The role of the host—Neutrophil biology

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Comparative Analysis of Structural Characterisation and Gel Properties of Blended/Co-Precipitated Soy-Pea Dual-Protein

Foods
This study proposed a pH-driven co-precipitation strategy to overcome the limitations of traditional physical blending in functional improvement of a dual-protein system. The results demonstrated that, in comparison with the soy-pea blended protein (SPBP)

Cold plasma‐induced modifications in the physico‐functional properties of glucan exopolysaccharide derived from Enterococcus hirae OL616073

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract This study evaluated the influence of cold plasma treatment on the physicochemical characteristics of glucan exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by Enterococcus hirae OL616073 isolated from idli batter. The glucan EPS was exposed to pin‐to‐plate atmospheric cold plasma at 170–230 V for 5–15 min, generating cold plasma‐treated glucan (CPTG ...

Harnessing deep learning to quantify microstructural complexity in confocal images of plant protein gels

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding plant protein gel microstructure is key to designing functional food systems. This study introduces a deep learning framework using a U‐Net model with a ResNet34 encoder to segment and quantify confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) images of plant protein gels.

Oleoylethanolamide regulates intestinal stem cell activity and villus size via PPARα signaling pathway

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
First use of a natural swine model with lipid metabolism to directly link lipid differences to a quantifiable intestinal villus height phenotype. Identified the phospholipid‐derived oleoylethanolamide, rather than canonical fatty acids, as the endogenous primary ligand that activates peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptors α (PPARα) to enlarge ...

Gut microbiome‐derived metabolites show promise in cancer research and therapy

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
The metabolites produced by the gut microbiome, which are subject to regulation by multiple factors, play a pivotal role in the progression of various types of cancer. These metabolites not only function as potential biomarkers for the early detection and monitoring of tumor development, but also actively participate in cancer therapeutic processes ...
