TL;DR: The characterization of food quality (including problems of authentication and adulteration) is discussed, together with a future outlook on future directions.

TL;DR: The potential role of protein differential expression between Moro and Cadenera fruits was discussed, and proteomic results were compared with the known variations of transcripts of the same fruits, confirming the necessity to associate both proteomic and transcriptomic approaches in order to achieve a more complete characterization of the biological system.

TL;DR: The echinoderm immune system has been characterized as unexpectedly complex, robust, and flexible, and many echinoderms have very long life-spans that correlate with an excellent capacity for cell damage repair, and therefore are species that can serve as optimal sentinels of environmental health.

TL;DR: The immune mediators in H. tubulosa are a source of novel antimicrobial peptides for the development of new agents against biofilm bacterial communities that are often intrinsically resistant to conventional antibiotics.

TL;DR: This first work to report the purification and characterization of VDAC2 from a mammalian tissue using as starting material bovine spermatozoa with major contaminations of the other isoforms is reported.
