Chronic intermittent fasting impairs β cell maturation and function in adolescent mice by Leonardo Matta, Peter Weber, Suheda Erener, Alina Walth-Hummel, Daniela Hass, Lea K. Bühler, Katarina Klepac, Julia Szendroedi, Joel Guerra, Maria Rohm, Michael Sterr, Heiko Lickert, Alexander Bartelt, Stephan Herzig

“…Using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), we delineate that the β cell maturation and function scores are reduced in young mice. In human islets, a similar pattern is observed in type 1 (T1D), but not type 2 (T2D), diabetes, suggesting that the impact of chronic IF in adolescence is linked to the development of β cell dysfunction. …”

Research Progress on Harmful Products from Maillard Reaction in Dairy Products: Generation Pathways, Detection Methods, and Control Strategies by XU Wenlong, XIE Yijia, PAN Yang, LIAO Lijuan, HUANG Min, YANG Yinxi, WU Yongtai, LI Bing

“…The Maillard reaction imparts appealing aroma, color and texture to foods such as bread and coffee; however, in milk and dairy products, the Maillard reaction decreases their nutritional value and generates various harmful compounds, including furosine, furfural, and advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), which are associated with chronic diseases in humans. Understanding the formation mechanisms of harmful Maillard reaction products in dairy products and establishing control methods for these compounds are crucial for improving the quality of dairy products. …”
