Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

Assessing the Sensitivity of Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 Time Series to Wheat Yellow Rust Using Feature Evaluation, Separability, and Random Forest Classification

Remote Sensing
Yellow rust (YR) is one of the most damaging diseases of wheat, causing substantial economic losses and threatening food security worldwide. The potential of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) for YR monitoring remains largely unexplored compared with ...

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

Nutrient/TOR signaling controls adipose mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) to regulate organismal growth in Drosophila

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Animals must match their growth rate to available nutrients. We show that in Drosophila larvae, the nutrient‐sensing TOR kinase controls growth by regulating levels of TFAM, a key regulator of mitochondrial function, in the adipose tissue. When nutrients are abundant, high TOR activity suppresses TFAM, lowering mitochondrial bioenergetic activity and ...

Beefing up the chain for better food service

, 2005
The price of beef can go up and down with the tide, and this tends to put many farmers off the prospect of investing in extra cattle. All the businesses involved in a Value Chain Analysis project by the Food Chain Centre agreed that establishing a stable

Solid-State Fermentation with Saccharomyces cerevisae: A Strategy to Modulate the Properties of Faba Bean Flours

Foods
Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is a high-protein legume limited by its sensory profile and antinutritional factors like RFOs (Raffinose Family Oligosaccharides).

Scientific Opinion on the risks to public health related to the presence of chromium in food and drinking water [PDF]

EFSA Journal, 2014
EFSA received a request from the Hellenic Food Authority for a scientific opinion on estimation of the risk to human health from the presence of chromium (Cr) in food, particularly in vegetables, and Cr(VI) in bottled water.

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

Scientific Opinion on risks for animal and public health related to the presence of nivalenol in food and feed [PDF]

EFSA Journal, 2013
Nivalenol is a mycotoxin produced by various Fusarium species. The European Commission (EC) asked the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) for a scientific opinion on the risk to human and animal health related to the presence of nivalenol in food and ...
