RNA-based therapeutics are set to transform disease treatment, having already revolutionised our approach to vaccination. However, RNA therapeutics are rapidly degraded by blood enzymes upon administration, do not readily enter cells to their site of action, and do not specifically enter the cell types in which they are biologically active. Targete...
In this study, we conducted extraction experiments using model wine on French oak chips toasted at various temperatures to investigate the extracted sugars. A certain amount of sugars were extracted from the oak chips, and the quantity significantly varied depending on the toasting temperature. Analysis of the composition of the extracted sugars re...

Plant cells serve as versatile platforms for the production of high-value recombinant proteins. This study explored the efficacy of utilizing an endogenous αAmy3 promoter for the expression of a bioactive pharmaceutical protein, specifically the mature region of human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (hBMP2m). Utilizing a refined CRISPR/Cas9-mediated i...

Fibre-rich by-products like wheat bran are a sustainable source of health promoting components. However, substantial enrichment in bran of popular and convenient food like biscuits negatively impacts dough rheology and baked product properties. In this study, we suggest that alterations in dough rheology and biscuit properties resulting from bran e...
Public health initiatives are currently aiming to lower free sugar intakes for health benefits, but attitudes towards sugars, their alternatives such as low/no-calorie sweeteners (LNCS), and towards sweet-tasting foods may be hampering efforts. This work investigated associations between attitudes towards and the reported intakes of sugars, LNCS an...
Stem cuttings are used in the commercial cultivation of many crops, including medicinal cannabis, to produce large numbers of uniform and genetically identical plants. Light is an important environmental factor determining the success of the rooting of stem cuttings. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of different fractions of f...

Whole grains have gained extensive attention for their contribution to optimal diet quality in the child population. However, little is known about the association between whole grain and sugar intakes. This study aimed to determine whole grain intake and its associations with sugar and other nutrients intakes in schoolchildren. A total of 415 heal...
