Hematopoietic (stem) cells—The elixir of life?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The aging of HSCs (hematopoietic stem cells) and the blood system leads to the decline of other organs. Rejuvenating aged HSCs improves the function of the blood system, slowing the aging of the heart, kidney, brain, and liver, and the occurrence of age‐related diseases.

Reaching last mile consumers: how mobile traders facilitate stable access to nutritious foods

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
Food and nutrition security has grown from just the availability, accessibility, and utilization of food, to include the stability of access, the agency of people, and the sustainability of the food system overall.

Interactions between Food Environment and (Un)healthy Consumption: Evidence along a Rural-Urban Transect in Viet Nam

Agriculture, 2021
There is limited evidence on food environment in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) and the application of food environment frameworks and associated metrics in such settings. Our study examines how food environment varies across an urban-peri-urban-

Nutrition and the Food Supply: Controversies and Prospects

The American Biology Teacher, 1976
THERE SEEM TO BE two opposing views on the question of supplying people with food. The first cites the example of Bangladesh and other countries where starvation seems inevitable, and states that it is useless or even counterproductive to prevent people in such countries from starving.

The role and implications of mammalian cellular circadian entrainment

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
At their most fundamental level, mammalian circadian rhythms occur inside every individual cell. To tell the correct time, cells must align (or ‘entrain’) their circadian rhythm to the external environment. In this review, we highlight how cells entrain to the major circadian cues of light, feeding and temperature, and the implications this has for our

Completeness of nutrient declarations and the average nutritional composition of pre-packaged foods in Beijing, China

Preventive Medicine Reports, 2016
Increasing consumption of pre-packaged foods is likely an important driver of diet-related diseases in China. From January 2013 it became mandatory to provide a standardised nutrient declaration on pre-packaged foods in China.

The competence of street food vendors to provide nutritious and safe food to consumers: a cross-sectional survey among street food vendors in Northern Ghana

Journal of Nutritional Science, 2023
Increasingly most people have their meals outside their homes and are vulnerable to illnesses caused by unsafe foods. Unsafe food preparation and supply by vendors have made food safety a concern for public health.

Food safety and nutrition for low-income urbanites: exploring a social justice dilemma in consumption policy

Regional Environmental Change, 2019
Equitable access to healthy food is a critical challenge in urban Asia. Food safety governance promotes modern supermarkets over more traditional markets, but supermarkets are associated with unequal access to food.

Molecular bases of circadian magnesium rhythms across eukaryotes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Circadian rhythms in intracellular [Mg2+] exist across eukaryotic kingdoms. Central roles for Mg2+ in metabolism suggest that Mg2+ rhythms could regulate daily cellular energy and metabolism. In this Perspective paper, we propose that ancestral prokaryotic transport proteins could be responsible for mediating Mg2+ rhythms and posit a feedback model ...
