus infantarius and Bacillus coagulans

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, Volume 101, Issue 9, Page 1869-1876, September 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Brewers' spent grain (BSG) is an abundant lignocellulosic byproduct of the brewing industry with strong potential as a renewable substrate for biotechnological production of lactic acid (LA). This study evaluated integrated pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis, and fermentation strategies to enable efficient production of optically ...

Ohmic heating dominates and ultrasound modulates aquafaba structure: A combined approach to design stable plant‐based emulsions

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 12, Page 7109-7124, September 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND This study investigated the individual and combined effects of ohmic heating (OH, 20 and 40 V cm−1) and ultrasound (US, 425 and 850 W) on the chemical, physicochemical, and technological properties of chickpea aquafaba (AF) and its emulsions.

Genotype‐by‐Environment Interaction Influenced the Crude Protein and Total Amino Acid Content in Lentil Varieties

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) is a globally important grain legume valued for its high‐protein content and nutritional quality. However, the genetic and environmental factors influencing protein and amino acid composition, particularly the role of genotype × environment interaction (GEI), remain partially uncovered.

Agronomic and Grain Quality Traits of Different Chickpea Cultivars Grown in Southern Germany

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT In Germany, chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is so far considered as a “new” crop. Introducing “new” crops in new growing regions can face many challenges. One of the major challenges is selecting appropriate cultivars. This study aimed to provide clear, region‐specific recommendations for suitable chickpea cultivars to support future agronomic ...

Black Chickpea Landraces as a Sustainable Protein Source: Physicochemical, Nutritional, and Technological Properties

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Neglected legume landraces represent valuable genetic resources for sustainable food systems, yet their compositional and technological properties remain poorly explored. This study comprehensively characterized the flours obtained from two Sicilian black chickpeas (Cicer arietinum L.) landraces, Rough Black Chickpeas (RBC) and Smooth Black ...
