Drosophila carboxypeptidase D (SILVER) is a key enzyme in neuropeptide processing required to maintain locomotor activity levels and survival rate

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 50, Issue 9, Page 3502-3519, November 2019., 2019
While the mouse uses carboxypeptidase E (CPE) over CPD in peptide processing, the Drosophila genome encodes only for a dCPD (silver) but not for a dCPE. Using peptidomics, we show that dCPD is indeed a key enzyme in neuropeptide processing. Mutating silver affects behaviour and survival.

Relationship and Source of Whitings Used as a Painting Ground in Icons From Polish Museum Collections Based on Their Calcareous Nannofossil Content

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 1, Page 132-143, February 2026.
ABSTRACT In icon painting, chalk whiting is key to creating a gesso ground, providing a smooth, absorbent surface for paint. Calcareous nannofossils, tiny marine skeletons found in chalk, are an ideal tool for analyzing the origin of an icon's chalk ground, often the only reliable information about where the icon came from.

Re‐evaluation of potassium nitrite (E 249) and sodium nitrite (E 250) as food additives

EFSA Journal, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2017., 2017
Abstract The Panel on Food Additives and Nutrient Sources added to Food (ANS) provided a scientific opinion re‐evaluating the safety of potassium nitrite (E 249) and sodium nitrite (E 250) when used as food additives. The ADIs established by the SCF () and by JECFA () for nitrite were 0–0.06 and 0–0.07 mg/kg bw per day, respectively.

Re‐evaluation of sodium nitrate (E 251) and potassium nitrate (E 252) as food additives

EFSA Journal, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2017., 2017
Abstract The Panel on Food Additives and Nutrient Sources added to Food (ANS) provided a scientific opinion re‐evaluating the safety of sodium nitrate (E 251) and potassium nitrate (E 252) when used as food additives. The current acceptable daily intakes (ADIs) for nitrate of 3.7 mg/kg body weight (bw) per day were established by the SCF (1997) and ...
