AI Article Synopsis
- Ancient grains like einkorn, emmer, and Kamut are being studied for their nutritional value and potential impact on celiac disease.
- A mass spectrometric method was used to identify celiac epitopes in these grains, and reverse phase-HPLC helped analyze their gliadin protein profiles.
- Findings indicate that these grains contain celiac epitopes and have distinct gliadin compositions, which may affect their functionality in food products.
Article Abstract
Ancient grains have gained renewed interest in the last few years due to their perceived nutritional benefits. The goal of this study was to examine the presence of celiac epitopes in different ancient grains and determine differences in the gliadin protein profile of such grains. To investigate celiac epitopes, an untargeted mass spectrometric method was used, and the gliadin protein profile was studied using reverse phase-HPLC. Our findings show that celiac epitopes can be detected in wheat-related ancient grains, such as einkorn, emmer, and Kamut, indicating that these ancient grains have the potential to elicit the immune response associated with celiac disease. Additionally, the results showed that the gliadin protein composition is significantly different between ancient grain species, which could result in varying functional properties in end-use applications.

The last giant impact on Earth is thought to have formed the Moon. The timing of this event can be determined by dating the different rocks assumed to have crystallized from the lunar magma ocean (LMO). This has led to a wide range of estimates for the age of the Moon between 4.

Banded iron formations (BIFs) are chemical sedimentary rocks commonly utilized for exploring the chemistry and redox state of the Precambrian ocean. Despite their significance, many aspects regarding the crystallization pathways of iron oxides in BIFs remain loosely constrained. In this study, we combine magnetic properties characterization with high-resolution optical and electron imaging of finely laminated BIFs from the 2.

Article Synopsis
- This review highlights the current and potential benefits of sorghum ingredients, such as syrup, grain, and flour, for human consumption, emphasizing their nutritional value and functional uses.
- Sorghum syrup is noted for its unique flavor, lower glycemic index, and higher antioxidant content compared to common sweeteners, with promising applications in beverages like coffee.
- The review also discusses sorghum's increasing use in gluten-free products and sustainable alternatives, positioning it as a versatile ingredient amid growing concerns about climate change and food quality.
Analysis of a shark reveals ancient, Wnt-dependent, habenular asymmetries in vertebrates.

The mode of evolution of left-right asymmetries in the vertebrate habenulae remains largely unknown. Using a transcriptomic approach, we show that in a cartilaginous fish, the catshark Scyliorhinus canicula, habenulae exhibit marked asymmetries, in both their medial and lateral components. Comparisons across vertebrates suggest that those identified in lateral habenulae reflect an ancestral gnathostome trait, partially conserved in lampreys, and independently lost in tetrapods and neopterygians.
