Methodological examination of the 2018 World Cancer Research Fund/American Institute for Cancer Research (WCRF/AICR) Score
The objective of this study was to examine the impact of methodological changes to the 2018 World Cancer Research Fund/American Institute for Cancer Research (WCRF/AICR) Score on associations with risk for all-cause mortality, cancer mortality, and cancer risk jointly among older adults in the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study. Weights were incorporated for each Score component; a continuous point scale was developed in place of the Score's fully discrete cut-points; and cut-point values were changed for physical activity and red meat based on evidence-based recommendations. Exploratory aims also examined the impact of separa...

Glutenin-chitosan 3D porous scaffolds with tunable stiffness and systematized microstructure for cultured meat model
Int J Biol Macromol. 2024 Apr 6:131438. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131438. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA glutenin (G)-chitosan (CS) complex (G-CS) was cross-linked by water annealing with aim to prepare structured 3D porous cultured meat scaffolds (CMS) here. The CMS has pore diameters ranging from 18 to 67 μm and compressive moduli from 16.09 to 60.35 kPa, along with the mixing ratio of G/CS. SEM showed the porous organized structure of CMS. FTIR and CD showed the increscent content of α-helix and β-sheet of G and strengthened hydrogen-bondings among G-CS molecules, which strengthened the stiffness of G-CS. Raman s...

A novel QTL region for pH and meat color in Duroc pigs
Anim Genet. 2024 Apr 7. doi: 10.1111/age.13426. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOne of the most important processes that occur during the transformation of muscle to meat is the pH decline as a consequence of the post-mortem metabolism of muscle tissue. Abnormal pH declines lead to pork defects such as pale, soft, and exudative meat. There is genetic variance for ultimate pH and the role of some genes on this phenotype is well established. After conducting a genome-wide association study on ultimate pH using 526 purebred Duroc pigs, we identified associated regions on Sus scrofa chromosomes (SSC) 3, 8, and 15. Functional can...

Green manufacturing of a hypoxanthine enzyme sensor for fish freshness based on modified nitrocellulose surface with chito-oligosaccharide
Talanta. 2024 Mar 30;274:126007. doi: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126007. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHypoxanthine (Hx), produced by adenosine triphosphate (ATP) metabolism, is a valuable indicator that determines the quality and degradation status of meat products and is also an important biochemical marker to certain diseases such as gout. The rapid emergence of paper-based enzyme biosensors has already revolutionized its on-site determination. But it is still limited by the complex patterning and fabrication, unstable enzyme and uneven coloration. This work aims to develop an eco-friendly method to construct engineered pap...

Large-scale genome-wide SNP analysis reveals the rugged (and ragged) landscape of global ancestry, phylogeny, and demographic history in chicken breeds
This study was a large-scale genome-wide analysis of the landscape of the complex molecular architecture, genetic variability, and detailed structure among 49 populations. These populations represent a significant sample of the world's chicken breeds from Europe (Russia, Czech Republic, France, Spain, UK, etc.), Asia (China), North America (USA), and Oceania (Australia). Based on the results of breed genotyping using the Illumina 60K single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) chip, a bioinformatic analysis was carried out. This included the calculation of heterozygosity/homozygosity statistics, inbreeding coefficients, and effec...
