  Sensory analysis represents a decisive step during the various stages of food product development. For probiotic, prebiotic, and synbiotic foods, which have shown continuous and significant consumption in the functional food category, the choice of an appropriate technique allows obtaining relevant sensory information that contributes to consumer acceptance. This review focuses on the importance of sensory analytical techniques in prebiotic and probiotic food product development. Examples of the most known sensory methodologies applied to these important functional foods are presented, as well as some considerations about consumer attitudes that can influence acceptance of these products. Moreover, applications of such techniques on functional product evaluation are provided.

Chemoselectivity in Pd-Based Dyotropic Rearrangement: Development and Application in Total Synthesis of Pheromones.

J Am Chem Soc

Laboratory of Synthesis and Natural Products (LSPN), Institute of Chemical Sciences and Engineering, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, EPFL-SB-ISIC-LSPN, BCH 5304, CH-1015 Lausanne, Switzerland.

In the dyotropic rearrangement of molecules with semiflexible structures, characterized by a freely rotating static C-C bond, the formation of a mixture of products is common due to the coexistence of several energetically comparable conformers. Herein, we report that it is possible to modulate the shifting groups by adjusting the metal's coordination sphere in Pd-based dyotropic rearrangement. In the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd(II) salt, the reaction of γ-hydroxyalkenes or γ,δ-dihydroxyalkenes with Selectfluor affords fluorinated tetrahydropyranols or 6,8-dioxabicyclo[3.

Background: We continue to struggle with the prevention and treatment of the influenza virus. The 2009 swine flu pandemic, caused by the H1N1 strain of influenza A, resulted in numerous fatalities. The threat of influenza remains a significant concern for global health, and the development of novel drugs targeting these viruses is highly desirable.

January 2025

Experiment Center for Science and Technology, Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shanghai, 201203, China.

Unlabelled: Mesenchymal‒epithelial transition factor (c-Met), a receptortyrosine kinase (RTK), plays a vital role in cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and tumour metastasis.

Objective: With increasing duration of treatment, many tumours gradually develop drug resistance. Therefore, novel antitumour drugs need to be developed to treat patients with tumours.

Gamma-Retroviral (RVVs) and lentiviral vectors (LVVs) represent indispensable tools in somatic gene therapy, mediating the efficient, stable transfer of therapeutic genes into a variety of human target cells. LVVs, in contrast to RVVs, are capable of stably genetically modifying non-proliferating target cells, making them the superior instrument in cell and gene therapy. To date, the LVV manufacturing process employs human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293) and derivatives thereof transiently transfected with multiple plasmids encoding the required viral vector components.
