The role of the Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 2 (TRPV2) channel in embryo implantation. KU Leuven
Calcium, one of the most abundant and important ions, is not only important for cellular homeostasis, it also fulfills the role of a secondary messenger allowing the induction of a plethora of signal transduction pathways. Although often disregarded, calcium is indispensable for reproduction as aberrant calcium signaling can influence post-implantation development73. TRP channels can detect a variety of stimuli and translate this into calcium ...
The relationship between wheat bran properties and their impact on bread making KU Leuven
Wheat bran, a co-product of the industrial roller milling of wheat, can be added to food products such as bread because of its nutritional profile and physiological effects. However, incorporation of wheat bran in bread systems can negatively affect final product quality. Next to possible taste issues, bran-enriched bread modifies crumb texture and shows a lower loaf volume as compared to white bread. Some intrinsic bran properties are ...
