Introduction: Personalised prevention offers a promising tool to reduce the impact of non-communicable diseases, which represent a growing health burden worldwide. However, to support the adoption of this innovation it is needed to clarify the current state of available evidence in this area. This work aims to provide an overview of recent publications on personalised prevention for chronic conditions.

Whey protein phospholipid concentrate (WPPC) is a co-product generated during the manufacture of whey protein isolate. WPPC is depleted of simple sugars but contains numerous glycoconjugates embedded in the milk fat globule membrane, suggesting this fraction may serve as a carbon source for growth of bifidobacteria commonly enriched in breast fed infants. In this work, we demonstrate that WPPC can serve as a sole carbon source for the growth of Bifidobacterium bifidum, a species common to the breastfed infant and routinely used as a probiotic.

This research investigates the eco-friendly production of iron oxide nanoparticles and their combination with carbon to create the FeC-1and FeC-2 NPs, using seedless pods of Acacia nilotica. These pods, rich in tannins and flavonoids, serve as a natural reducing, stabilizing, and carbon source. The study details the synthesis of FeC NPs through a non-toxic, green method and examines the influence of varying concentrations of Acacia nilotica extract (ANE) on the electrochemical characteristics of the resulting n FeC-1and FeC-2 electrodes.
