Evolution‐Inspired Engineering of Diterpene Biosynthesis via Chloroplast Genome Modification

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terpenes constitute the largest and most structurally diverse class of plant secondary metabolites, with critical roles in plant‐environment interactions and broad industrial applications. Although nuclear genome engineering of terpene pathways has been extensively explored, chloroplast genome engineering remains largely undeveloped, with most

Sour orange (Citrus aurantium) seed, a rich source of protein isolate and hydrolysate – A thorough investigation

Heliyon
Sour orange (Citrus aurantium) seeds are typically discarded by juice processors as waste. This study aimed to extract protein isolates, produce hydrolysates from de-oiled sour orange seeds (SOS), and characterize their physicochemical properties ...

Plant‐protein supplementation improves thermoregulatory responses and ameliorates markers of intestinal damage during exercise in the heat

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exercise in the heat often causes gastrointestinal (GI) disturbances, which can impair performance. Single amino acid supplementation can attenuate gut damage and enhance exercise tolerance; however, the effectiveness of innate amino acid blends from plant‐based proteins remains underexplored.

Assessment of plant- and microbial-derived protein hydrolysates as sustainable for fetal bovine serum in seafood cell culture media

Future Foods
This study seeks to explore alternatives by substituting or reducing the conventional 10% serum concentration in zebrafish embryonic stem cell (ESC) growth media with protein hydrolysates sourced from peas, mushrooms, yeast, and algae.

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

Fish Scales: A Multifunctional Biomaterial from Nature

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 9, Issue 5, September 2026.
Fish scales demonstrate nature's solution to impact protection through overlapping multilayered architecture. This biological design combines mineralized surfaces with collagen networks to achieve both flexibility and fracture resistance. The structural principles inspire advanced protective materials and biomedical implants, where damage tolerance ...

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.
