Lifespan Extension and Motor Function Improvement Effects of Whale Meat Extract in .

The average life expectancy is increasing worldwide, but the same cannot be said for a healthy life expectancy (defined as the period during which a person can live a healthy and independent life). Therefore, a major challenge is how to extend healthy life expectancy. One option is to reduce age-related muscle atrophy (sarcopenia) and cognitive decline.

At2-MMP Is Required for Attenuation of Cell Proliferation during Wound Healing in Incised Arabidopsis Inflorescence Stems.

Wound healing of partially incised Arabidopsis inflorescence stems constitutes cell proliferation that initiates mainly in pith tissues about 3 d after incision and the healing process that completes in about 7 d. Although the initiation mechanisms of cell proliferation have been well documented, the suppression mechanisms remain elusive. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are zinc-dependent endopeptidases well known as proteolytic enzymes in animal system functioning in extracellular matrix remodeling during physiological and pathological processes, including tissue differentiation, growth, defense, wound healing and control of cancer growth.

Low public awareness opens up new opportunities for highlighting milk as an iodine dietary source.

This international survey provides insights into public awareness of the importance of iodine as an essential trace mineral in human health along with knowledge of iodine dietary sources. The online questionnaire included sociodemographic aspects and dietary iodine consumer awareness on 7-point Likert-type questions. A total of 4,704 questionnaires from 16 countries were considered.

DNA Microarray and Bioinformatic Analysis Reveals the Potential of Whale Oil in Enhancing Hair Growth in a C57BL/6 Mice Dorsal Skin Model.

Much research has been conducted to determine how hair regeneration is regulated, as this could provide therapeutic, cosmetic, and even psychological interventions for hair loss. The current study focused on the hair growth effect and effective utilization of fatty oil obtained from Bryde's whales through a high-throughput DNA microarray approach in conjunction with immunohistochemical observations. The research also examined the mechanisms and factors involved in hair growth.

Food waste-based bio-fertilizers production by bio-based fermenters and their potential impact on the environment.

Increasing food waste is creating a global waste (and management) crisis. Globally, ∼1.6 billion tons of food is wasted annually, worth ∼$1.
