To elucidate the effect of transglutaminase (TG) on the rheological properties of wheat gluten, this study investigates the underlying mechanisms by analyzing changes in gluten structure. The results demonstrated that the TG-treated gluten samples had higher storage modulus (G') and loss modulus (G″) compared to the control, conversely, creep and recovery strains followed an opposite trend. Notably, the most pronounced effects were observed with adding 2 U/g TG for 20-30 min.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the experiences of Asian American female sexual minority (AAFSM) college students in Midwestern U.S. universities, focusing on how race, gender, and sexual orientation intersect.
  • Findings reveal that these students face intersectional objectifications and internalize racism, sexism, and heterosexism to fit in, which reinforces these biases in society.
  • The research highlights complex forms of discrimination referred to as intersectional post-racism-(hetero)sexism and provides recommendations for creating more inclusive educational environments for AAFSM students.

Reversing aberrant protein methylation levels is widely recognized as a key focus in cancer therapy. As an essential lysine methylation regulator, NSD2 (Nuclear receptor-binding SET Domain 2, also known as WHSC1/MMSET) regulates chromatin structural sparsity and DNA repair processes. Abnormal enhancement of NSD2 methylation activity (caused by NSD2 overexpression and point mutations) has been closely related to the initiation and development of various cancers and diseases.
