Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

open access: yesFEBS 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

Bioavailability of vitamins C, B2 and B9 (Folate) in nutrition and health claims: a critical appraisal

open access: yesFood Production, Processing and Nutrition
Fruits and vegetables are rich in compounds with health-promoting effects, such as vitamins. Nevertheless, no previous research has simultaneously considered the factors affecting vitamins’ bioavailability, namely the actual amount absorbed and the ...

A systematic review, and meta-analyses, of the impact of health-related claims on dietary choices

open access: yesInternational Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, 2017
Background Health-related claims are statements regarding the nutritional content of a food (nutrition claims) and/or indicate that a relationship exists between a food and a health outcome (health claims).

Wholegrain health claims in Europe [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Nutrition Society, 2003
Wholegrain foods are important sources of nutrients and phyto-protective components, which are in short supply in many member states of the EU, including the UK. Encouraging the public to increase consumption of whole-grain foods is a positive health message that has critical public health implications.

Readiness of Ghanaian health facilities to deploy a health insurance claims management software (CLAIM-it)

open access: yesPLOS ONE, 2022
Introduction Inadequate, inefficient and slow processing of claims are major contributors to the cost of health insurance schemes, and therefore undermining their sustainability. This study uses the Technology, Organisation and Environment (TOE) framework to examine the preparedness of health facilities of the Christian Health Association of Ghana ...

From junk to function — How weak selection in eukaryotes builds new parts and drives genomic complexity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...
