Nicole Kidman has publicly admitted (on several occasions) to being a not-great cook. But having created a dish so tasty that it was included in Paul Newman’s 1998 Newman’s Own Cookbook, we think the award-winning actress is actually a better cook than she might think.

After upstream bioprocessing, such as developing a cell line or microorganism that can produce an intended product, a bioprocessor turns to downstream steps to capture and purify that product, as well as subjecting it to quality control (QC). Upstream and downstream processes both contain bottlenecks—in some cases, upstream improvements can even exacerbate downstream bottlenecks. GEN asked several experts to describe the most important downstream bottlenecks and how they address them. “The first step is to identify the bottleneck and its root cause,” write Cytiva’s Silke Steinhilber, PhD, director of product management, filtration, hardware, and consumables, and Ruth de la Fuente…

As an avid home cook and former pro baker, I’ve always looked at onions as a flavor builder more than anything else. They’re the foundation of many recipes, and they can even improve your health, according to researchers. When you eat them regularly, onions can potentially support your digestive, heart and eye health. Onions also naturally possess antibacterial properties, and they may be able to lower your cancer risk..  All of that for a root vegetable? Yes. But, they’re only as good as they are fresh. A spoiled onion is one that’s overly sprouted, soft, dry or moldy, and it’s…

Shorter storage durations of donor human milk may reduce gastrointestinal complications in premature infants, including necrotizing enterocolitis, according to new research. Minimizing milk storage time may help preserve protective properties that are critical for preterm gut health.The researchers believe their findings may necessitate updated WHO and CDC guidance, as both currently advise that frozen milk can be stored safely for up to a year for all babies. “Our results showed that babies weren’t as protected with the use of donor milk that was stored for a longer time as with donor milk that was stored for shorter periods of time,”…

High blood pressure is a common condition that has both genetic and lifestyle components.Limiting sodium is integral to managing blood pressure, including sodium in ultra-processed foods.Physical activity and managing stressors are other habits that influence blood pressure. If you’re one of the 120 million American adults with high blood pressure, there are numerous steps you can take to lower it, including reducing the amount of salt you eat. “Sodium is a major preventable driver of blood pressure variation,” says David L. Katz, M.D. a specialist in internal and preventive medicine with expertise in nutrition. But there’s more to reducing sodium…
