Green Biorefinery Solutions
This book delves into the innovative concept of biorefineries as a sustainable approach for managing biodegradable waste and producing valuable resources. It highlights the pressing need to address environmental challenges, such as waste accumulation and resource depletion while meeting the increasing demand for renewable energy and bio-based products. The book introduces the concept of biorefineries, which are analogous to conventional oil refineries but focus on converting biomass and biodegradable waste into a range of high-value products. These products include biofuels, biochemicals, bioplastics, biofertilizers, and other materials that can replace fossil-derived equivalents. The author explores various technological pathways and processes involved in efficiently transforming different types of biodegradable waste, such as agricultural residues, food waste, and organic byproducts, into usable resources. Readers are guided through the principles of biorefinery design, integration of various unit operations, and the optimization of conversion processes to achieve maximum resource utilization and minimal environmental impact. The book emphasizes the importance of circular economy concepts, where waste is considered a valuable input rather than a burden. It also discusses the economic, social, and environmental benefits of adopting biorefinery solutions in different sectors, from agriculture to industry. The book is a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, industry professionals, and students interested in exploring innovative approaches to waste management, resource recovery, and the transition towards a more sustainable and circular bioeconomy. By highlighting the transformative potential of biorefineries, the book contributes to the ongoing dialogue on creating a more environmentally conscious and resource-efficient future.

The Origin of Language
In a radical new story about the birth of our species, The Origin of Language argues that it was not hunting, fighting, or tool-making that forced early humans to speak, but the inescapable need to care for our children. Journeying to the dawn of Homo sapiens, evolutionary biologist Madeleine Beekman reveals the "happy accidents" hidden in our molecular biology--DNA, chromosomes, and proteins--that led to one of the most fateful events in the history of life on Earth: our giving birth to babies earlier in their development than our hominid cousins the Neanderthals and Denisovans. Faced with highly dependent infants requiring years of nurturing and protection, early human communities needed to cooperate and coordinate, and it was this unprecedented need for communication that triggered the creation of human language--and changed everything. Infused with cutting-edge science, sharp humor, and insights into the history of biology and its luminaries, Beekman weaves a narrative that's both enlightening and entertaining. Challenging the traditional theories of male luminaries like Chomksy, Pinker, and Harari, she invites us into the intricate world of molecular biology and its ancient secrets. The Origin of Language is a tour de force by a brilliant biologist on how a culture of cooperation and care have shaped our existence.

Biobanking and Regenerative Medicine
Regenerative medicine and tissue engineering play significant roles in the treatment of currently intractable conditions, such as chronic heart failure, stroke, chronic osteoarthritis, and other maladies. Regenerative medicine and tissue engineering generally depend on the utilization of stem cells to treat patients but may also utilize mature cells that would not normally be considered as stem cells (e.g., skin). Stem cells (like mature cells) may be obtained from many sources in the body including bone marrow, cord blood, cord tissue, adipose tissue, etc. Although stem cells are often used in therapy immediately upon isolation, in many circumstances, the stem and progenitor cells will be harvested, processed and banked frozen until a later time. Biobanking is a convenient alternative to same-day therapeutic use, in that it allows for patient recovery (e.g., from liposuction), provides time to identify the best treatment options, and may allow for multiple interventions with additional patient inconvenience or risk.

Molecular Mechanism Discovery of the Bioactive Phytochemicals against Different Diseases Based on Network Pharmacology and Molecular Docking
With the development of bioinformatics and the research on bioactive phytochemicals, network pharmacology and molecular docking have been widely applied to study the molecular mechanism of phytochemicals in treating different diseases. In the past two decades, research on bioactive phytochemicals has shifted from the isolation and validation of their biological activity in in vitro and in vivo experiments to the molecular mechanisms of bioactive phytochemicals against various diseases. Previous research studies have found that many plant extracts can potentially treat different diseases. However, the specific bioactive phytochemicals in these extracts and molecular mechanisms are still unknown. Network pharmacology is an advantageous research strategy for exploring the molecular mechanisms of bioactive phytochemicals in treating various diseases, as it can scientifically analyze the molecular mechanisms involved in treatments using certain compounds, including protein targets, signaling pathways, and biological processes. This approach can be employed to predict the curing targets of disease through big data based on the structural similarity of phytochemicals, and the prediction can be verified via molecular docking. This reprint gathers the latest research findings (including 1 editorial, 6 research papers, and 2 reviews) on the molecular mechanism of bioactive phytochemicals against various diseases through network pharmacology combined with molecular docking.
Parasites and Parasitic Diseases in Small Animals
Humans co-exist with animals that are part of our ecosystem, although they are not always noticeable due to their small size. In addition to the animals naturally present in the environment, a great number of small mammals are commonly kept as pets, such as dogs, cats, rodents, hedgehogs, and rabbits, not to mention other exotic animals such as birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish. This close relationship explains why some parasitic diseases are also zoonotic, infecting humans and even causing serious illness. Zoonoses can also lead to significant economic losses due to decreased productivity and increased healthcare costs. Although recent years have seen progress in this field, many aspects remain unknown. The success of the One Health concept now requires breaking down the interdisciplinary barriers that still separate human and veterinary medicine from ecological, evolutionary, and environmental sciences. For these reasons, it is fundamental to study and control parasitic diseases in small animals to improve global public health. Consequently, the open access journal Animals (EISSN 2076-2615) ran a Special Issue entitled "Parasites and Parasitic Diseases in Small Animals" with Angela M Garcia-Sanchez and Roc穩o Callej籀n as Guest Editors. This Special Issue contains original papers related to this broad topic that embraces a wide variety of animal hosts and parasites, such as arthropods, protozoans, and helminths, as well as research areas like epidemiology, pathogenesis, treatment resistance, control measures, vaccination, and immunology.

Effects of Early Nutrition on Premature Infants
Malnutrition, both intrauterine and extrauterine, has long been recognized as a significant factor in changes in brain development, leading to delays in the development of children and adolescents. The link between growth and development is well established, and the prevalence of malnutrition is increasing, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. This trend is often due to socioeconomic challenges such as inadequate prenatal care, insufficient vaccination, low caloric and protein intake, and prematurity. In developed countries, intrauterine malnutrition is also a concern, primarily due to pregnancy-related issues like assisted fertilization, multiple pregnancies, and pre-eclampsia. Additionally, low intake of essential nutrients necessary for proper brain development affects individuals in both affluent and affected countries.Malnutrition is a pressing global public health issue that exacerbates the gap between poor and rich nations in terms of somatic growth and neurodevelopment. To address this, it is crucial to conduct further research into the consequences and prevention of malnutrition, with a particular focus on its nutritional effects on this vulnerable population.
