Biodegradation of Keratin-Rich Husbandry Waste as a Path to Sustainable Agriculture
Sustainability. 2021. Vol. 13. No. 16. Article 8691.
Every year, the size of the human population grows; with it, the need for agricultural products increases. This leads to an increment in the volume of waste, including hard-to-degrade keratin-rich ones, such as feathers. Currently, most of the agro-industrial complex protein by-products are utilized by incineration, landfilling, and chemical hydrolysis. Such methods do not meet modern trends in the development of a sustainable economy, negatively affecting the environment and humans, and preventing the reusing of waste. An alternative is biodegradation, which consists of the application of living organisms and their enzymes to recycle by-products. This approach is not only sustainable, but also makes it possible to obtain products of waste hydrolysis that are in demand for the manufacture of fertilizers and feed additives. This brings the development of agriculture closer to a circular economy and makes the recycling process more profitable. This review article emphasizes the significance of keratinolytic microorganisms and keratinases for the improvement of green methods for processing hard-to-degrade protein waste of the agro-industrial complex, which is necessary for sustainable economic development.

Gemcitabine, a first-line chemotherapeutic agent for bladder cancer (BC), often loses clinical efficacy due
to the development of drug resistance, the underlying mechanisms of which remain poorly understood. In
this work, a highly gemcitabine-resistant RT112/GR cell line was obtained by long-term selection. The MTT
assay revealed a 9312-fold decrease in gemcitabine sensitivity and moderate resistance to cisplatin (2.60-fold,

MicroRNA (miRNA) genes are frequently located in close proximity within the genome, forming so-called clusters. These clusters are transcribed as polycistronic units, suggesting coordinated transcriptional regulation of the miRNAs they contain. However, individual mature miRNAs from the same cluster often accumulate at varying levels and exhibit distinct tissue-specific expression patterns, indicating the presence of regulatory ...

Involvement of the transcription factor Bach1 in various scenarios of cellular regulation is reviewed herein. To date, the most extensively studied role of Bach1 is that of a repressor of the antioxidant genetic program initiated by the Nrf2 factor. This program counteracts oxidative stress, which triggers both ferroptosis and the intrinsic apoptotic pathway. Bach1 functions unrelated ...

Quasi-movements (QMs), which are movement attempts minimized to the point of movement extinction, evoke EEG patterns similar to those of real movement. QMs can model attempted movement in healthy subjects and are therefore of interest as an alternative to motor imagery (MI) in rehabilitation brain–computer interfaces (BCIs), in which the attempted movement of the paralyzed ...

Understanding the earliest pathological changes in Alzheimer disease (AD) is critical for improving early intervention strategies. However, the relationship between amyloid plaque characteristics and early behavioral and molecular alterations remains unclear. We used 6-month-old female APPswe/PS1dE9 mice, a model of early amyloid-dominant pathology, to assess cognition and emotionality across a battery of behavioral tests. Amyloid ...

Antiviral activity is commonly summarized using endpoint measures such as EC50 or EC90, yet these quantities emerge from a dynamic biological system and depend on viral replication kinetics, host-cell properties, experimental design, and the assay used to quantify infection. Infectious-virus titers, viral RNA, infected-cell fractions, viability measurements, and immune readouts capture different components of the ...

Low-frequency vibrations play an essential role in biomolecular processes involving DNA such as gene expression, charge transfer, drug intercalation, and DNA–protein recognition. However, understanding the vibrational basis of these mechanisms relies on theoretical models due to the lack of experimental evidence. Here we present the low-frequency vibrational spectra of G-quadruplexes (structures formed by four strands ...

This study reveals that regenerative viticulture in Europe is not a standardized process but rather a dynamic, context-dependent approach shaped by local terroir, cultural values, and individual winemaker’s mindset. The research demonstrates that successful implementation of sustainable winemaking strategies requires a glocal perspective that balances global sustainability principles with local adaptations. Key findings indicate that ...
