New research from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev has found a critical role for the SIRT6 enzyme in preventing the formation of protein waste. SIRT6 is a naturally produced enzyme, but it tends to decline over time. Prof. Debra Toiber's research has shown that reduced SIRT6 levels play a critical role in aging and age-related neurodegeneration across multiple levels.

Kookmin University said Tuesday that the Ministry of Science and ICT had selected a new synthetic biology project aimed at stabilizing future food supplies, backing research to engineer food-grade yeast for precision fermentation. Professor Park Yong-cheol of the university’s department of integrative biotechnology was chosen for the 2026 Basic Research Program’s core research category, overseen by the ministry and supported by the National Research Foundation of Korea. The project focuses on developing a genetic toolkit for Candida utilis, a food-grade yeast, and applying it to produce key food materials through precision fermentation. The initiative aims to establish technologies for the stable domestic production of food ingredients such as proteins and amino acids, while addressing supply instability linked to climate change. Park’s team plans to design modular genetic components to enable genome editing and strain improvement of the yeast, laying the groundwork for scalable and

India is shifting from industrial fortification to farm-led biofortification. Driven by policy changes, farmer incentives, and rising consumer demand for nutrient-dense staples, nutrition is evolving from a subsidy-dependent goal into a market-driven reality.

Antibiotics are accumulating in a major Brazilian river, especially during the dry season when pollution becomes more concentrated. Scientists even detected a banned drug inside fish sold for food, raising concerns about human exposure. A common aquatic plant showed promise in removing these chemicals from water—but it also altered how fish absorb them, creating unexpected risks.

Editor's Note: This article is a reprint. It was originally published March 12, 2023. At face value, fake meat sounds like the perfect solution to end world hunger, protect animal welfare and save the planet from environmental destruction. Even a brief look below the surface reveals a much more nefarious reality, however. To help raise awareness about this latest assault on human health, I spoke with host Polly Tommey on "Tea Time," a program by Children's Health Defense, about the dangers of fake meat products. 1 Fake Meat Is All About Controlling the Food Supply Fake food — including lab-grown meat, animal-free dairy, and plant-based meat — is the globalists' latest attempt to control the food supply. Former U.S. Secretary of State and national security adviser Henry Kissinger once said, "Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control people." 2 Controlling people is their whole agenda. The globalists have long held a monopoly

A randomized crossover trial found that replacing red meat patties with processed plant-based meat alternatives for six days significantly lowered circulating trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), a gut-derived metabolite linked to cardiovascular risk. The plant-based phase also produced modest reductions in cholesterol markers but slightly increased weight and NT-proBNP, possibly due to higher sodium intake.

A new study led by Pierre Close's team (GIGA, Laboratory of Cancer Signaling, and WELRI Investigator) reveals how subtly disrupting the way tumors produce their proteins can trigger a potent antitumor immune response.

arXiv:2603.03370v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Global food production must reduce environmental impact while meeting rising demand for dietary protein. Plant-based meats aim to preserve the sensory and cultural role of animal meat, while lowering greenhouse gas emissions, land use, and health risks. Advances in protein structure and flavor chemistry have improved product quality; yet, consumers continue to prioritize taste and texture over sustainability and systematic large-scale consumer surveys are scarce. It remains unclear how plant-based products rank against animal benchmarks and which product attributes most strongly influence overall liking. Here we show, in a large-scale, blinded, in-person sensory evaluation across 14 product categories, 2,684 consumers, more than 11,000 product evaluations and 800,000 data points, that plant-based products still trail animal benchmarks at the category average level, but approach parity in selected formats: Plant-based unbreaded chicken

Koreans are moving away from viral sweets and falling in love with healthy seasonal greens. While Dubai chewy cookies, a chocolate treat filled with pistachio cream and crunchy kadayif pastry, recently dominated the nation's tastebuds, the spotlight has abruptly shifted to "bomdong" bibimbap, a dish featuring seasoned cabbage over rice. According to the Korea Agricultural Marketing Information Service (KAMIS), bomdong is a type of spring cabbage primarily cultivated in the southern coastal regions of South Jeolla Province. Its sudden popularity is being fueled by a retro meme involving a 2008 episode of the variety show “2 Days & 1 Night,” where comedian Kang Ho-dong enjoyed a large bowl of the simple dish. A short-form video of this 18-year-old clip has recently surpassed 5 million views and search interest for spring cabbage reached the peak score of 100 on Feb 28 on Google Trends. People in the food industry say this shift is happening because many are tired of unhealthy desserts

Has the U.S. Department of Agriculture flipped everything you thought you knew about nutrition on its head? At first glance, the newly released dietary guidelines featuring a new food pyramid may seem like a protein-first approach to eating well. However, registered dietitians and public health experts say the basics are largely the same as the advice author Michael Pollan shared in his book "Food Rules": "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants."

arXiv:2602.16755v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Precision fermentation relies on microbial cell factories to produce sustainable food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and biofuels. Specialized laboratories such as biofoundries are advancing these processes using high-throughput bioreactor platforms, which generate vast datasets. However, the lack of community standards limits data accessibility and interoperability, preventing integration across platforms. In order to address this, we introduce PREFER, an open-source ontology designed to establish a unified standard for bioprocess data. Built in alignment with the widely adopted Basic Formal Ontology (BFO) and connecting with several other community ontologies, PREFER ensures consistency and cross-domain compatibility and covers the whole precision fermentation process. Integrating PREFER into high-throughput bioprocess development workflows enables structured metadata that supports automated cross-platform execution and high-fidelity

Understanding the brain’s complexity requires more than just knowing which genes are present; it demands insight into how proteins—the workhorses of the cell—are synthesized in distinct cellular environments.

Researchers from the University of […]
