Immunomodulatory effects of cathelicidin in the gut–brain axis: A novel link between mucosal immunity and neuroinflammation

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cathelicidins are evolutionarily conserved host defence peptides known for their dual antimicrobial and immunomodulatory functions. Among them, LL‐37 in humans and CRAMP in rodents have emerged as crucial regulators of both mucosal immunity and CNS inflammation.

The use of computed tomography in a case of septic arthritis and osteomyelitis in a 2‐month‐old Holstein bull calf

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, May 2026.
Summary A 2‐month‐old Holstein bull calf presented with a 1‐week history of left front limb lameness. Lameness evaluation demonstrated a Grade 3/5 lameness in the left front limb. Clinical examination revealed resistance to flexion and extension of the left shoulder region, with no associated swelling or joint effusion.

Argon Cold Plasma Modification of Polyethylene Films to Tailor Surface and Barrier Properties

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 16, April 20, 2026.
Argon cold plasma treatment of low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) and high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) films induces major changes in surface chemistry and morphology. Contact angles decrease significantly while surface energy increases, improving wettability. FTIR confirms the formation of polar functional groups, while pronounced etching, roughness, and

Engineering of 2‐ketoacid Decarboxylases for Production of Isobutanol and Other Fusel Alcohols in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 123, Issue 4, Page 1036-1049, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Isobutanol is a fusel alcohol that can be produced microbially for use as a biofuel or upgraded into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). A key enzyme in the isobutanol biosynthetic pathway is 2‐ketoacid decarboxylase (KDC), which irreversibly decarboxylates 2‐ketoisovalerate (KIV) to yield isobutyraldehyde.

Dual Antimicrobial–Antioxidant Postbiotics From Lactiplantibacillus plantarum for Clean‐Label Meat Preservation

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
The postbiotics, which possess both antimicrobial and antioxidant activities, are derived from Lactiplantibacillus plantarum strains, revealing the presence of bioactive compounds. Functional assays showed strong antioxidant activity and strain‐specific antimicrobial effects. When applied to pork, these postbiotics significantly reduced microbial loads,

Lactuca sativa L. losses and wastes as a source of biobased ingredients

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 6, Page 3577-3591, April 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND The growing global population and increasing consumer focus on healthy eating challenge the agricultural sector to ensure both sustainable food production and safety. Lettuce (Lactuca sativa Mill.), the most cultivated leafy vegetable worldwide, can lose up to 40% of its weight during processing.

Acetyl‐Phosphate Dependent Protein Acetylation in Neisseria gonorrhoeae

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
The role of acetyl‐phosphate‐dependent non‐enzymatic protein acetylation in Neisseria gonorrhoeae was investigated through the deletion of the phosphotransacetylase (pta) and the acetate kinase (ackA) genes, this led to a decrease and increase in protein acetylation, respectively.
