The milk metabolome and its potential utilisation for enhanced dairy processing

open access: yesInternational Journal of Dairy Technology, Volume 78, Issue 3, July–September 2025.
The milk metabolome can be affected by a variety of different intrinsic and extrinsic factors, which can subsequently affect important parameters of milk quality and processability. This review explores this relationship and provides an overview of the topic of milk metabolomics as an ever‐evolving field of study.

Analysis of Interactions Between Pyomelanin and the Extracellular Matrix in an Ex Vivo Turkey Tendon Model

open access: yesChemistryOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2025.
Polymerization of homogentisic acid in the presence of extracellular matrix (ECM) components (an ex vivo turkey tendon model) yields simplified versions of biologically generated melanins in the ECM, facilitating studies of melanin–ECM interactions. A variety of techniques (X‐ray diffraction, microscopy, and spectroscopy) were employed to understand ...

An anatomical investigation of alkaptonuria: Novel insights into ochronosis of cartilage and bone

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 246, Issue 6, Page 1053-1074, June 2025.
Examination of an alkaptonuria body highlights the susceptibility of all cartilage types and associated perichondrium to ochronotic pigmentation and the heterogeneity of ochronotic pigment distribution both within and between tissues. In joints, calcified cartilage pigments before non‐calcified cartilage.

Diagnosis of Inherited Metabolic Disease in Older Patients: A Systematic Literature Review

open access: yesJournal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 48, Issue 3, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Inherited metabolic diseases (IMDs) are genetic disorders that disrupt biochemical processes in the human body, due to pathogenic variants in genes encoding enzymes or transporters. While IMDs are mostly diagnosed in infancy or childhood, there is an increasing number of diagnoses in adult patients.

Ochronotic arthropathy: skeletal manifestations and orthopaedic treatment

open access: yesEFORT Open Reviews
Alkaptonuria is an extremely rare disorder of tyrosine metabolism caused by an autosomal recessive enzymatic deficiency of homogentisic acid (HGA) oxidase, causing its accumulation in collagenous structures, especially in hyaline cartilage.

Alkaptonuria: A case report

open access: yesIndian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2017
Alkaptonuria is a rare inborn error of metabolism with autosomal recessive inheritance with a mutation in homogentisate 1,2-dioxygenase. It results in accumulation of homogentisic acid in connective tissues (ochronosis). Most common ocular manifestations
