Valorization of Green Coconut Husk Powder for the Sustainable Production of Levulinic Acid
ChemistrySelect, Volume 11, Issue 6, 12 February 2026.Green coconut husk powder, an abundant agroindustrial waste, is valorized into levulinic acid through aluminum sulfate catalysis. The sustainable process achieves 42.9% yield under mild conditions, contributing to circular bioeconomy principles and waste‐to‐chemical strategies.

Have the environmental benefits of insect farming been overstated? A critical review
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 163-194, February 2026.ABSTRACT Insect farming is frequently promoted as a sustainable food solution, yet current evidence challenges many environmental benefits claimed by industry proponents. This review critically examines the scientific foundation for assessing the environmental impacts of insect farming in both human food and animal feed applications.

A complex network perspective on brain disease
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 364-399, February 2026.ABSTRACT If brain anatomy and dynamics have a complex network structure as it has become standard to posit, it is reasonable to assume that such a structure should play a key role not only in brain function but also in brain dysfunction. However, exactly how network structure is implicated in brain damage and whether at least some pathologies can be ...
