Engineering Magnetotactic Bacteria as Medical Microrobots

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are living microorganisms that produce magnetosomes for navigation using the Earth's geomagnetic field. Their built‐in magnetic components, along with their intrinsic and/or modified biological functions, make them one of the most promising platforms for making future living and programmable microrobots.

Postharvest heat treatments to inhibit Penicillium digitatum growth and maintain quality of Mandarin (Citrus reticulata blanco)

Heliyon, 2020
Use of fungicides is a common practice as a postharvest treatment to control fruit decay. Nowadays, environment friendly technologies, such as heat treatments, are viable replacements.

Implementing experiential learning activities in a large enrollment introductory food science and human nutrition course [PDF]

, 2008
Experiential learning activities are often viewed as impractical, and potentially unfeasible, instructional tools to employ in a large class. Research has shown, though, that the metacognitive skills that students utilize while participating in ...

Miniaturized Devices for On‐the‐Spot Generation of Small‐Diameter Vascular Grafts

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
An intracorporeal extrusion device is developed for on‐the‐spot generation of vascular grafts with tunable diameters spanning from 1 to 6 mm. The device uses biomimetic polymers and light, to promptly obtaining biocompatible and high‐burst pressure‐resistant grafts.

β‐Glucuronidase‐Expressing Lactobacillus reuteri Triggers Irinotecan Enterotoxicity Through Depleting the Regenerative Epithelial Stem/Progenitor Pool

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
XLP mitigated CPT11 mucositis by suppressing GUS‐expressing microbes, notably L. reuteri, and diminishing bacterial GUS activity, consequently reducing SN38 accumulation to protect the intestinal epithelium. This preservation of the mucosal stem cell niche enabled rapid regeneration of secretory lineages such as mucin‐producing goblet cells, which ...

MYC Binding Near Transcriptional End Sites Regulates Basal Gene Expression, Read‐Through Transcription, and Intragenic Contacts

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
MYC is a transcription factor (TF) that binds DNA near transcriptional start sites (TSSs) and within enhancer elements. Here, unappreciated sites of MYC binding in the vicinity of transcriptional end sites (TESs) of many genes in multiple cell types in association with numerous other TFs are described previously.

Reversing Food Craving Preference Through Multisensory Exposure [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Experiencing food craving is nearly ubiquitous and has several negative pathological impacts, but effective intervention strategies to control or reverse craving remain limited. Food cue-reactivity tasks are often used to study food craving but most paradigms ignore individual food preferences, which could confound the findings.

Inhibitory activity of a Concanavalin-isolated fraction from a glucosamine-peptides reaction system against heat resistant E. coli

Heliyon, 2017
Alcalase-derived gelatin hydrolysates were glycated with glucosamine in the presence (+) or absence (−) of transglutaminase (TGase), and their antimicrobial activities toward Escherichia coli AW 1.7 were studied.

Towards the Creation of a Nutrition and Food Group Based Image Database [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Food classification is critical to the analysis of nutrients comprising foods reported in dietary assessment. Advances in mobile and wearable sensors, combined with new image based methods, particularly deep learning based approaches, have shown great promise to improve the accuracy of food classification to assess dietary intake.
