Hen's egg white allergens, namely Gal d 1-4, cause food allergies worldwide and their intake must be strictly controlled by allergic individuals. However, an efficient method for quantifying these allergens is currently unavailable. We aimed to develop an LC-MS/MS method for simultaneous Gal d 1-4 quantification. Purified Gal d 1-4 proteins were trypsin-digested and the resulting peptides used in LC-MS/MS analysis. The limits of quantification were 9.77-39.1 ng/mL. The Gal d 1-4 recovery in fresh and processed eggs was 68.3-121.3%, and intra- and interassay coefficients of variation were 1.5-15.7% and 2.4-38.1%, respectively, indicating high sensitivity, accuracy, and reproducibility. In addition, the high specificity of this method was confirmed by testing 27 other foods. This newly developed method could provide reliable information to the industrial food and clinical fields, facilitating improved quality of life for individuals with egg allergies.

Lacto-N-neotetraose (LNnT) is a primary solid component of human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) with various promising health effects for infants. LNnT production by GRAS (generally recognized as safe) microorganisms has attracted considerable attention. However, few studies have emphasized Pichia Pastoris as a cell factory for LNnT's production.

The β-1,4 galactosylation catalyzed by β-1,4 galactosyltransferases (β4Gal-Ts) is not only closely associated with diverse physiological and pathological processes in humans but also widely applied in the -glycan modification of protein glycoengineering. The loop-closing process of β4Gal-Ts is an essential intermediate step intervening in the binding events of donor substrate (UDP-Gal/Mn) and acceptor substrate during its catalytic cycle, with a significant impact on the galactosylation activities. However, the molecular mechanisms in regulating loop-closing dynamics are not entirely clear.

Liver fibrosis may lead to cirrhosis and even cancer without effective clinical medicine available. Previous studies demonstrated that galactan-containing pectins or pectin-like polysaccharides might target Galectin-3 (Gal-3) to impede fibrosis. This research aims to discover novel pectin-like galactan to interfere with fibrosis for potential new drug development.

Article Synopsis
- This study explored glucose level differences during and after exercise between men and women with type 1 diabetes over four weeks in a prospective observational design.
- It found that women had higher glucose levels than men at the start of both study and personal exercise sessions and had smaller declines in glucose during personal exercises.
- Overall, while female participants showed higher pre-exercise glucose levels and less decline during exercise, their food, exercise, and insulin habits were similar to those of male participants.
