Is DNA metabarcoding an option for formaldehyde‐preserved zooplankton time series?

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract The recovery of amplifiable DNA from formaldehyde‐fixed (FF) zooplankton samples has long been considered problematic, but advances in degraded‐DNA retrieval have renewed interest in FF samples. To access the information stored in long‐term zooplankton time series, we evaluated methods for extracting amplifiable DNA from community samples ...

Development and Characterization of Liposomes Containing a Zn(II) Porphyrin Derivative for the Application of Photodynamic Therapy in the Treatment of Breast Cancer

Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives This study aims to synthesize and characterize lipid nanosystems (liposomes) for the incorporation of a Zn(II) porphyrin derivative, Zn(II) meso‐tetrakis(N‐n‐hexylpyridinium‐2‐yl)porphyrin (ZnTnHex‐2‐PyP4+, ZnPH), intending to employ an alternative method of treatment, such as photodynamic therapy (PDT), for breast cancer (BC ...

The integrated reproductive response: the scope for seasonal phenotypic flexibility shapes reproductive outcomes across fish populations

Oikos, EarlyView.
Across north‐temperate environments, rapid environmental change has disrupted the seasonal life histories of resident organisms, decreasing the reliability of environmental cues. Flexible responses capable of buffering the effects of unpredictable environmental variation to defend performance and reproductive outcomes may thus be key to species‐ and ...

Ecosystem engineers and functional dominance: when species loss matters for ecosystem function

Oikos, EarlyView.
Understanding when and why species loss affects community function in natural communities remains an open question in ecology. Recent cross‐system analyses have shown that functional dominance is associated with whether species loss matters: in communities dominated by few high‐performing species, lost species contribute little to function.

Fungal‐Assisted Recycling of Carbon‐Fiber‐Reinforced Polymer Waste via Mechanistically Informed Hybrid Pathways

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Fungal‐assisted recycling of carbon‐fibre reinforced polymer waste. ABSTRACT Epoxy‐based carbon‐fiber‐reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites are increasingly used in high‐performance applications, yet their highly cross‐linked and chemically resistant matrices remain difficult to recycle sustainably.

Lichen‐Derived Mineral Residue as a Renewable Particulate Filler in Polylactic Acid Biocomposites: Structure, Melt Rheology, Viscoelastic, and Flexural Behavior

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Lichen residue, a renewable mineral‐organic material, was melt compounded with polylactic acid and triacetin in a twin‐screw extruder. ABSTRACT A lichen‐derived natural material, known as “höllük” in southeastern Turkey, is introduced as a renewable filler for polylactic acid (PLA).

Cationic‐Hydrophilic Di‐Block Copolymers: Surface‐Shielded Vectors for Gene Delivery

Journal of Polymer Science, Volume 63, Issue 6, Page 1419-1432, 15 March 2025.
This study develops synthetic polycationic di‐block carriers for nucleic acid (NA) delivery in gene therapy. Consisting of a cationic block and a hydrophilic block, these carriers efficiently form complexes with NAs and shield them with a protective bioinert layer, enhancing stability during circulation in the bloodstream while reducing undesirable ...

Unveiling the health‐promoting potential of Sudanese sorghum landraces: A legacy rooted in Eastern Sudan, Kassala, and the Red Sea States

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Sorghum is a staple food for hundreds of millions of people in dry regions worldwide, and improving its nutritional quality is vital for global food and health security under climate change. In this study, we evaluated traditional Sudanese sorghum varieties grown in eastern deltas to better understand their natural health‐promoting properties. We found

Plant species are more important to bacterial community composition than seeding ratio in a pea‐canola intercropping system

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Demand for agricultural land has increased due to rising demand for food, potentially leading to expansion into previously untouched habitats, which threatens refugia of native plants. We aimed to provide insight into how variation in seeding ratio may impact soil bacterial communities in a pea‐canola intercropping system, potentially altering crop ...
