Crossmodal plasticity in sensory loss
In this review, we describe crossmodal plasticity following sensory loss in three parts, with each section focusing on one sensory system. We summarize a wide range of studies showing that sensory loss may lead, depending of the affected sensory system, to functional changes in other, primarily not affected senses, which range from heightened to ...

The effect of internal and external roasting temperatures on pork sensory properties, physical measurements and consumer liking : a thesis presented in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Technology (Food Technology) at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
The objectives of this research were twofold. Initially it was to quantify the effects of external (roasting) temperature and meat internal (end-point) temperature on the sensory and physical characteristics of selected cuts of pork.

Dietary Protein Intake and Peritoneal Protein Losses in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients lose protein in their waste dialysate, potentially increasing their risk for malnutrition. We wished to determine whether there was any association between losses and dietary protein intake (DPI). Methods DPI was assessed from 24‐h dietary recall using Nutrics software.

Sensory Reweighting for Postural Control in Older Adults with Age-Related Hearing Loss
There is growing evidence linking hearing impairments and the deterioration of postural stability in older adults. To our knowledge, however, no study to date has investigated the effect of age-related hearing loss on the sensory reweighting process ...

ELP1 Splicing Correction Reverses Proprioceptive Sensory Loss in Familial Dysautonomia.
Familial dysautonomia (FD) is a recessive neurodegenerative disease caused by a splice mutation in Elongator complex protein 1 (ELP1, also known as IKBKAP); this mutation leads to variable skipping of exon 20 and to a drastic reduction of ELP1 in the ...

Revealing the structure of land plant photosystem II: the journey from negative‐stain EM to cryo‐EM
Advances in cryo‐EM have revealed the detailed structure of Photosystem II, a key protein complex driving photosynthesis. This review traces the journey from early low‐resolution images to high‐resolution models, highlighting how these discoveries deepen our understanding of light harvesting and energy conversion in plants.
