Article Abstract
Mucilages are natural compounds consisting mainly of polysaccharides with complex chemical structures. Mucilages also contain uronic acids, proteins, lipids, and bioactive compounds. Because of their unique properties, mucilages are used in various industries, including food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Typically, commercial gums are composed only of polysaccharides, which increase their hydrophilicity and surface tension, reducing their emulsifying ability. As a result of the presence of proteins in combination with polysaccharides, mucilages possess unique emulsifying properties due to their ability to reduce surface tension. In recent years, various studies have been conducted on using mucilages as emulsifiers in classical and Pickering emulsions because of their unique emulsifying feature. Studies have shown that some mucilages, such as yellow mustard, mutamba, and flaxseed mucilages, have a higher emulsifying capacity than commercial gums. A synergistic effect has also been shown in some mucilages, such as Dioscorea opposita mucilage when combined with commercial gums. This review article investigates whether mucilages can be used as emulsifiers and what factors affect their emulsifying properties. A discussion of the challenges and prospects of using mucilages as emulsifiers is also presented in this review.

Objectives: Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the oral mucosa, genetic and molecular alterations, including mutations in the p53 tumor suppressor gene, have been implicated in OLP pathogenesis. However, its molecular mechanisms are not clearly understood. This study investigates p53 gene mutations in OLP lesions.

Collision tumors represent a relatively uncommon form of tumor manifestation, characterized by the independent coexistence of multiple distinct types of tumors. Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the colorectum is a rare entity, with limited reports describing collision tumors involving adenocarcinoma and large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma. Distant metastases of colorectal cancer typically occur in sites such as bone, liver, and lungs; however, metastasis to the gingiva is rarely encountered.

Metastatic colon adenocarcinoma to the gingiva is exceedingly rare, accounting for 1-3% of maxillofacial malignancies and usually associated with advanced disease and poor prognosis. This case report describes a 68-year-old woman diagnosed with metastatic colon adenocarcinoma presenting with a metastatic lesion measuring 5 × 3 cm located in the left maxilla. The patient received hybrid spatial fractionation radiotherapy (SFRT) combining stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) with conventional SFRT protocols.

Degradable and recyclable biobased materials offer a sustainable paradigm shift from petrochemical plastics. However, their industrial viability often depends on developing a simple, material-efficient synthetic approach. Here, we report a series of peach gum polysaccharide (PGP)-based vitrimers containing dynamic acetal bonds.

Scurvy, a condition caused by a deficiency in ascorbic acid, is often considered an outdated, textbook disease, largely forgotten in the 21st century. However, recent reports indicate a rise in cases, particularly among individuals with risk factors for nutritional deficiencies or those with specific dietary habits. These cases are frequently misdiagnosed, leading to a series of unnecessary tests that could be avoided with a thorough assessment of dietary intake.
