Carbon source-sink limitations differ between two Species with Contrasting Growth Strategies. [PDF]

, 2016
Understanding how carbon source and sink strengths limit plant growth is a critical knowledge gap that hinders efforts to maximise crop yield. We investigated how differences in growth rate arise from source-sink limitations, using a model system ...

The Prebiotic and Techno‐Functional Potential of Microbial Exopolysaccharides for Human Health and Food Systems

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Microbial exopolysaccharides (EPS) represent a diverse class of biopolymers holding considerable promise as functional food ingredients. This review analyzes the dual function of microbial EPS as a candidate for prebiotic agents and techno‐functional additives.

Separating Myths From Facts About Bread and Health

Nutrition Bulletin, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 148-158, March 2026.
ABSTRACT White bread remains a staple food in many countries and global consumption continues to increase. However, there is an increasingly contentious debate, carried out particularly in social media and the popular press, about the adverse effects on health of factory‐produced sliced white bread as opposed to the whole grain breads made with ...

Comparative prebiotic activity of mixtures of cereal grain polysaccharides [PDF]

, 2019
The main components of the non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) fraction of wheat flour are arabinoxylan (AX) and β-glucan. These are also present in other cereal grains, but their proportions vary with AX being the major component in wheat and rye and β ...

Evaluation of the Therapeutic Potential of Bioactive Materials Based on a Complex of Oxidovanadium(IV) and Exopolysaccharide Levan in a Model of Insulin Resistance in Mice

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 4, 25 February 2026.
A low‐toxicity bioactive composition of oxidovanadium(IV) and exopolysaccharide levan is synthesized, characterized, and shown to reduce hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and TyG index in a mice model of dexamethasone‐induced insulin resistance. Bioactive compositions containing vanadium complexes have been a viable strategy for constructing more ...

Modulating the Gut Microbiome as a Therapeutic Approach in Multiple Sclerosis: Implications for Gut‐Brain Interactions and Immune Pathways: A Narrative Review

Brain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
The gut microbiome in multiple sclerosis (MS) shows consistent depletion of short‐chain fatty acid (SCFA)‐producing bacteria, expansion of pro‐inflammatory species, and reduced levels of butyrate, propionate, and indole metabolites. These alterations increase intestinal permeability, disrupt immune balance, and contribute to blood–brain barrier ...
