Xanthan- and Rice Cereal-Based Thickeners in Infants: A Multidisciplinary Single-Center Experience.

Unlabelled: Some infants aspirate thin liquids and must be fed thickened liquids in order to protect the lungs. However, thickeners have not been fully studied for safety. Xanthan-based thickeners have been implicated in the development of necrotizing enterocolitis and rice cereal-based thickeners have been associated with constipation and excessive weight gain.

The plant-based by-product diets for the mass-rearing of Acheta domesticus and Gryllus bimaculatus.

Edible insect rearing could provide one alternative for protein production by having a smaller environmental impact than traditional livestock farming due to insects' ability to convert organic side streams. Currently, the insect rearing industry utilizes soybeans as a major source of protein in the feeds. Protein-rich by-products of food industry could be used to replace them in insect feeds, but it is not known if they also meet the insects' nutritional requirements.

Doubles game: Src-Stat3 versus p53-PTEN in cellular migration and invasion.

We have recently shown that Src induces the formation of podosomes and cell invasion by suppressing endogenous p53, while enhanced p53 strongly represses the Src-induced invasive phenotype. However, the mechanism by which Src and p53 play antagonistic roles in cell invasion is unknown. Here we show that the Stat3 oncogene is a required downstream effector of Src in inducing podosome structures and related invasive phenotypes.

p53 suppresses Src-induced podosome and rosette formation and cellular invasiveness through the upregulation of caldesmon.

The tumor-suppressive role of p53 at the level of tumor initiation is well documented. It has also been shown previously that p53 acts against tumor progression/metastasis. However, its role in modulating cell migration and invasion leading to metastasis is poorly understood.
