Background: Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) has been shown to have associations with several diseases including cancers. Previous studies have investigated the effect of GGT levels on the gastrointestinal (GI) cancer incidence. We aim to systematically investigate these studies to provide better insights into the interrelationship between GGT and GI cancers.

The spatial organization of the genome plays a critical role in regulating gene expression, cellular differentiation, and genome stability. This review provides an in-depth examination of the methodologies, computational tools, and frameworks developed to map the three-dimensional (3D) architecture of the genome, focusing on both ligation-based and ligation-free techniques. We also explore the limitations of these methods, including biases introduced by restriction enzyme digestion and ligation inefficiencies, and compare them to more recent ligation-free approaches such as Genome Architecture Mapping (GAM) and Split-Pool Recognition of Interactions by Tag Extension (SPRITE).

An digestion model was established to characterize the types of collagens in skin of cod, white fish, and salmon as well as their collagen-containing skin-derived protein hydrolysates (CSPH) before and after digestion. Moreover, the mineral content and their bioaccessibility were evaluated. Finally, the presence of heavy metals was evaluated to assess the safety of these products.

Hexavalent chromium Cr(VI), as a well-established carcinogen, contributes to tumorigenesis for many human cancers, especially respiratory and digestive tumors. However, the potential function and relevant mechanism of Cr(VI) on the initiation of esophageal carcinogenesis are largely unknown. Here, immortalized human esophageal epithelial cells (HEECs) were induced to be malignantly transformed cells, termed HEEC-Cr(VI) cells, via chronic exposure to Cr(VI), which simulates the progress of esophageal tumorigenesis.

The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism of protein digestibility improvement by exploring the changes in structural characteristics of proteins in noodles with varying levels of mechanically activated starch. Therefore, different levels of mechanically activated wheat starch were mixed with refined wheat flour to produce noodles. Results showed that moderately mechanically activated starch could significantly improve protein digestibility and noodles containing 8.
