Recent studies have highlighted in malt the occurrence of the glutathionylated precursor of 3-sulfanylhexanol (G-3SHol) at concentrations reaching hundreds of μg/kg. Here, SIDA-LC-MS/MS was used to investigate the potential conversion of G-3SHol to its dipeptide and cysteinyl analogues during mashing. At 45 and 55 °C, malt γGT and carboxypeptidase activities quickly degrade G-3SHol (up to 90% loss), first to the cysteinylglycine conjugate and then to the cysteine conjugate (up to 205% increase). No γ-glutamylcysteine -conjugate formation is observed. At 80 °C, despite enzyme inactivation, the G-3SHol level decreases steadily because of suspected imine formation with wort aldehydes at pH 5.5. More surprisingly, CysGly-3SHol is still generated at 80 °C. This indicates the presence in the wort of as yet unidentified precursors.

Background: Evidence has revealed that oestrogen deprivation-induced osteolysis is microbiota-dependent and can be treated by probiotics. However, the underlying mechanism require further investigation. This study aims to provide additional evidence supporting the use of probiotics as an adjuvant treatment and to explore the pathophysiology of oestrogen-deprived osteolysis.

Microscopic evidence demonstrated a strictly biotrophic lifestyle of the scab fungus on growing apple leaves and characterised its hemibiotrophy as the combination of biotrophy and saprotrophy not described before. The pathogen-host interface was characterised by the formation of knob-like structures of the fungal stroma appressed to epidermal cells as early as 1 day after host penetration, very thin fan-shaped cells covering large parts of the host cell lumen, and enzymatic cuticle penetration from the subcuticular space limited to the protruding conidiophores. The cell wall had numerous orifices, facilitating intimate contact with the host tissue.

Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) deposition is unequally distributed across space and time, with inputs to terrestrial ecosystems impacted by industry regulations and variations in human activity. Soil carbon (C) content normally controls the fraction of mineralized N that is nitrified (ƒ), affecting N bioavailability for plants and microbes. However, it is unknown whether N deposition has modified the relationships among soil C, net N mineralization, and net nitrification.

This work presents strong evidence supporting the use of decellularized human iliac arteries combined with adipose tissue-derived stem cells (hASCs) as a promising alternative for vascular tissue engineering, opening the path to future treatments for peripheral artery disease (PAD). PAD is a progressive condition with high rates of amputation and mortality due to ischemic damage and limited graft options. Traditional synthetic grafts often fail due to poor integration, while autologous grafts may be unsuitable for patients with compromised vascular health.

The release of PAEs into the environment through pathways that include leaching, evaporation, abrasion, and the use of personal care products exposes humans to PAEs via ingestion, inhalation, and dermal absorption. Pregnant women, as a particularly vulnerable population, risk adverse newborn growth and development when exposed to PAEs.
