Bioactives and Other Nutritional Components in the Jaggery Production Process by Nisha Pujari, Nirali Dedhia, Sanjay Mahajani, Narendra Shah, Amit Arora

“…Some unreported phenolics and flavonoids, such as isoferulic acid, prunitrin and maritimetin, which are known to have anti-inflammatory properties, were detected in selected NCS samples. In order to retain maximum mineral content in jaggery and to ensure the removal of appropriate amounts of scum, technological upgrades must be studied and the clarification step must be optimized and standardized.…”

The cardiac phospho-proteome during pressure overload in mice by Rhys Wardman, Steve Grein, Jennifer Schwartz, Frank Stein, Joerg Heineke

“…Our analysis highlights significant changes in hypertrophic signalling, metabolic remodelling, contractile function, and the stress response pathways. We present proteomic data from the main cardiac cell types (endothelial cells, fibroblasts and cardiomyocytes) to reveal the cellular localisation of the detected phospho-proteins, offering insights into temporal and site-specific phosphorylation events, facilitating the potential discovery of novel therapeutic targets and biomarkers. …”

Complexity of immunobiology of tumor necrosis factor and novel anti-TNF therapy by S. А. Nedospasov

“…Systemic anti-cytokine therapy is known to be accompanied by undesirable side effects, which can hypothetically be explained by the neutralization of these protective functions. Thus, we developed prototypes of TNF blockers which limit the bioavailability of this cytokine only from its main “pathogenic” source – myeloid cells. …”

Spatiotemporal impact of mesoscale eddies on chlorophyll-a concentration in the North Atlantic by Jinghui Cai, Jialong Sun, Jialong Sun, Jialong Sun, Siyuan Qin, Yaonan Li

“…IntroductionMesoscale eddies play a crucial role in energy transport and ecological regulation in the North Atlantic Ocean.MethodsBased on multi-source datasets, including satellite remote sensing and Argo float observations from 2009 to 2018, this study employs the Velocity Gradient Detection (VGD) method to identify eddy boundaries and cores, in combination with a spatiotemporal dynamic matching technique, to systematically analyze eddy characteristics and their impacts on chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentrations.ResultsResults show that eddy activity is predominantly concentrated in the Gulf Stream extension region (24°N–48°N, 40°W–60°W). …”
