Hypothesis: Precision fermentation is a novel approach to produce microbial-based caseins, which promises to be important in the production of animal-free dairy. Caseins are important stabilizers in foam- and emulsion-based dairy products. A solid understanding of how caseins behave at the air-water and oil-water interfaces is essential for the development of new products based on microbial-based caseins.

Aims/hypothesis: Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is increasingly used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, but the effects on glycaemic control are unclear. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to provide a comprehensive overview of the effect of CGM on glycaemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes.

Methods: We performed a systematic review using Embase, MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus and ClinicalTrials.

High mammographic density (MD) is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer, however the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. This research aimed to identify microRNAs (miRNAs) that play a role in the development of extremely dense breast tissue. In the discovery phase, 754 human mature miRNAs were profiled in 21 extremely high MD- and 20 very low MD-derived nipple aspirate fluid (NAF) samples from healthy women.
