Acrylamide (AA) is a toxin in food systems associated with neurotoxicity, carcinogenicity, genotoxicity, and cardiotoxicity. While several approaches exist, this work details the first-of-its-kind application of Powder X-Ray Diffraction (PXRD) for the detection of AA in food systems. A new methodology was validated as per ICH guidelines. Various x-ray tube combinations such as current (25-45 mA), voltage (25-45 kV), and scanning parameters such as step size (0.006-0.10°) and time-per-step (50-150 s) were experimented on 10-80° angle 2theta (2θ). In this investigation, more diffracted peaks were detected on time per step 151.210 [s], 0.0135[°] step size @ 35 mA/45 kV through phase quantification. The developed method was successfully applied to real processed food samples for qualitative analysis of AA. In addition, the influence of oil frying temperature-time conditions on AA content was studied. Overall, this work highlights the prospects of PXRD-based food quality and safety evaluation.

Importance: Recently, the US Food and Drug Administration gave premarketing approval to an algorithm based on its purported ability to identify individuals at genetic risk for opioid use disorder (OUD). However, the clinical utility of the candidate genetic variants included in the algorithm has not been independently demonstrated.

Objective: To assess the utility of 15 genetic variants from an algorithm intended to predict OUD risk.

Although fluorescence analysis methods are widely used in pesticide residue detection, improving their sensitivity and selectivity remains a challenge. This paper presents a novel ratio fluorescence sensor based on the molecular imprinting polymers (MIPs) and metal-enhanced fluorescence for visual detection of dicamba (DIC). Calcium fluoride (CaF) quantum dots (QDs) were immobilized on the surface of Ag@MIPs, resulting in a blue fluorescence response signal (Ag@MIPs-CaF).

Proteomics has become a powerful approach for the identification and characterization of type III effectors (T3Es). Members of the species complex (RSSC) deploy T3Es to manipulate host cells and to promote root infection of, among others, a wide range of solanaceous plants such as tomato, potato, and tobacco. Here, we used TurboID-mediated proximity labeling (PL) in tomato hairy root cultures to explore the proxeomes of the core RSSC T3Es RipU, RipD, and RipB.

Hypertension is a major risk factor for many cardiovascular diseases, which can lead to kidney and heart disease, stroke, and premature death. Inhibiting angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) activity is an effective method to relieve hypertension. Previously, we screened an active peptide KYPHVF (KF6) from Boletus griseus-Hypomyces chrysospermus with excellent ACE inhibitory activity.

Background: Dementia is a critical public health issue with known health disparities. Social determinants of health (SDOH) and health-related social needs (HRSN) may influence differences across various health outcomes, including cognitive functioning. We describe the association between subjective cognitive decline (SCD), an early indicator of possible future dementia, and select adverse SDOH-HRSN.
