This study examines the variability of sialic acids, specifically N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) and N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc), in beef from seven cattle breeds (Holstein Friesian, Red Pied, Maremmana, Chianina, Charolais, Limousin, and Piemontese). Neu5Gc, a non-human sialic acid linked to inflammation and disease risk, showed significant breed differences ( < 0.001), with the highest concentration in Holstein Friesian (61.

This study evaluated the efficacy of an active absorbent pad (PAD) in reducing microbial growth and enhancing the shelf life of rabbit meat stored in modified atmosphere packaging (MAP). Thigh muscles from 60 rabbits were used, divided into three dietary groups: a control group (CNT), a group supplemented with 5% extruded flaxseed (ELS5%), and a group with 3.5% extruded flaxseed and 0.

This study investigated the effects of dietary supplementation with extruded linseed (ELS) and algae extract (PP) on rabbit carcass and meat quality. Ninety-six rabbit carcasses from two production cycles were analyzed. In the first cycle (C1), rabbits were fed a control diet (1CNT), the same diet supplemented with 5% ELS (1ELS5%), and supplemented with 3.

The limitations of two-dimensional (2D) models in cancer research have hindered progress in fully understanding the complexities of drug resistance and therapeutic failures. However, three-dimensional (3D) models provide a more accurate representation of environments, capturing critical cellular interactions and dynamics that are essential in evaluating the efficacy and toxicity of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). These advanced models enable researchers to explore drug resistance mechanisms with greater precision, optimizing treatment strategies and improving the predictive accuracy of clinical outcomes.

Food quality is a crucial issue for producers and consumers, either dealing with commodities according to basic standards or with top quality products. Among the parameters contributing to quality, the place of origin is considered to be one of the most relevant, especially for protected denomination of origin and protected geographical indication foods, PDO and PGI, respectively. These labels have been designed by the EU to protect and valorise high quality foodstuff produced in limited areas and to ensure higher incomes to farmers.
