Article Abstract
Dynamic high-pressure microfluidization (DHPM) is an alternative method to physically modify proteins to improve their functional properties. In this study, perilla protein isolate (PPI) was treated by DHPM at different pressures. Results showed that DHPM treatment reduced the particle size and absolute potential of PPI by 75.90% and 22.28%. The increased surface hydrophobicity and free sulfhydryl content were observed in DHPM-treated PPI, which may be caused by the comformation changes of PPI. Furthermore, DHPM treatment would not cause the degradation of the main subunits and the variation of crystalline regions in PPI, but enhancing the thermal stability of PPI at 90 MPa and 120 MPa. Functional properties analysis indicated that DHPM treatment at 120 MPa was more effective in improving the solubility, foaming and emulsifying capacities of PPI. The results suggested that DHPM can be used to enhance the functional properties of PPI and expand its application in food systems.

The rapid increase in multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria and biofilm-associated infections has intensified the global need for innovative antimicrobial strategies. Phage therapy offers promising precision against MDR pathogens by utilizing the natural ability of phages to specifically infect and lyse bacteria. However, their clinical application is hampered by challenges such as narrow host range, immune clearance and limited efficacy within biofilms.

Wound healing is a complex, tightly regulated process involving a range of enzymes, growth factors, and cytokines that coordinate cellular activities essential for tissue repair and wound closure. However, in cases of extensive or severe injury, the intrinsic repair mechanisms are often insufficient, underscoring the need for advanced therapeutic strategies to accelerate healing and minimize scar formation. Electrically conductive hydrogels (ECHs), combining the advantageous properties of hydrogels with the physiological and electrochemical characteristics of conductive materials, present a safer and more convenient alternative to traditional electrode-based electrical stimulation (ES) for treating chronic and nonhealing wounds.

Globular proteins, traditionally regarded as non-structural biomolecules due to the limited load-bearing capacity in their monomeric states, are increasingly recognized as valuable building blocks for functional-mechanical materials. Their inherent bioactivity, chemical versatility, and structural tunability enable the design of materials that combine biological functionality with tailored mechanical performance. This review highlights recent advances in engineering globular proteins-spanning natural systems (serum albumins, enzymes, milk globulins, silk sericin, and soy protein isolates) to recombinant architectures including tandem-repeat proteins-into functional-mechanical platforms.
