Article Synopsis
- There is uncertainty about the adequacy of contemporary plant-based diets in meeting essential nutrient intakes, leading to the establishment of the Feeding the Future (FEED) study in the UK.
- The study involved 6,342 participants across various diet groups (omnivores, flexitarians, pescatarians, vegetarians, and vegans), assessing their diets through food frequency questionnaires.
- Findings revealed that while most participants met UK recommendations for certain nutrients, vegetarians and vegans often had lower protein and certain vitamins, indicating a need for better dietary choices or food fortification to prevent nutrient deficiencies.
Viral flice-interacting protein (vFLIP), encoded by the oncogenic Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpes virus (KSHV), constitutively activates the canonical nuclear factor κ-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) pathway. This is achieved through subversion of the IκB kinase (IKK) complex (or signalosome), which involves a physical interaction between vFLIP and the modulatory subunit IKKγ. Although this interaction has been examined both in vivo and in vitro, the mechanism by which vFLIP activates the kinase remains to be determined.
