The dairy industry is a significant player in the food industry, providing essential products such as milk, cheese, butter, yogurt, and milk powder to meet the global population's needs. However, the industry's activities have resulted in significant pollution, with heavy waste generation, disposal, and effluent emissions into the environment. Properly handling dairy waste residues is a major challenge, with up to 60% of the total treatment cost in the processing unit allocated to waste...

Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, and the limitations of conventional therapies such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy underscore the urgent need for innovative therapeutic strategies. While advances in early detection and treatment have improved outcomes in some regions, challenges such as micrometastasis, tumor relapse, and multidrug resistance continue to hinder long-term success. The multifactorial nature of cancer-driven by complex genetic mutations,...

Glioblastoma (GBM) is recognized as one of the most treatment-resistant malignancies, owing to its reinforced DNA repair systems and limited drug accessibility across the blood-brain barrier. This study, identifies, daidzin (DZN), a naturally derived isoflavone, as a potent redox-active DNA intercalator that intrinsically combines physical intercalation with chemical reactivity to breach this resistance. Unlike traditional intercalators, DZN autonomously triggers destabilization of DNA helices...

Advancing circularity through effective chemical recycling strategies is essential for enabling the sustainable use of emerging biodegradable polyesters in film applications. In this context, poly(pentylene adipate-co-terephthalate) with a 40/60 adipate-to-terephthalate ratio (PPeAT60), a significantly stiffer and partially biobased copolyester recently reported by our team, offers improved mechanical performance and processability compared to commercial poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate),...
