The ageing holobiont: crosstalk between telomere dynamics, oxidative stress and the gut microbiome
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The gut tissue is at the frontline of early onset of ageing. It exhibits high cell turnover rates and rapid telomere shortening, which can have systemic effects on the developing or senescing organism. We conducted a literature review of studies on the crosstalk between telomere length dynamics, telomerase activity, oxidative stress, and gut ...

Loss, persistence and reversal of phenotypic traits
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The irreversibility of complex trait loss has long been a tenet of evolutionary biology. However, this idea is increasingly at odds with the numerous documented exceptions across the Tree of Life. We synthesise this growing body of evidence across a diverse array of taxa and traits, exploring the evolutionary conditions that enable ...

The costs of extra‐pair behaviours in birds
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Extra‐pair behaviours – reproductive behaviours, including those related to copulation and paternity of offspring, amongst animals outside of a social pair bond – have long intrigued behavioural ecologists, particularly from the female animal's perspective.

The Effect of Lactic Acid in Association With Steam in Reducing Microorganisms in Soft Wheat
Cereal Chemistry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Within the food industry, steam is an effective method of microbial reduction for a variety of products. Previous studies have shown that tempering soft wheat with organic acids, as well as steam application, can potentially reduce wheat's microbial load with minor changes in the functional properties of the flour ...

How to Reduce Wheat Allergens and FODMAPs in Foods: A Critical Review of Patents
Cereal Chemistry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Supported by scientific evidence, this critical review of the patent literature examined methods to reduce wheat allergens and FODMAPs in foods, which may trigger digestive disorders and other health problems. The following topics were covered: proteolytic enzymes, proteolytic bacteria and yeasts, separation, plant ...

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.Here, we design a flexible and non‐flammable solid‐state electrolyte with hierarchical dual‐ion conductive channels. The engineered electrolyte combines continuous organic conductive‐phase pathways for fast bulk Li+ transport and dynamic polymer networks for interfacial ion hopping, achieving unprecedented room temperature conductivity (> 1 mS cm−1 ...
