Formation of acrylamide during baking of shortcrust cookies derived from various flours
Asparagine and reducing sugars are the principal acrylamide precursors in foods. Their main sources in pastries are flour and hen egg yolks. The concentrations of asparagine and carbohydrates vary with flour and depend on multiple factors like ...

Nitrogen Metabolism in Non-Nodulated and Nodulated Soybean Plants Related to Ureide Synthesis
Soybean plants can fix atmospheric N2 in the root nodule, a symbiotic organ with rhizobia. The primary forms of N transported from N2 fixation are ureides, allantoate, and allantoin, supplemented with asparagine.

Distinct amino acid compositional requirements for formation and maintenance of the [PSI+] prion in yeast [PDF]
Multiple yeast prions have been identified that result from the structural conversion of proteins into a self-propagating amyloid form. Amyloid-based prion activity in yeast requires a series of discrete steps.

Salmonella FraE, an Asparaginase Homolog, Contributes to Fructose-Asparagine but Not Asparagine Utilization [PDF]
ABSTRACT Salmonella enterica can utilize fructose-asparagine (F-Asn) as a source of carbon and nitrogen. This capability has been attributed to five genes in the fra locus. Previously, we determined that mutations in fraB (deglycase), fraD (kinase)

Organoids in pediatric cancer research
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

Mutation rate from asparagine requirement to asparagine non‐requirement [PDF]
AbstractThe mutation rate from asparagine requirement to asparagine non‐requirement has been measured using the Luria‐Delbrück Fluctuation test in the Walker 256 rat carcinosarcoma line grown in vitro. Non‐requiring variants are pre‐existing in the population, and are not induced by the selecting agent.

This study presents a novel AI‐based diagnostic approach—comprehensive serum glycopeptide spectra analysis (CSGSA)—that integrates tumor markers and enriched glycopeptides from serum. Using a neural network model, this method accurately distinguishes liver and pancreatic cancers from healthy individuals.
