Identification of Target Genes of Transcription Factor DpAP2 Related to Carotenoid Biosynthesis from Dunaliella Parva
- Carotenoids act as the precursors of vitamin A and natural antioxidants, which benefit human health. The APETALA2/Ethylene Responsive Factor (AP2/ERF), as a transcription factor family, involved...
A High Energy Density Lithium‐Sulfur Pouch Cell Via Lignin‐Based Ionic Conductive Binder With Oxygen‐Rich Coordinating Sites
07/01/2026 - A series of biomass lignin‐derived polymeric binders are developed for Li‐S batteries via mimicking critical adhesive structures of mussel. Among these, Acidic amino acid phosphoserine grafted...
The influence of the nitrogen-to-protein conversion factors on the prediction of crude protein in black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens) using near-infrared spectroscopy
- Protein determination is of importance to characterise insect composition and quality. While different factors (kp) to convert nitrogen to protein have been proposed to report the concentration of...
Polymerizable Deep Eutectic Solvents‐Enabled High‐Lignin‐Density Networks for Ambient Multi‐Scale Fabrication of Multifunctional and Extreme Environment Adaptable Soft Devices
04/01/2026 - A polymerizable deep eutectic solvent (PDES) strategy utilizing a cationic monomer was developed to enable high‐density (> 20 wt.%) lignosulfonate‐interconnected dynamic networks, affording...
Cyanidin-3,5-O-Glucoside Alleviates DSS-Induced Colon Barrier Dysfunction and Fibrosis Through Autophagy-Associated Pathway-Mediated Inflammation Repression in a C57BL/6J Mouse Model
- The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of cyanidin-3,5-O-glucoside (C35G) on intestinal inflammation, mucosal barrier integrity, and fibrogenesis in a dextran sodium sulfate...
Enhanced Oxidative Degradation of β-O-4 Lignin Model Compound Using Robust Lytic Polysaccharide Monooxygenase–Cobalt Phosphate Hybrid Nanoflowers
- Lignin is a heteropolymer component of ligno-cellulosic biomass made up of monomers connected together by various linkages, the most common of which is the β-O-4 bond. As previously...
Versatile Applications of Chitosan and Its Derivatives Across Diverse Industries
04/01/2026 - ABSTRACTChitosan, a naturally occurring cationic biopolymer, is a linear polysaccharide composed of D‐glucosamine and N‐acetyl‐D‐glucosamine units linked by β‐1,4‐glycosidic bonds. It is...
Evaluating Isochoric Freezing as a Strategy for Storage of Red Blood Cells
04/01/2026 - ABSTRACTRed blood cells (RBCs) are needed for life‐saving blood transfusions, but they undergo continuous degradation during storage. Preserving RBCs for clinical transfusion remains a challenge...
