Summary: Despite the bitterness of Moringa oleifera (MO) seeds, different processing methods were used to create MO toasted seeds, MO-based beverage, and yoghurt-like products with good chemical and rheological properties. The yoghurt-like product showed a gel structure similar to dairy yoghurt, making it a promising plant-based alternative. Further research is needed to improve the bitterness of raw seeds and achieve a more pleasant MO-based beverage. The developed products have the potential to become a source of high-protein plant-based food.

Summary: The proton pump transmembrane protein bacteriorhodopsin was successfully incorporated into planar floating lipid bilayers in gel and fluid phases using a detergent-mediated method. Neutron and X-ray reflectometry were employed to determine the structure and composition of the membrane protein system with sub-nanometer resolution, showing that lipid bilayer integrity and protein activity were preserved during the reconstitution process. Reversible structural modifications of the membrane induced by bacteriorhodopsin functional activity triggered by visible light were observed and characterized at the nanoscale.

Summary: In the future hydrogen economy, accurate, cost-efficient, and safe hydrogen sensors based on metal hydrides will be important. Alloying can tune the properties of hydrogen-sensing materials, as demonstrated by thin films of tantalum doped with ruthenium. The alloying effects include modifying the enthalpy of hydrogenation, shifting the pressure window for hydrogen absorption, and reducing the amount of hydrogen absorbed by the material, allowing for tunable sensitivity and a wide sensing range.

Summary: This study focuses on the analysis of triacylglycerol (TAG) composition in Moringa oleifera seed oil (MOSO). A new method combining reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry was used to identify and determine the TAG compositions. Approximately 13.9% of the TAG compositions in MOSO were still unknown. The new method successfully characterized a total of 33 TAG compositions, with triolein (OOO) being the dominant TAG at 39.3%.

Summary: The use of Moringa oleifera in water treatment has been proposed due to its abundant availability, low cost, reduced by-product generation, biodegradability, non-toxicity and multifunctional behavior. Studies have shown its potential as a flocculation aid and adsorbent for removing water contaminants, with a research gap identified in pilot scale studies for verifying viability in water treatment plants. Challenges and recommendations for sustainable application of Moringa oleifera seeds in water treatment were assessed.

Summary: Moringa oleifera, commonly known as the drumstick tree, is a drought-tolerant and rapidly evolving plant, with high nutritional and therapeutic properties mainly attributed to its bioactive components in different parts, especially the seeds. The seeds have shown pharmacological potential and health benefits, including antimicrobial, anticancer, antidiabetic, antioxidant, antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective properties. Further human/clinical studies are needed to fully understand the potential health benefits and safety issues of these functional ingredients.

Summary: Research has shown that the cellulose microfibrils in conifer wood stretch together under tension, with stress relaxation facilitated by water. The role of hemicelluloses in affecting the stretching and relaxation behavior of cellulose microfibrils was also observed. Additionally, it was found that lignin and hemicellulosic glucomannans may contribute to stress transfer between microfibril bundles on a larger scale.

Summary: The melting transition of Li-DNA fibers in ethanol-water solutions depends more on the interaction between the DNA and its aqueous environment rather than local confinement. As the ethanol concentration increases, the potentials weaken, DNA becomes less stable, fibers become more compact, and distances between base pairs become more regular.

Summary: S100A9 and S100A8 are major constituents of the S100 family of calcium-binding proteins found exclusively in vertebrates; they can act as alarmins in response to pathological conditions and have antimicrobial properties mainly through metal sequestration. The crystal structures of S100A9 reveal a canonical homodimeric form and an intramolecular disulfide bridge that stabilizes the protein's conformation, shaping a second zinc-binding site per protomer. Calcium and zinc seem to affect the relative proportion of non-covalent and covalent homodimers of S100A9.

Summary: An artificial amyloid-based redox hydrogel was designed to mediate electron transfer between a [NiFeSe] hydrogenase and an electrode, resulting in bioelectrodes capable of catalytic oxidation of H-2. The hybrid redox protein self-assembled into nanofibrils with aligned redox groups, allowing for close encounters and immobilization of the hydrogenase at the surface of carbon electrodes under mild conditions. Catalytic current densities of up to 270 mu A cm(-2) with an overpotential of 0.33 V were achieved under quiescent conditions at 45 degrees C.

In Africa, where poverty and food shortages are prevalent, finding cost-effective and accessible therapies is crucial for improving health and well-being. Good nutrition and access to clean water are essential for maintaining a strong immune system and fighting infection. Therefore, it is important to prioritize nutritional care and support in efforts to combat the pandemic and address malnutrition.

Summary: In this study, the influence of transition metal doping on the electronic and mechanical properties and electrochemical performance of 2HMoS2/NC was investigated using Cobalt (Co) as an example. Co doping was found to effectively improve the electronic conductivity and active site areas of 2H-MoS2/NC at different positions, optimizing the adsorption and diffusion capability of potassium ions. Furthermore, the study revealed the optimal roles of different types of nitrogen atoms in kinetic adsorption, diffusion, and interfacial stability of potassium ions. These findings provide guidance for the experimental design of high rate 2H-MoS2/NC electrode materials and the optimal design of other functional composite materials.

Summary: This research developed an effective approach to enhance the charging rates of lithium ion batteries (LIBs) by strategically incorporating carbon nanotube (CNT) conductivity boosters into Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) electrodes. Multi-layer architectures comprising CNT-rich and CNT-free LTO electrode layers were manufactured using a layer-by-layer spray coating method to promote charge transfer kinetics of high mass loading electrodes. The best performing multi-layer was paired with a spray-coated LiFePO4 (LFP) positive electrode, resulting in attractive power performance that outperformed conventional LTO || LFP combinations.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
