TL;DR: A review of the biochemical changes that occur in rennet-coagulated cheeses during ripening can be found in this article, with a focus on secondary reactions such as the production of volatile flavour compounds.
Abstract: Rennet-coagulated cheeses are ripened for periods ranging from about two weeks to two or more years depending on variety. During ripening, microbiological and biochemical changes occur that result in the development of the flavour and texture characteristic of the variety. Biochemical changes in cheese during ripening may be grouped into primary (lipolysis, proteolysis and metabolism of residual lactose and of lactate and citrate) or secondary (metabolism of fatty acids and of amino acids) events. Residual lactose is metabolized rapidly to lactate during the early stages of ripening. Lactate is an important precursor for a series of reactions including racemization, oxidation or microbial metabolism. Citrate metabolism is of great importance in certain varieties. Lipolysis in cheese is catalysed by lipases from various source, particularly the milk and cheese microflora, and, in varieties where this coagulant is used, by enzymes from rennet paste. Proteolysis is the most complex biochemical event that occurs during ripening and is catalysed by enzymes from residual coagulant, the milk (particularly plasmin) and proteinases and peptidases from lactic acid bacteria and, in certain varieties, other microorganisms that are encouraged to grow in or on the cheese. Secondary reactions lead to the production of volatile flavour compounds and pathways for the production of flavour compounds from fatty acids and amino acids are also reviewed.

TL;DR: Probiotics are defined as “living microorganisms, which upon ingestion in certain numbers exert health benefits on the host beyond inherent basic nutrition” ([43][1].
Abstract: Probiotics are defined as “living microorganisms, which upon ingestion in certain numbers exert health benefits on the host beyond inherent basic nutrition” ([43][1]). Various studies have indicated that probiotics may alleviate lactose intolerance; have a positive influence on the intestinal

TL;DR: The promise of targeting the inflammation pathway in the management of this challenging condition is today somewhat weaker, but this might not be the last word on the potential role of anti-inflammatory drugs in the treatment of bipolar depression.

TL;DR: A review discusses recent studies on the early colonization and factors influencing this process which impact on health and an adequate establishment of microbiota and its maintenance throughout life would reduce the risk of disease in early and late life.
Abstract: The intestinal microbiota has become a relevant aspect of human health. Microbial colonization runs in parallel with immune system maturation and plays a role in intestinal physiology and regulation. Increasing evidence on early microbial contact suggest that human intestinal microbiota is seeded before birth. Maternal microbiota forms the first microbial inoculum, and from birth, the microbial diversity increases and converges toward an adult-like microbiota by the end of the first 3-5 years of life. Perinatal factors such as mode of delivery, diet, genetics, and intestinal mucin glycosylation all contribute to influence microbial colonization. Once established, the composition of the gut microbiota is relatively stable throughout adult life, but can be altered as a result of bacterial infections, antibiotic treatment, lifestyle, surgical, and a long-term change in diet. Shifts in this complex microbial system have been reported to increase the risk of disease. Therefore, an adequate establishment of microbiota and its maintenance throughout life would reduce the risk of disease in early and late life. This review discusses recent studies on the early colonization and factors influencing this process which impact on health.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the scientific utility of the term & #x2018;organism within the domain of behavior analysis and discuss some possible reasons for its widespread use.
Abstract: The term & #x2018;organism & #x2018; enjoys a revered place within the vocabulary of behavior analysis, most notably perhaps within the title of Skinner’s seminal work (The Behavior of Organisms, 1938). The exact status of this term, however, is unclear. For instance, the term does not appear to be a technical one. Nevertheless, its widespread use in the behavior-analytic literature suggests that it is masquerading as such. The present paper appraises the scientific utility of the term & #x2018;organism’ within the domain of behavior analysis and discusses some possible reasons for its widespread use.
