Evaluation of some properties of starch and starch edible films from sub-utilized roots and tubers from the Venezuelan Amazons [PDF]
Biopolymers extracted from agricultural starchy commodities can be raw materials for edible, biologically degradable plastics. They have promising uses, having been proposed for replacing synthetic films.

Homeostasis of Gut Microbiota Protects against Susceptibility to Fungal Pneumonia
Fungal pneumonia induces inflammation, shown by heightened IL‐6, IL‐1β, TNF‐α levels and a growth in Staphylococcus in the alveolar flora. The gut microbiota, acting through the gut‐lung axis via blood, impacts fungal pneumonia susceptibility by altering lung metabolism and inflammatory responses.

This study reveals the genetic and molecular mechanisms controlling the general trade‐off between phenotypic mean and plasticity of grain chalkiness in rice and identifies two major external drivers (high temperature and wide grain) and a natural major module (GCP6‐MPC5) that control this trade‐off.

This study demonstrates that patients with PCOS exhibit altered gut microbial profiles, and FMT from PCOS patients induces PCOS‐like symptoms in mice. Specifically, gut dysbiosis reduces 3‐HAA levels in the context of PCOS. Administration of 3‐HAA to mice alleviates PCOS by promoting de novo NAD+ synthesis.

Sustainable and Direct Upcycling of Waste Graphite Anodes via Deep Eutectic Solvents
A charged particle attacks the vacancy to realize the in‐situ P‐doping model. Cl− anions chelate with charged metal ions for the purpose of impurity removal, and meanwhile the cations bind to the electrons on the vacancy surface to neutralize the electrons.

Alternative outlets for sustaining photosynthetic electron transport during dark-to-light transitions. [PDF]
Environmental stresses dramatically impact the balance between the production of photosynthetically derived energetic electrons and Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle (CBBC) activity; an imbalance promotes accumulation of reactive oxygen species and causes cell
