Bionanotechnology to Save the Environment: Plant and Fishery's Biomass as Alternative to Petrol
(MDPI, 2019) Morganti, Pierfrancesco
The main aim of the current policy is to keep the environment in orbit with economics at the centre, not considering nature or environment as simple commodities. Preserving planet Earth’s biodiversity is crucial in order to keep its ecosystems in equilibrium. For this purpose, it is necessary to produce goods and tools using bio- and eco-compatible methodologies whilst also increasing knowledge on the concept of industrial sustainability. In fact, sustainability has to be based on the 3P pillars, Planet, People, and Profit, i.e., (a) the preservation of the planet’s environment; (b) the respect of people’s safety and well-being, to meet social expectations; (c) the maintenance of the industrial profit to manufacture and compete at a global level. Without entering into any kind of neoliberal education policy, this book aims to present new ideas to encourage those in the manufacturing industry to use both industrial and agricultural biomass in order to produce goods in a greener way. It may also encourage scientists and marketing professionals to educate the consumer on the necessity of maintaining biodiversity without impoverishing our planet of crucial raw materials.

Advances in Aquatic Invertebrate Stem Cell Research: From Basic Research to Innovative Applications
(MDPI, 2022) Ballarin, Loriano; Rinkevich, Baruch; Hobmayer, Bert
Aquatic invertebrates represent the largest biodiversity and the widest phylogenetic radiation on Earth, with more than 2 million known species. Up until a few years ago, their use as Model organisms in biological research was limited by the paucity of omics data. Recently, the situation has rapidly changed and is still changing. Today, the genomes and various transcriptomes of many aquatic invertebrate species, as well as many recombinant proteins of invertebrate origin, are available. New technologies have revolutionised the available toolbox of research methodologies. This explains the rising interest of researchers in the use of aquatic invertebrates as reliable model organisms. In contrast to the prevalence of diverse oligopotent and unipotent stem cells in vertebrates, aquatic invertebrates (especially non-ecdysozoan invertebrates) exhibit multiple adult cell types with stem cell attributes characterised by multipotency and pluripotency; furthermore, these give rise to cell lineages characteristic of more than a single germ layer, sometimes with somatic and germ line potentials. In addition, unlike vertebrates, aquatic invertebrate adult stem cells are disseminated and widespread inside the animal body, are not associated with a regulatory microenvironment (niche), and do participate in ageing and regeneration phenomena. These properties can help us to better understand the processes and phenomena in mammalian stem cell biology, such as natural chimerism and cancer, ageing and senescence, immunity, and autoimmune responses, which are all difficult to explain or understand in the human context.

Fundamentals of Biochemistry
(University of Manitoba, 2023) Jakubowski, Henry; Flatt, Patricia
This text is designed for the two-semester introductory biochemistry course but could be customized for a one-semester course as well. Biochemistry is the application of chemistry to the study of biological processes at the cellular and molecular levels. It emerged as a distinct discipline around the beginning of the 20th century when scientists combined chemistry, physiology, and biology to investigate the chemistry of living systems. Biochemistry is both a life science and a chemical science - it explores the chemistry of living organisms and the molecular basis for the changes occurring in living cells. It uses the methods of chemistry, physics, molecular biology, and immunology to study the structure and behavior of the complex molecules found in biological material and the ways these molecules interact to form cells, tissues, and whole organisms. The chapter organization generally follows the traditionally used biochemistry texts to allow easier adoption by faculty and use by students.
Regulation of Crop Quality and Stress Responses
(MDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2023) Chen, Mingxun; Jiang, Lixi; Guo, Yuan
This reprint focuses on the mechanisms of crop response to abiotic stresses and quality formation, which are an important basis for breeding high-quality and stress-resistant varieties, especially addressing global climate change. In addition, crop adversity adaptability is closely related to the quality of agricultural products. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms that crops use to respond to environmental changes is of great significance to improve their quality.
Advance in Post-harvest Preservation Technology
(MDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2023) Cefola, Maria; Pace, Bernardo
Fruits and vegetables are important sources of nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds, and provide many health benefits.

Analysis of Crop Genetic and Germplasm Diversity
(MDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2023) De Ron, Antonio M.; Rodiño, A. Paula
Plant genetic resources are the basis for the genetic improvement of cultivated plants and future food and feed security. The interactions of plants with their agrosystem, the influence of different cropping systems, and the resistance of crops to biotic and abiotic stresses, as well as the adaptation of plants to different environmental conditions under the current changing conditions, are relevant aspects. Agricultural biodiversity is the diversity of crops and their wild relatives, trees, animals, microbes, and other species relevant to agricultural production. Food and feed biodiversity is crucial to fight malnutrition and diet-related diseases. A diverse diet increases the likelihood of consuming adequate amounts of the full range of nutrients essential to human health. The genetic diversity of several crop species is presented in this publication. This biodiversity was assessed by morphological and agronomical traits and nutritional characters, also including molecular diversity and tolerance/resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses.
Toxoplasmosis: Epidemiology, Prevention and Control
(MDPI, 2023) Hotea, Ionela; Dărăbuș, Gheorghe
The scientific motivation to publish this book comes from the increased interest in the study of toxoplasmosis shown all over the world. Though the T. gondii infection was first discovered in 1908, toxoplasmosis remains a current research topic, and there is a realm of questions and dilemmas that interest both veterinarians and human doctors. The increased prevalence of toxoplasmosis in humans and animals, as well as the difficulty of the coproscopic diagnosis of toxoplasmosis in cats, expensive serological examinations in both animals and humans, a lack of diagnostic methods accessible to veterinarians in slaughterhouses, and cultural and culinary differences in human patients, which can influence the prevalence of the disease, motivate the scientific and practical importance of the proposed book, and reveal the importance of this topic for animal and human health. So, the proposed book will contain information regarding the aetiology and history of Toxoplasma gondii infection and also the parasite’s morphology and biology. This work will contain a very detailed epidemiology of toxoplasmosis from all over the world and for all species of animals. This chapter will also include the personal findings of the authors about T. gondii seroprevalence in domestic animals from Romania. In the last part of the book, we will present the main methods for toxoplasma diagnosis. At the end of the book, we will synthesise the main routes for T. gondii infection and the recommendations for reducing toxoplasmosis seroprevalence.
Advances in Legumes for Human Nutrition
(MDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2023) Johnson, Stuart; Bhattarai, Rewati
We are very excited to introduce this Special Issue of Nutrients, “Advances in Legumes for Human Nutrition”. Recently, legumes have contributed to a sustainable and increased food supply for the rapidly growing global population due to climate change. Legume seeds that are intact or milled into flour offer a complex array of macro- and micronutrients and phytochemicals for human nutrition. Additionally, they can be fractionated into their component proteins, starches, lipids and dietary fibre as health- and techno-functional food ingredients. These ingredients are in great demand by the food industry, for example, in the manufacture of vegetarian and vegan dairy products and meat analogues with good nutritional profiles. However, the issues, such as micronutrient availability, antinutrients and allergenicity, still require solutions for the maximum uptake of legumes by humans. We invited manuscripts that address any aspect of this broad topic, including the impact of innovative food technologies on the nutritional value of legumes and those focusing on nutritional properties of seeds from underutilised members of the Fabaceae (Leguminosae) family.
