Milk: Nature's Unique Nutritional Package
Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Plant‐based beverages that attempt to mimic milk are increasingly popular with consumers, but there are profound differences in nutritional composition and microstructure compared to milk. A structural nutrition approach is needed to understand the effect on digestibility of microstructures, bioaccessibility and bioavailability of components ...

Evolution at the Origins of Life?
LifeThe role of evolutionary theory at the origin of life is an extensively debated topic. The origin and early development of life is usually separated into a prebiotic phase and a protocellular phase, ultimately leading to the Last Universal Common ...

Searching for lost nucleotides of the pre-RNA World with a self-refining model of early Earth
Nature Communications, 2018 The nucleotides of RNA appear to be products of evolution. Experimental studies are showing that plausible proto-nucleotides can be formed in simulated early Earth environments.

Heat Stress in Quail: Impacts on Health and Productivity, and Mitigation Strategies
Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.Heat stress disrupts physiological homeostasis in quail, inducing oxidative stress, immune dysregulation, and metabolic imbalance, which impair growth, reproduction, product quality, and welfare. Integrating nutritional, environmental, and genetic–epigenetic strategies enhances thermotolerance, sustains productivity, and supports climate‐smart quail ...

Fundamental Molecules of Life are Pigments which Arose and Evolved to Dissipate the Solar Spectrum
, 2014 The driving force behind the origin and evolution of life has been the thermodynamic imperative of increasing the entropy production of the biosphere through increasing the global solar photon dissipation rate.

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.Our paper systematically reviews the intestinal structure, function, and microbiota of ostriches, along with strategies for improving their gut health. We analyze how these factors collectively influence intestinal homeostasis and ostrich welfare, emphasizing probiotics as a promising intervention to enhance gut health, boost population well‐being, and

A prebiotic template-directed peptide synthesis based on amyloids
Nature Communications, 2018 Amyloids may have played an important role in prebiotic molecular evolution but understanding replication of such information-coding molecules is still a problem.

Length and sequence relaxation of copolymers under recombination reactions
, 2017 We describe the kinetics and thermodynamics of copolymers undergoing recombination reactions, which are important for prebiotic chemistry. We use two approaches: the first one, based on chemical rate equations and the mass-action law describes the ...

Chemical evolution in space — A source of prebiotic molecules
Advances in Space Research, 1983 In Laboratory Astrophysics at Leiden University a laboratory analog for following the chemical evolution of interstellar dust in space shows that the dust contains the bulk of organic material in the universe. We follow the photoprocessing of low temperature (10 K) mixtures of ices subjected to vacuum ultraviolet radiation in simulation of interstellar
