plant proteinrandomized controlled trialBackground With the growing popularity of plant-based meat analogs (PBMAs), an investigation of their effects on health is warranted in an Asian population. Objectives This research investigated the impact of consuming an omnivorous animal-based meat diet (ABMD)...
Nanostructures built from biomolecules such as proteins, DNA and RNA are attracting attention in many areas of biological and materials sciences. Such nanoscale engineering was pioneered with proteins, yet the use of DNA is rapidly gaining traction. What are the advantages of the different biopolymers...

, and contributing to climate change. These stressors have already caused dramatic declines in plant and animal populations (as well as indigenous cultures) globally, such that an estimated 40 percent of species could become extinct within coming decades (Sánchez-Bayo and Wyckhuys2019)....
The animal protocols were approved by the CIPA of INRS’ LNBE for the fathead minnow colony (#1903-01) and the FSTRA (#1909-01). The use of TRB on animals was approved by Health Canada under the permit HC6-53-39-97 and HC6-70-242-8. ...
A good alternative would be plant-derived sources that contain high amounts of α-linolenic acid (ALA; 18:3n–3), the essential FA precursor of the n–3 FA family. Sources of ALA are widely available, and they range from vegetable oils derived from flaxseed, canola, and soybeans, to nu...
Plant-based diets, i.e. vegetarian or vegan diets, have become more and more popular in recent years, as a mean to reduce the environmental footprint of food consumption and to promote human health and animal welfare (Alcorta et al., 2021). Though vegetarians and vegans are still a minor...
Genes coding for the various types of polypeptides of interest, for example those identified above, may be obtained from a variety of procaryotic or eucaryotic sources, such as plant or animal cells or bacterial cells. Genes can be isolated from chromosomal material of eucaryotic or procaryotic...
