A portable smartphone-based imaging surface plasmon resonance biosensor for allergen detection in plant-based milks
Talanta. 2023 Feb 20;257:124366. doi: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.124366. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFood allergies are hypersensitivity immune responses triggered by (traces of) allergenic compounds in foods and drinks. The recent trend towards plant-based and lactose-free diets has driven an increased consumption of plant-based milks (PBMs) with the risk of cross-contamination of various allergenic plant-based proteins during the food manufacturing process. Conventional allergen screening is usually performed in the laboratory, but portable biosensors for on-site screening of food allergens at the production site could imp...

Epigenetic-based antioxidant effect of an ethanolic extract of < em > Corylus avellana L < /em > . on THLE-2 human primary hepatocytes
Nat Prod Res. 2023 Feb 3:1-7. doi: 10.1080/14786419.2023.2174537. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe ethanolic extract of Corylus avellana L hazelnut, prepared in our laboratories, has been previously characterized by liquid chromatography coupled to high resolution mass spectrometry. We here aimed at testing the antioxidant effect of such extract in H2O2-challenged THLE-2 human primary hepatocytes and verified whether it might be based on microRNA-34b/c expression changes. We here demonstrate that miR-34b/miR-34c undergo significant stimulation (≥2-fold change, p < 0.05) in THLE-2 when treated for 72h with not-toxic h...

Production of novel hazelnut shell-based semi-IPN biocomposite absorbents and their use in removing heavy metal ions from water
In this study, a hazelnut shell (HS) filled semi-interpenetrating polymer networks (semi-IPN) biocomposite adsorbent with novel and different compositions was developed that will enable the removal of lead ions, which are commonly found in water, by adsorption reactions. The structural and morphological properties of the produced adsorbents were characterized by FT-IR, XRD, TGA, DSC, BET, FE-SEM, EDX, and zeta potential measurements, and the production mechanism of these adsorbents was discussed. The effects of parameters such as different adsorbent dosages, different heavy metal concentrations, type of adsorbent, contact ...

CXCR4 as possible druggable target linking inflammatory bowel disease and Parkinson's disease
AbstractParkinson ’s disease (PD) is a chronic, progressive, and second most prevalent neurological disorder affecting the motor system. It has been found that people suffering with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are at 22% more risk for PD. In the current study, we have established a molecular link between gut a nd brain. The microarray gene expression datasets of Homo sapiens were obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus Database. Major genes involved in gut-brain connection were found to be CXCR4, LRRK2, APOE, SNCA, IL6, HIF-1α, ABCA1 etc. The common biological pathways linking both the pathologies were fou nd to be H...
