Article Synopsis
- Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a highly lethal cancer due to late detection and ineffective treatments, highlighting the urgent need for better diagnostics and new therapeutic targets.
- Research on the IL6 gene showed that its expression is significantly higher in ESCC tumors compared to non-tumoral surrounding tissue, indicating its potential role in cancer development.
- The study suggests that therapies targeting IL6 could be beneficial for ESCC treatment, and it identifies the mRNA expression levels as a promising biomarker for early detection of the disease.*
Background: Spirulina microalgae have been added to food; however, there have been few reports on the methods used to protect the antioxidant potential against process conditions, and the effects on the sensory characteristics of products need to be better described. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence on the technological properties, sensory profile, and acceptability of the pasta with free or microencapsulated Spirulina biomass added. Pasta formulations included: free Spirulina (FSP), microencapsulated Spirulina (MSP), and empty microspheres (EMP), which were compared with the control pasta (CP).
