Deterioration of willow seeds during storage [PDF]
Willow (Salix spp.) seeds are able to tolerate desiccation, but differ from typical orthodox seeds in that they lose viability in a few days at room temperature, and in that the chloroplasts in embryo tissues do not dedifferentiate during maturation ...

An overview on glycation: molecular mechanisms, impact on proteins, pathogenesis, and inhibition
The formation of a heterogeneous set of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) is the final outcome of a non-enzymatic process that occurs in vivo on long-life biomolecules.

The effects of advanced glycation end‐products on skin and potential anti‐glycation strategies
The advanced glycation end‐products (AGEs) are produced through non‐enzymatic glycation between reducing sugars and free amino groups, such as proteins, lipids or nucleic acids.

Protective role of vitamin B6 (PLP) against DNA damage in Drosophila models of type 2 diabetes [PDF]
Growing evidence shows that improper intake of vitamin B6 increases cancer risk and several studies indicate that diabetic patients have a higher risk of developing tumors.

Glycation changes molecular organization and charge distribution in type I collagen fibrils
Collagen fibrils are central to the molecular organization of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and to defining the cellular microenvironment. Glycation of collagen fibrils is known to impact on cell adhesion and migration in the context of cancer and in ...

Dietary Maillard reaction products: implications for human health and disease [PDF]
When foods are heat processed, the sugars and lipids react with the proteins they contain via the Maillard and related reactions to form a wide range of products.
