This study aimed to evaluate the effects of salt addition and different thermal-assisted pressure processing (TAPP) conditions (temperature and pressure levels) on technological, chromatic, and textural parameters and lipid oxidation of Superficial pectoralis beef muscle. A factorial design with three factors was applied: KCl/NaCl marination (marinated samples MS; non-marinated samples, NMS), temperature during high-pressure processing (50, 70°C), and pressure level (0.1, 200, and 300 MPa).

Excessive accumulation of white adipose tissue leads to metabolic disorders, and the excessive differentiation of preadipocytes into white adipocytes is one of the contributing factors to obesity. The browning of white adipocytes has been regarded as a promising therapeutic strategy. To analyze the origins and potential solutions for obesity from a fundamental perspective, we employed atomic force microscopy, and Raman confocal microscopy to investigate and characterize multidimensional information regarding the differentiation process of 3 T3-L1 preadipocyte models into white adipocytes and their subsequent browning into beige adipocytes.

Unlabelled: Bioluminescence in is regulated by a quorum-dependent signaling system composed of LuxI and LuxR. LuxI generates 3-oxohexanoyl homoserine lactone (3OC6-HSL), which triggers LuxR to activate transcription of the operon responsible for bioluminescence. Surprisingly, a ∆ mutant produced more bioluminescence than the wild type in culture.

The pupillary light response was long considered a brainstem reflex, outside of cognitive influence. However, newer findings indicate that pupil dilation (and eye movements) can reflect content held "in mind" with working memory (WM). These findings may reshape understanding of ocular and WM mechanisms, but it is unclear whether the signals are artifactual or functional to WM.
