Forecasting Root Rot Disease through Predictive Microbial Functional Profiling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Predicting soil‐borne disease moves beyond observation with a framework that elevates microbial functional genes into reliable forecasting biomarkers. By coupling targeted qPCR assays for core stress‐response genes with machine learning, this method detects root rot risks in pre‐symptomatic soils with over 80% accuracy.

Relationships among tissues, biofluids, and otolith selenium concentrations in wild female burbot (Lota lota)

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract In the Lake Koocanusa‐Kootenai River system (Montana, USA and British Columbia, Canada), selenium (Se) contamination has become an international concern and is suspected to contribute to the observed burbot (Lota lota) population collapse. Due to our limited ability to sample burbot in Lake Koocanusa for monitoring studies, we used a reference

Gel‐Amin for Improving Extracellular Recordings of Cardiomyocytes in a 3D Microphysiological System

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
This work combines a conductive collagen‐based hydrogel with a laser‐cut and assembly technique to fabricate microphysiological systems that improve extracellular recordings of cardiomyocytes in 3D on microelectrode arrays. The inclusion of choline acrylate into GelMA imparts a higher electrical conductivity and improves the signal‐to‐noise ratio of on‐

Efficacy of long-term oral nutritional supplementation with dietary counseling on growth, body composition and bone mineralization in children with or at risk for undernutrition: a randomized controlled trial

Nutrition Journal
Background Impaired growth, accompanied by low lean mass and poor bone mineralization in undernourished children, is linked to adverse short- and long-term health outcomes. Oral nutritional supplements (ONS) promote catch-up growth, but their efficacy in

Multisectoral Convergence of Food, Nutrition and Sanitation Programs for Child Health: Evidence From Country‐Level Programs in India

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper underscores the critical role of multisectoral convergence in enhancing child health, particularly in addressing anemia, a micronutrient deficiency linked to both diet and sanitation. We explore how the integration of nationwide food and nutrition programs with sanitation initiatives impacts anemia in Indian children under three ...

Development, Nutritional Evaluation, and Shelf‐Life Study of a Jackfruit‐Based Meat Analogue Enriched With Legumes and Spirulina

AgriFood: Journal of Agricultural Products for Food, EarlyView.
A jackfruit‐based meat analog enriched with legumes and spirulina was developed, optimized, and evaluated for sensory, nutritional, and shelf‐life qualities. The best formulation offered superior taste, texture, nutrient density, and maintained safety and quality for up to 60 days under frozen storage. ABSTRACT This study focuses on the development and
