Clinical Manifestations.

Background: Hispanics are disproportionately affected by Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) when compared to non-Hispanic Whites (NHW). Previous studies have shown that neuropsychiatric symptoms can further exacerbate clinical functioning among ADRD patients, leading to increase in caregiver burden and poorer quality of life. However, most studies in this area have focused on predominately Caucasian samples, and relationships between emotional and clinical functioning among Hispanic older adults at risk of ADRD are poorly understood.

Copper and Silver Trispyrazolylborate-Phosphinoazide Complexes: Synthesis, Characterization, and Nitrene Generation.

Phosphinoazide complexes of the composition TpM-L (M = Cu, Ag, and L = 2-azido-1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-2,3-dihydro-1-1,3,2-diazaphosphole) have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Their thermal decomposition led to cyclodiphosphazenes as a result of the metal-mediated coupling of two nitrene units in a process that takes place in both a stoichiometric and catalytic manner. Experimental data have allowed proposing a mechanistic pathway for this new transformation.

Multitarget Peptides Released by In Vitro Static Gastrointestinal Digestion of an Amaranth Protein Beverage.

Beverages formulated from alternative proteins, such as amaranth, are gaining attraction due to changes in human dietary patterns and environmental concerns like resource use and biodiversity loss. This study focuses on assessing the bioactive peptide release from an amaranth protein beverage. This beverage was subjected to a static simulated gastrointestinal digestion (SGD) protocol to evaluate its bioaccessibility and functional potential.

Untargeted metabolomics to relate changes produced by biocontrol agents against Aspergillus westerdijkiae and Penicillium nordicum in vitro on dry-cured ham.

Dry-cured ham is a highly appreciated meat product. During the ripening, moulds grow on its surface such as Penicillium nordicum and Aspergillus westerdijkiae producers of ochratoxin A (OTA). This mycotoxin poses a risk to consumers that must be controlled.

FGFR2-RUNX2 activation: An unexplored therapeutic pathway in luminal breast cancer related to tumor progression.

Overcoming luminal breast cancer (BrCa) progression remains a critical challenge for improved overall patient survival. RUNX2 has emerged as a protein related to aggressiveness in triple-negative BrCa, however its role in luminal tumors remains elusive. We have previously shown that active FGFR2 (FGFR2-CA) contributes to increased tumor growth and that RUNX2 expression was high in hormone-independent mouse mammary carcinomas.
