Fish Scales: A Multifunctional Biomaterial from Nature
ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.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 ...

A Core Set of Snap Bean Genotypes Established by Phenotyping a Large Panel Collected in Europe
Plants, 2022 Snap beans are a group of bean cultivars grown for their edible immature pods. The objective of this work was to characterize the diversity of pod phenotypes in a snap bean panel (SBP), comprising 311 lines collected in Europe, and establish a core set ...

Nanoplastics: Methods, Exposure and Effects on Domestic, Farm and Wild Animals
Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Nanoplastics (NPs) are synthetic polymer particles ranging in size from 1 nm to 1 μm that have been identified as a major concern for ecosystems and organisms due to their plethora of negative effects. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the knowledge relating to exposure and effects of NPs in domestic (i.e., farm ...

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is characterized by cardiomyocyte death, excessive oxidative stress, inflammation, and ferroptosis, which collectively limit the efficacy of reperfusion therapy. In this study, we investigated whether kaempferol (KAE), a natural flavonol with antioxidative and antiinflammatory properties, could ...

Growth and Respiration Patterns of Snap Bean Fruits [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1967 The relationship of respiration and growth of seed, pericarp tissue and whole fruit of snap beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) was studied. The whole fruit exhibited an apparent climacteric type of respiration pattern. This pattern resulted from an increase in CO(2) production by the enlarging seed followed by a rapid decrease in CO(2) evolution by the ...

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Broadly expressed genes outperformed brain‐enriched neural targets as RNAi candidates in Halyomorpha halys. Microinjection of dsRNA targeting alpha‐soluble NSF attachment protein (Asnap) or Ras opposite protein (Rop) caused strong feeding suppression and near‐complete mortality, identifying them as promising targets for future oral or spray‐based RNAi ...
