Biofortification: way forward toward micronutrient deficiency

EQA, 2021
Half of the World’s people are being affected by micronutrient-deficiencies. Mostly in developing countries, the human development, along with economic development are hindered by malnutrition.

Morphological and Physiological Responses to Short-Term Micronutrient Deficiency in the Root of Two Citrus Rootstocks

International Journal of Fruit Science
Citrus production is highly vulnerable to micronutrient deficiencies. To understand these effects, this study investigated how short-term deficiencies of iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), boron (B), zinc (Zn), and copper (Cu) influence root morphology and ...

Does the high dietary diversity score predict dietary micronutrients adequacy in children under 5 years old? A systematic review

Journal of Health, Population and Nutrition, 2023
Backgrounds Undiversified and monotonous diets can lead to deficiency disease, named micronutrient deficiency, more specifically among young children. Dietary diversity (DD) has been known as a valid indicator to assess micronutrient inadequacy of the ...

Spatial Distribution Characteristics of Micronutrients and Their Deficiency Effect on the Root Morphology and Architecture in Citrus Rootstock

Plants
Roots play essential roles in the acquisition of water and minerals from soils in higher plants. However, water or nutrient limitation can alter plant root morphology.

Age- and sex-matched comparison of diet quality in patients with heart failure to similarly aged healthy older adults

Journal of Nutritional Science, 2021
The aims of this study were to (1) compare diet quality between patients with heart failure (HF) and age- and sex-matched community-dwelling healthy older adults and (2) determine whether having HF was associated with a lower Healthy Eating Index-2015 ...

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
BtuG proteins are vitamin B12 scavengers in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a dominant human gut bacterium. We present crystal structures of three BtuG homologs bound to cobalamin and its precursor cobinamide, revealing picomolar binding affinities, among the highest known for any natural protein.

Gastric and intestinal barrier impairment in tropical enteropathy and HIV: limited impact of micronutrient supplementation during a randomised controlled trial [PDF]

, 2010
Background Although micronutrient supplementation can reduce morbidity and mortality due to diarrhoea, nutritional influences on intestinal host defence are poorly understood.

Metastatic niche shaped by host factors influences disseminated cancer cell fate

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Metastasis is shaped not only by cancer cells but also by the environments they encounter. This review explores how factors such as aging, diet, the microbiome, lifestyle, and environmental exposures remodel organ‐specific niches in the lung, liver, bone, and brain, influencing where metastatic cells survive, remain dormant, or grow, and ultimately ...

Sudden anaerobization in Amphibacillus xylanus increases intracellular labile ferrous iron and inhibits cell growth

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Abruptly changing from aerobic to anaerobic conditions (sudden anaerobization) induced growth inhibition and a significant increase in intracellular labile ferrous iron in the aerotolerant anaerobe Amphibacillus xylanus. We found that free flavins mediate efficient electron transfer from NADH to ferric iron under anaerobic conditions, suggesting that ...
