Acid Sulfite Pulping of Hemp: Effects of Processing Conditions on Lyocell Pulp Quality

Journal of Polymer Science, Volume 64, Issue 16, Page 3364-3381, 15 August 2026.
Industrial hemp is emerging as a promising renewable source for next‐generation textile fibers. This study evaluates whether acid sulfite pulping can produce hemp‐based dissolving pulp suitable for lyocell manufacturing. While the process is historically linked to increased cellulose accessibility, it did not achieve the low lignin content and ...

Discovery of VEGFR‐2 Inhibitors From Leonurus japonicus via Integrated Genetic Authentication, Molecular Networking, and In Silico Analysis

Archiv der Pharmazie, Volume 359, Issue 8, August 2026.
Genetic authentication of Leonurus japonicus was confirmed using ITS sequencing. UHPLC‐MS/MS‐GNPS analysis and isolation led to a new labdane diterpenoid (1) and known compounds (2–6), with anti‐angiogenic activity validated by EPC assays and VEGFR‐2 docking studies.

Recombinant Artemin‐Fc Fusion Protein Attenuates TLR4/NF‐κB‐Associated Neuroinflammation and Modulates Inhibitory/Excitatory Synaptic Marker Expression After Spinal Cord Injury

CNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
Intrathecal ARTN‐Fc treatment attenuates TLR4/NF‐κB‐associated neuroinflammation, promotes microglia/macrophage polarization towards an anti‐inflammatory phenotype, and improves functional recovery after spinal cord injury. ARTN‐Fc also modulates inhibitory/excitatory synaptic marker expression in the L4–L5 spinal dorsal horn, which may contribute to ...
