Gluten is a common dietary component with a complex protein structure. It forms incomplete products of digestion, which have the potential to mount an immune response in genetically predisposed individuals, resulting in celiac disease. It also has been linked with nonceliac gluten sensitivity and irritable bowel syndrome due to wheat allergy. A gluten-free diet is an effective treatment of these conditions; however, it can lead to micronutrient and mineral deficiencies and a macronutrient imbalance with higher sugar and lipid intake. Recent popularity has led to greater availability, but increasing cost, of commercially available gluten-free products.

Acorn flour is a rich source of nutrients and is beneficial to human health due to, among other things, its low glycemic index and polyphenol content. In order to obtain more accurate data on the levels and activities of the substances tested after ingestion and digestion, it may be beneficial to use a simulated in vitro digestion method. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to elucidate the content of polyphenols, individual phenolic acids, flavonoids and antiradical properties of acorn flour and pasta enriched with acorn flour before and after simulated in vitro gastrointestinal digestion.

The long-term value of efficient antigen discovery includes gaining insights into the variety of potential cancer neoantigens, effective vaccines lacking adverse effects, and adaptive immune receptor (IR) targets for blocking adaptive IR-antigen interactions in autoimmunity. While the preceding goals have been partially addressed via big data approaches to HLA (human leukocyte antigen)-epitope binding, there has been little such progress in the big data setting for adaptive IR-epitope binding. This delay in progress for the latter is likely due to, among other things, the much more complicated adaptive IR repertoire in an individual compared to individual HLA alleles.

Article Synopsis
- There has been an increase in awareness about gluten-related disorders, such as celiac disease, leading to widespread misinformation about gluten-free diets (GFD) among the general public.
- While a GFD is necessary for those with celiac disease, its effects on individuals with non-celiac gluten/wheat sensitivity and other autoimmune disorders remain unclear and often lack strong evidence.
- The review focuses on how societal pressures on nutrition and body weight influence women's adherence to a GFD, highlighting its potential impact on women's health.

Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic health condition treated by managing a lifelong, strict, and demanding gluten-free diet. Managing the diet entails effective use of self-management skills. This study aimed to explore self-generated procedures children and adolescents with CD in Israel perform when participating in food-related activities considering their self-management skills and health requirements.
