Protein from tiger nut meal (TNP) performance high nutritional value. This study optimized the extraction parameters for TNP (DES-TNP) using deep eutectic solvent, with HBD: HBA = 5:1, Liquid: Solid = 11:1, and the moisture content was 15 %. A comprehensive comparison was conducted with the protein extracted using alkali-soluble acid precipitation (ASAE-TNP). DES-TNP demonstrated significantly higher purity (76.21 ± 2.59 %) than ASAE-TNP (67.48 ± 1.11 %). Density functional theory confirmed the successful synthesis of DES and its strong interaction with TNP. Moreover, DES-TNP and ASAE-TNP were different in structure (microscopic, secondary, and tertiary) and molecular weight distribution. The discrepancy contributed to the different functional properties, DES-TNP exhibiting better solubility, emulsification and foaming properties at pH13 compared to ASAE-TNP. For nutritional properties, DES-TNP and ASAE-TNP exhibited similar amino acid composition and digestibility, but the total amino acid content of DES-TNP was higher. This study presented a novel method for the extraction and comprehensive utilization of TNP.

The combined effects of cardiometabolic index and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein on the risk of new onset stroke in a Chinese national prospective longitudinal cohort study.

Background: The Cardiometabolic Index (CMI) represents a novel anthropometric measurement, which combines characteristics of adiposity and lipids. Since obesity, lipid metabolism, and inflammation may collectively facilitate the occurrence of stroke, we hypothesize that a combination of elevated levels of the CMI and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) increases the risk of future stroke among middle-aged and older Chinese adults.
Methods: This study included 8,973 participants aged 45 years or older from the China Longitudinal Study on Health and Retirement (CHARLS), who were stroke-free and underwent baseline evaluations between 2011 and 2012, with followed-up at 2013, 2015 and 2018.

Cathelicidin is a family of antimicrobial peptides in vertebrates that plays an important role in resistance and immunization against pathogenic microorganisms. In the present study, the full-length cDNA sequences of four novel cathelicidins (cathelicidin-1 to cathelicidin-4) in the tiger frog Hoplobatrachus rugulosus, encoding 153, 188, 132, and 160 amino acids, respectively, were firstly cloned by rapid amplification of the cDNA ends (RACE) technique. Sequence comparison and phylogenetic tree analysis indicated that the structures of the four cathelicidins are highly diverse.

Inbreeding increases genome homozygosity within populations, which can exacerbate inbreeding depression by exposing homozygous deleterious alleles that are responsible for declines in fitness traits. In small populations, genetic purging that occurs under pressure of natural selection acts as an opposing force, contributing to a reduction of deleterious alleles. Both inbreeding and genetic purging are paramount in the field of conservation genomics.

Article Synopsis
- Only two species of saber-toothed cats, the scimitar-toothed cat and saber-toothed tiger, have partial mitochondrial genomes listed in the NCBI database, lacking the control region and containing gaps in key gene sequences.
- This study aimed to complete the mitogenomes of these two species using next-generation sequencing data, resulting in fully assembled mitogenomes with standard gene arrangements typical of vertebrates.
- The findings indicate a close genetic relationship to previous studies but suggest a distinct divergence between North American and North Sea specimens, potentially linked to migrations during the Early Pleistocene across Beringia.
Assessment of Linear and Cyclic Peptides' Immobilization onto Cross-Linked, Poly(vinyl alcohol)/Cellulose Nanocrystal Nanofibers Electrospun over Quartz Crystal Microbalances with Dissipation Sensors.

Immobilization of peptides onto nanofiber dressings holds significant potential for chronic wound treatment. However, it is necessary to understand the adsorptive capacity of the produced substrates and the binding affinity of the peptides to determine the interface success. This study aims at exploring for the first time the influence of electrospun poly(vinyl alcohol)-based nanofibers on the adsorption of a cyclic peptide, Tiger 17, and of a linear peptide, Pexiganan, using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D).
