Structural and functional properties of fava bean albumin, globulin and glutelin protein fractions by Timilehin David Oluwajuyitan, Rotimi Emmanuel Aluko

“…Higher surface hydrophobicity of the globulins was directly related to formation of oil-in-water emulsions with smaller oil droplet sizes, and better foaming capacity than the albumin and glutelin. The albumin had a broad range (32–92 %) of protein solubility that covers acidic and alkaline pH while glutelin exhibited significantly higher in vitro protein digestibility (77.33 %) when compared to the 75.34 and 71.73 % for globulin and albumin, respectively. …”

CD4 expression controls epidermal stem cell balance by Nadine Brandes, Heidi Hahn, Anja Uhmann

“…Finally, using CD4 knockout mice we demonstrate that CD4 expression is essential for maintaining fast-cycling epidermal stem cells during homeostasis and that CD4 loss mitigates the age-related decline in wound repair capacity. Collectively, our data support the conclusion that CD4 expression is required for long-term maintenance of the epidermal stem cell balance.…”
