A preliminary exploration of the synergistic preservation effect of electrostatic field and superchilling on muscle foods: Mechanisms, influencing factors, applications, and challenges.

Muscle foods that are highly perishable require effective preservation technologies to maintain their quality and extend their shelf life. Electrostatic field (EF) treatment, superchilling (SC), and their combined technologies have received attention for their effectiveness in improving muscle food quality. However, the lack of a comprehensive understanding of their mechanism and combined effects on muscle foods has limited their application.

Temperature perception by ER UPR promotes preventive innate immunity and longevity.

Microbial infectivity increases with rising environmental temperature, heightening the risk of infection to host organisms. The host's basal immunity is activated accordingly to mitigate upcoming pathogenic threats; still, how animals sense temperature elevation to adjust their preventive immune response remains elusive. This study reports that high temperature enhances innate immunity differently from pathogen infection.

The influence of aging and the microbiome in multiple sclerosis and other neurologic diseases.

The human gut microbiome is well-recognized as a key player in maintaining health. However, it is a dynamic entity that changes across the lifespan. How the microbial changes that occur in later decades of life shape host health or impact age-associated inflammatory neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS) is still unclear.

The impact of macro- and micro-steatosis on the outcomes of patients who undergo liver transplant: Analysis of the UNOS-STAR database.

Background And Aims: The presence of steatosis in a donor liver and its relation to post-transplantation outcomes are not well defined. This study evaluates the effect of the presence and severity of micro- and macro-steatosis of a donor graft on post-transplantation outcomes.

Methods: The UNOS-STAR registry (2005-2019) was used to select patients who received a liver transplant graft with hepatic steatosis.
