Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common malignant pediatric brain tumor and remains a major therapeutic challenge due to its aggressive behavior, high risk of metastasis, and limited treatment options for high-risk subgroups. The transcription...
Purpose In neurodegenerative diseases, cognitive impairment is largely driven by chronic neuroinflammation, with IKKβ serving as a key regulator of the NF-κB signaling pathway. Therefore, the identification of safe and effective agents capable of...
Background Use of antibiotics as growth promoters in aquaculture, leads to resistant bacteria. There is need for plausible alternative like phytogenic ingredients without residual effects nor leading to resistant bacteria. Turmeric (Curcuma longa)...
Salmonellaremains a major foodborne pathogen associated with poultry production, posing significant public health and economic challenges worldwide. Increasing restrictions on antibiotic use have intensified the search for alternative control...
For sustainable aquaculture production, a steady supply of high-quality protein for feed formulations is a challenge for countries with logistical or financial constraints on access to these resources. One of the most sustainable solutions to these...
This study investigates whether exogenous biotin (vitamin B7) mitigates salinity-induced physiological limitations in Dizygostemon riparius, a medicinal species endemic to Maranhão, Brazil, grown in vitro. Salinity (50 mM NaCl) significantly...
Critical minerals used in low-carbon technologies are vital for the global energy transition, but with disproportionate benefit for wealthy countries and risks from their extraction in the Global South. Globally, African countries, particularly in...
Background Micronutrients involved in antioxidant defense may influence ovarian function and embryo competence, but evidence regarding combined vitamin–mineral rumen boluses administered before superovulation is limited. This randomized exploratory...
Quercetin (QUE) is a widely distributed flavonoid with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. A 56-day feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary QUE supplementation on the growth performance, plasma...
Background Workers employed in municipal waste-processing facilities are continuously exposed to occupational hazards that may contribute to oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, metabolic disturbances, and fatigue. This study evaluated the effects...
Early-life nutrition shapes lifelong health, yet the long-term consequences of childhood overnutrition, particularly on musculoskeletal aging, remain unclear. Here, we show that neonatal overfeeding acts as a developmental insult that accelerates...
Background & aims The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of betaine supplementation on mitochondrial and redox-associated parameters in premenopausal women with overweight or obesity. We hypothesized that betaine enhances selected...
With rising rates of chronic diseases, obesity and metabolic disorders, there is an urgent need for more effective lifestyle interventions. An increasing recognition of how an individual’s diet affects their disease susceptibility has highlighted...
Purpose The scientific knowledge for the essential fat-soluble vitamin E (VitE) remains inconclusive. There is still a lack of valid status parameters and deficiency symptoms for insufficient intake. Therefore, the derivation of a dietary reference...
Cactus fruit (Opuntiaspp.) has emerged as a nutrient-rich and climate-resilient food resource with considerable potential to address global challenges related to nutrition, health, and environmental sustainability. This review synthesizes current...
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed cancer therapy, yet primary and acquired resistance limit their durable clinical benefit. Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of cell death driven by phospholipid peroxidation, contributes to...
To examine health risks and benefits of a vegan diet, the RBVD study was conducted in 2017 and followed up in 2021. The present paper evaluated dietary nutrient intake and status together with systemic cardiometabolic health-related biomarkers and...
Global hidden hunger affects over 2 billion people who suffer from multiple concurrent micronutrient deficiencies, yet mushroom biofortification strategies remain paradoxically limited to single-nutrient enrichment. This framework paper introduces...
Background Indonesia faces a complex triple burden of malnutrition, encompassing stunting, wasting, and anemia. Food diversification has been advocated as a sustainable strategy to improve diet quality and prevent malnutrition; however, the...
Nutritional and metabolic information on Uruguayan landrace maize varieties is still limited. This study analyzed 56 landrace varieties cultivated in the country, representative of different endosperm types (Flint, Dent, Floury, and Pop), races, and...
Biological Trace Element Research is an international journal dedicated to publishing high-quality articles that advance knowledge of the importance...
Journal
Announcement We are pleased to announce that European Journal of Nutrition will become a fully open access (OA) on 1 January 2027. As a result, all...
The European Journal of Clinical Nutrition(EJCN) is an international, peer-reviewed journal covering all aspects of human and clinical nutrition....
