Impact of Ultra-High Pressure Homogenization on the Structural Properties of Egg Yolk Granule

Ultra-high pressure homogenization (UHPH) is a promising method for destabilizing and potentially improving the techno-functionality of the egg yolk granule. This study’s objectives were to determine the impact of pressure level (50, 175 an...

ETNK1 mutations induce a mutator phenotype that can be reverted with phosphoethanolamine

ETNK1 mutations are recurrent in leukemia but how they contribute to oncogenesis is still unclear. Here, the authors show that ETNK1 mutations increase mitochondrial activity, ROS and H2AX levels and that these effects can be rescued upon p...

Chemical Diversity of Fuzhuan Brick Teas from Hunan and Shaanxi

This study aimed to explore the diversity of metabolites and compare the metabolite profiles of Fuzhuan brick teas from Hunan and Shaanxi, to find out the difference in chemical components between fresh tea leaves and Fuzhuan brick tea and ...

Camel Milk Targeting Insulin Receptor—Toward Understanding the Antidiabetic Effects of Camel Milk

Camel milk (CM) is known for its beneficial virtues in the human diet and health. This includes its antidiabetic properties demonstrated in many in vitro and in vivo studies. Nevertheless, the scientific rationale behind the molecular and c...

Unraveling the formation mechanism of 3-methylindole from tryptophan in the glucose-mediated Maillard reaction: a combined ReaxFF MD, DFT, and experimental study

3-Methylindole is a concentration-dependent aroma compound, and its formation mechanism in the tryptophan-glucose Maillard reaction is crucial for flavor regulation but remains incompletely elucidated. Using gas chromatography-olfactometry-...

Effect of Nano-multi Micronutrients on Agronomic Traits, Nutrient Uptake and Soil Fertility in Pot Trial of Maize (Zea mays L.)

A pot experiment of maize was carried during summer seasons of March–July, 2023 and 2024 at the experimental field of Rashtriya Chemicals and Fertilizers, Mumbai, India, to assess the impact of multi nano micronutrients formulation (NM) on ...

Hermetic effect of Moringa oleifera leaf extract mitigates salinity stress in maize by modulating photosynthetic efficiency, and antioxidant activities

Salinity poses a significant constraint to cereal productivity particularly in arid and semiarid regions. The application of allelochemical has shown promising results in mitigating the intensity of abiotic stresses. A pot experiment was co...

Biophysical and textural attributes as selection indices for replacing the adopted cassava variety with the improved genotype to produce fufu

The use of the biophysical and textural qualities of fufu to choose the possible substitution of an adopted cassava variety (TMEB419-V1) with improved genotypes from the breeding program was assessed in this study. Standard methods were use...

Anti-inflammatory activity of two varieties of pumpkin seed oil in an adjuvant arthritis model in rats

The aim of the present research was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of pumpkin seed oils (PSOs) of an Egyptian and European variety, in a rat model of adjuvant arthritis. Edema thickness, plasma tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) an...

Natural Polyphenols for the Preservation of Meat and Dairy Products

Food spoilage makes foods undesirable and unacceptable for human use. The preservation of food is essential for human survival, and different techniques were initially used to limit the growth of spoiling microbes, e.g., drying, heating, sa...

TRACK-CF prospective cohort study: Understanding early cystic fibrosis lung disease

BackgroundLung disease as major cause for morbidity in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) starts early in life. Its large phenotypic heterogeneity is partially explained by the genotype but other contributing factors are not well delineated...

Group-format, peer-facilitated mental health promotion interventions for students in higher education settings: a scoping review protocol

Introduction Young people in higher education face various stressors that can make them vulnerable to mental ill-health. Mental health promotion in this group therefore has important potential benefits. Peer-facilitated and group-format int...
