There is an urgent need for stable, plant-based Pickering foams to address the growing consumer demand for sustainable, low-calorie, aerated sweet foods. This study employed a cold plasma-assisted deamidation and glycosylation (CPDG) approach to promote hydrophilic reassembly of zein, resulting in the formation of sugar derivative-zein conjugates. This was accomplished by coupling deamidated zein with polyhydroxy sugars including sucralose (Suc), maltitol (Mal), mannitol (Man), and stevioside (Ste).

One of the promising drug delivery tools is ferritin, which features high stability at a wide range of conditions and protects cargo by its spherical protein shell. We studied the self-assembly into homoglobules of ferritin from H. pylori and a chimeric protein ferritin-SUMO.

Diet is one of the main factors shaping the human microbiome, yet our understanding of how specific dietary components influence microbial consortia assembly and subsequent stability in response to press disturbances - such as increasing resource availability (feeding rate) - is still incomplete. This study explores the reproducible re-assembly, metabolic interplay, and compositional stability within microbial consortia derived from pooled stool samples of three healthy infants. Using a single-step packed-bed reactor (PBR) system, we assessed the reassembly and metabolic output of consortia exposed to lactose, glucose, galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), and humanized GOS (hGOS).

The commonly used precipitation method struggles to effectively remove low-concentration heavy metals from water. Herein, we demonstrate that the formation of non-settleable phosphate sols at a low low-concentration is the main reason by using phosphate precipitation as an example and report a new method called microbial-induced reassembly (MIR) of the phosphate sols for the removal and fixation of divalent manganese (Mn(II)) from low-concentration wastewater under neutral conditions. Under the induction of microorganisms, the Mn(PO) sols formed in low Mn(II) concentration could be reassembled into larger and flower-like precipitates with good settleability, allowing for the removal and fixation of low-concentration Mn(II) through natural settlement.

Although immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have made great progress in cancer treatment, their off-tumor distribution, low affinity of traditional ICIs and insufficient T cells infiltration at tumor site limit immunotherapeutic efficacy. Herein, we engineer a highly specific and effective PD-L1 inhibitor (PEC) that modulates the level of binding sites with PD-L1. Specifically, PEC is a hybrid system composed of E.
