Summary: Straw mulching and salvage logging may disturb burned soils and affect natural regeneration of forest species. This study found that after a wildfire and four years of post-fire treatments, areas with straw mulching and no logging showed better regeneration of Pinus halepensis Mill., while logging did not significantly increase the number of seedlings and had negative effects on their size and height.

Summary: Ulvans, sulfated polysaccharides found in green seaweeds, have interesting anti-inflammatory properties. However, their composition and properties vary greatly depending on seaweed species and processing conditions. This review emphasizes the importance of appropriate extraction, depolymerization, and purification techniques for reproducible and well-characterized products. Ulvans can modulate different signaling pathways to exert anti-inflammatory effects and have potential applications in various diseases.

Summary: Pinus halepensis is a key species in climate change due to its versatile nature and industrial potential. This research compares the effects of four different silvicultural treatments on even-aged mid-rotation stands of Pinus halepensis in terms of growth, vulnerability, resilience, regeneration, and shrub cover. The findings suggest that light and strong thinning treatments show better growth and stock results, while transformation to uneven-aged treatment maintains periodic growth, regeneration, and stability.

Summary: Roasting is a key step in preparing sesame oil that affects its chemical composition, oxidative stability, and antiradical capacity. Roasting increases oil yield, induction period, total phenolic content, and reduces the amounts of phytosterols, gamma-tocopherol, sesamolin, and sesamin. The unsaponifiable components extracted from roasted seeds can be used to extend the shelf life of meatball products. The results of this study contribute to enhancing the nutritional content of plant-based diets.

Summary: Crosslinking affects the mechanical behavior and tissue metabolism of collagen-based tissues. Aging and diabetes alter the crosslinking type and density, thus changing tissue properties. High-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking and advanced-glycation end-products result in uniform deformation under daily activity, while low-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking does not. High-connectivity model displays more sliding, while AGEs induce instability in structures near the binding sites.

Summary: The potential of multi-layer nanoemulsions for improving the cellular uptake, antioxidant activity, and in vitro bioaccessibility of alpha-tocopherol was examined. The results showed that the multi-layer nanoemulsions significantly enhanced the cellular uptake and antioxidant activity of alpha-tocopherol compared to free coumarin 6. Furthermore, the use of chitosan and dextran sulfate as wall materials in the multi-layer nanoemulsions led to even higher cellular uptake, in vitro bioaccessibility, and antioxidant activity of alpha-tocopherol.
