The use of edible insects in human food

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 10, Page 5775-5787, 15 August 2026.
Abstract The world population is expected to reach approximately 10 billion people by 2050, which will significantly increase global food demand and may lead to agricultural shortages and a higher risk of food insecurity. In this context, this review discusses the potential of insects as alternative sources of animal protein, addressing their ...

Underexplored Ligand‐Binding Features of FabI From Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli: A Comparative Pharmacophoric Modeling and Surface Mapping Approach

open access: yesChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 15, 14 August 2026.
Antimicrobial resistance highlights the urgent need for novel FabI inhibitors. Using an integrated computational approach combining ConPhar pharmacophore modeling, FTMap surface mapping, and PLIP interaction profiling across experimental structures and structures from MD simulations, we identified a conserved binding core (Y156/Y157, A95) and ...

The ageing holobiont: crosstalk between telomere dynamics, oxidative stress and the gut microbiome

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1877-1903, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The gut tissue is at the frontline of early onset of ageing. It exhibits high cell turnover rates and rapid telomere shortening, which can have systemic effects on the developing or senescing organism. We conducted a literature review of studies on the crosstalk between telomere length dynamics, telomerase activity, oxidative stress, and gut ...

Lippia umbellata Cav.: Chemical Composition, Insecticidal, and Antimicrobial Activities

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 8, August 2026.
Hexane extracts of Lippia umbellata leaves and flowers contain lupenone, α‐amyrin, and hentriacontane. They exhibit insecticidal activity against Drosophila melanogaster and inhibit AChE in vitro and in silico. Furthermore, the extracts can inhibit the growth of medically important bacteria and yeasts, including multidrug‐resistant strains.

Deep Mutational Scanning for the Study and Engineering of Protein Assemblies

open access: yesChemistry–Methods, Volume 6, Issue 8, August 2026.
This review explores how deep mutational scanning (DMS) can be used to improve understanding and accelerate engineering of protein assemblies, from natural fibers to engineered nanocages. We discuss various types of protein assemblies and their characterization, provide an introduction to the DMS technique, and then highlight examples in which DMS has ...

Two Novel 1,4‐Naphthoquinone Derivatives as Potent Agents Against Multidrug‐Resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Pathogenic Gram‐Positive Bacteria

open access: yesDrug Development Research, Volume 87, Issue 5, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Drug‐resistant bacteria such as Methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Quinolone‐resistant S. aureus (QRSA), are a growing problem, creating a need for the development of novel antimicrobial agents. In this study, we designed and synthesized two novel 1,4‐naphthoquinone derivatives, LHN‐1034 and LHN‐1035, and evaluated their ...

Dominant Role of Habitat Transformation in Driving the Divergence of Health‐Risk Related Microbial Functional Genes in Karst Mountain Parks: A Metagenomic Study

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This manuscript elucidates the impact of transforming karst mountain forests into urban parks on health‐risk related microbial functional genes and its implications for mitigating potential public health exposures. Distinctively, the study advances prior research by evaluating the variation in health‐related functional genes within parks of varying ...

Integrated Evaluation of the Multifunctional Bioactivity of Curcuma zedoaria (Christm.) Roscoe Essential Oil: Antimicrobial, Insecticidal, and Postharvest Effects on Fresh Ginger

open access: yeseFood, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Multifunctional bioactivity of Curcuma zedoaria essential oil. ABSTRACT Plant‐derived essential oils are increasingly investigated as sustainable alternatives for food preservation and crop protection; however, their multifunctional applicability under postharvest conditions remains insufficiently explored.
