Soy-Based Tempeh as a Functional Food: Evidence for Human Health and Future Perspective
Front Biosci (Elite Ed). 2024 Jan 31;16(1):3. doi: 10.31083/j.fbe1601003.ABSTRACTTempeh is an Indonesian traditional food made from fermented soybeans, which offers wide culinary use in East Asian countries. Similar to all fermented foods, its preparation offers the purpose of food preservation. However, preclinical studies have highlighted that microbial action leads to a modification in the nutritional composition of the food's matrix. Although there is a wide availability of data on the beneficial effect of soy, tempeh remains relatively unexplored, perhaps due to its limited diffusion in the world, which limits its res...

Approaches for Producing Fungal Cellulases Through Submerged Fermentation
Front Biosci (Elite Ed). 2024 Jan 31;16(1):5. doi: 10.31083/j.fbe1601005.ABSTRACTFungal cellulases are the most sought-after biological molecules produced from microbial sources in the last four decades. Owing to their emerging applications in the bioenergy industry for hydrolyzing cellulose, for which they are the most abundant source on this planet, research trends are shifting heavily toward adapting to submerged fermentation. However, filamentous fungal species, which are efficient cellulase producers, are well-adapted to low-moisture solid support as the substrate, such as in nature. Therefore, various fermentation st...

Emerging Trends in Wheat ( < em > Triticum < /em > spp.) Breeding: Implications for the Future
Front Biosci (Elite Ed). 2024 Jan 31;16(1):2. doi: 10.31083/j.fbe1601002.ABSTRACTWheat (Triticum spp and, particularly, T. aestivum L.) is an essential cereal with increased human and animal nutritional demand. Therefore, there is a need to enhance wheat yield and genetic gain using modern breeding technologies alongside proven methods to achieve the necessary increases in productivity. These modern technologies will allow breeders to develop improved wheat cultivars more quickly and efficiently. This review aims to highlight the emerging technological trends used worldwide in wheat breeding, with a focus on enhancing whea...

Fluorescence Polarization Assays for Organic Compounds in Food Safety
Front Biosci (Elite Ed). 2024 Jan 31;16(1):4. doi: 10.31083/j.fbe1601004.ABSTRACTElevated concentrations of toxic organic compounds observed in food products pose serious dangers to human health. Both natural and artificial pollutants can cause food contamination. The stages of food production, packaging, transportation, and storage can also largely cause the appearance of undesirable substances in food products. The health consequences of ingesting food containing toxic contaminants range from mild gastroenteritis to deaths resulting from dysfunctional internal organs and neurological syndromes. The World Health Organizat...

miR-215-5p Plays a Key Role in Suppressing Vascular Invasion and Recurrence in Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Blocking Vasculogenic Mimicry
CONCLUSIONS: miR-215-5p expression inversely correlates with VM occurrence in HCC tissues, while ZEB2 expression shows a direct correlation. By targeting ZEB2, miR-215-5p may hinder VM in HCC tissues, helping to prevent vascular invasion and HCC recurrence. Thus, miR-215-5p emerges as a vital prognostic indicator for predicting vascular invasion and recurrence in HCC.PMID:38538524 | DOI:10.31083/j.fbe1601006 (Source: Frontiers in Bioscience - Elite)

Xrn1 Exoribonuclease-An Intrinsic Marker of Yeast Population Growth
CONCLUSIONS: The dynamic changes in the localisation of Xrn1 can be a versatile tool for monitoring the growth of yeast populations at the single-cell level. Simultaneously, Xrn1 localisation outside of P-bodies in post-diauxic cells supports its storage and cytoprotective function, yet the role of P-bodies in cell metabolism has still not yet been entirely elucidated.PMID:38538525 | DOI:10.31083/j.fbe1601001 (Source: Frontiers in Bioscience - Elite)

Fermentation Technology and Functional Foods
Front Biosci (Elite Ed). 2024 Mar 11;16(1):8. doi: 10.31083/j.fbe1601008.ABSTRACTFood is an integral part of our civilization. It is a cultural phenomenon that, while having evolved, is associated with societal traditions and identity. This work analyzes studies conducted to highlight the health properties of the most common ethnic foods. Although these foods were originally created from the need to preserve perishable produce, presently, we know that the fermentation process makes them nutritionally more complete. The basis of these transformations lies in that vast range of prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms that,...

Molecular Insights into Plant-Microbe Interactions: A Comprehensive Review of Key Mechanisms
Front Biosci (Elite Ed). 2024 Mar 12;16(1):9. doi: 10.31083/j.fbe1601009.ABSTRACTIn most ecosystems, plants establish complex symbiotic relationships with organisms, such as bacteria and fungi, which significantly influence their health by promoting or inhibiting growth. These relationships involve biochemical exchanges at the cellular level that affect plant physiology and have evolutionary implications, such as species diversification, horizontal gene transfer, symbiosis and mutualism, environmental adaptation, and positive impacts on community structure and biodiversity. For these reasons, contemporary research, moving ...
