Article Abstract
Mao-tofu is famous for its unique flavour and texture in Anhui Province, China. The physicochemical properties and microbial diversity of Mao-tofu during different fermentation periods were studied. The pH of the tofu was acidic, the moisture gradually decreased, and the hardness, viscosity, and chewiness gradually increased, while the elasticity gradually decreased. Among these, changes in volatiles and synergistic effects of proteins, peptides, and free amino acids (FAAs) affect the flavour of Mao-tofu. Histamine had the highest concentration among all biogenic amine (BA) during the whole fermentation process. A microbial community analysis showed that and were the most important strains throughout the fermentation process. Bacterial abundance and diversity also showed a gradual increase, while fungal abundance and diversity showed a gradual decrease. A comprehensive analysis of the physicochemical changes associated with microbial succession can help to gain insights into the maturation process of texture and flavour during the production of Mao-tofu.

The development of alternative methods to animal testing has gained momentum over the years, including the rapid growth of methods, which are faster and more cost-effective. A large number of tools have been published, focusing on Read-Across, (quantitative) Structure-Activity Relationship ((Q)SAR) models, and Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models. All of these methods play a crucial role in the risk assessment for cosmetics.

The pyrolysis of flue-cured tobacco stalks (TS) faces challenges such as low bio-oil value and utilization efficiency. Existing studies have overlooked the anatomical heterogeneity of tobacco stalks, thereby limiting the directional regulation of high-value components, such as nicotine and phenolic compounds. This study divides TS into the husk (TSH), xylem (TSX), and pith (TSP), and investigates their physicochemical properties, pyrolysis behavior (through TGA and fixed-bed pyrolysis experiments), and interactions.

We explored the role of Polygonatum Rhizoma polysaccharide (PRP) in delaying aging and improving Alzheimer's disease (AD) and revealed its potential molecular mechanism. Through chemical characterizations to clarify the physicochemical properties of PRP, it was found that PRP mainly consists of mannose, glucose, galactose, and arabinose, with molecular weights ranging from 7.4 × 10 to 9.

Most chemotherapeutics distribute non-specifically throughout the body, resulting in off-target toxicities. Nanoparticle (NP) formulations provide a strategy to improve drug delivery by extending circulation time, protecting therapeutic agents from degradation, and enabling controlled release. However, delivering NPs effectively to solid tumors remains challenging due to the barriers within the tumor microenvironment.

In recent years, the incidence of orthopedic diseases has increased significantly, while traditional treatments often face limitations such as limited efficacy and pronounced side effects. The development of nanomedicine technology provides novel strategies for orthopedic disease treatment. As an emerging two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterial, black phosphorus nanosheets (BPNS) demonstrate remarkable potential in treating orthopedic diseases due to their unique physicochemical properties, superior biocompatibility, and the fact that their degradation product-elemental phosphorus-constitutes an essential component of bone tissue.
