Although the multidisciplinary area of liver tissue engineering is in continuous progress, research in this field is still focused on developing an ideal liver tissue template. Innovative strategies are required to improve membrane stability and bioactivity. In our study, sustainable biomimetic membranes were developed by blending methacrylated chitosan (CSMA) with jellyfish collagen (jCol) for liver tissue engineering applications.

Optimal snack formulations and processing parameters have been established to ensure acceptable workability of the raw dough while protecting the bioactive components of the raw materials. The parameters examined were mixing time, speed, and temperature.

- Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a threat to various species, including wildlife, with increasing human activity exacerbating the issue in wild animals like sea turtles.
- A study analyzed antibiotic resistance in bacteria from loggerhead sea turtles at a rescue center in Southern Italy over nine years, revealing high resistance rates to several antibiotics, particularly among Gram-negative bacteria.
- The findings underscore the necessity for better antimicrobial management and monitoring in wildlife populations to protect both endangered species and public health.
This research has investigated Italian consumers' preferences for and purchasing behaviors of strawberries utilizing the Best-Worst Scaling methodology (BWS). This approach enables the key factors that influence strawberry purchasing decisions to be identified and different choice groups to be characterized. To achieve this goal, a survey was conducted on a sample of 496 respondents living in the metropolitan area of Milan (North Italy).
