The Effect of Food Value Chain Interventions on Food Security in Sub‐Saharan Africa: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Household participation in food value chain interventions in sub‐Saharan Africa was associated with 16‐percentage‐point lower food insecurity prevalence, higher dietary diversity, 506 kcal greater daily energy intake, USD 42 higher annual food expenditure per person, and improved child weight‐for‐age. Producer‐level benefits included USD 45 higher farm

Food and Medicine Homologous Plants in Osteoporosis: A Scoping Review of Preclinical Evidence

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Food and medicine homologous (FMH) plants and their bioactive compounds exhibit potential osteoprotective effects through multiple complementary mechanisms, including estrogen‐like signaling, attenuation of oxidative stress, modulation of the gut microbiota–bone axis, and regulation of autophagy.

The Modernized Traditional Diet: A Major Risk Factor for Hypertension and Multimorbidity in Belize's Multiethnic Population

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
The Belize Nutrition and Health Study (n = 289) identified two dietary patterns: a “Modernized Traditional Staple” pattern (high refined carbohydrates, low diversity) associated with 40% higher odds of hypertension, and a protective “Prudent/Healthy” pattern.

Impact of Isolation Techniques on the Content of Small Extracellular Vesicles

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT An important topic of discussion amongst the extracellular vesicle (EV) research field is which genetic materials are considered true constituents of EV cargo. What were once regarded as non‐EV components have now evolved to be potentially essential to EV composition, serving as key mediators in communication.

Urea provides an important nitrogen source for microbial populations in an ultraoligotrophic sea

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
Urea is an organic nitrogen (N) compound directly utilized by both heterotrophic prokaryotes and some photoautotrophs. Reports of either ambient urea concentrations or urea uptake rates from the ultraoligotrophic eastern Mediterranean Sea are lacking. We investigated urea distribution and uptake in the upper water column in the Levantine basin during ...

Genome Editing in Root and Tuber Crop Development in Sub‐Saharan Africa

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Precision genome editing, particularly using Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR‐associated protein 9 (Cas9), is advancing crop improvement by enabling targeted and efficient genetic modifications. Root and tuber crops such as potato, cassava, sweet potato, and yam are vital for global food and nutritional
