Article Abstract

Microencapsulation, a typical core-shell structure technology, encapsulates functional active ingredients for protection, controlled release, and targeted delivery. In precise nutrition, the focus is on utilizing microcapsule delivery systems for personalized dietary supplements and disease intervention. This chapter outlines the morphological structure of microcapsules, common wall materials, and preparation techniques. It discusses the characteristics of different hydrophilic and lipophilic functional factors and their function as dietary supplements. The role of microencapsulation on the controlled release, odor masking, and enhanced bioavailability of functional factors is explored. Additionally, the application of microcapsule delivery systems in nutritional interventions for diseases like inflammatory bowel disease, alcoholic/fatty liver disease, diabetes, and cancer is introduced in detail. Lastly, the chapter proposes the future developments of anticipation in responsive wall materials for precise nutrition interventions, including both challenges and opportunities.

This paper explores the interrelations between medical specialisation, the changing division of medical labour and the technologies that have emerged to coordinate and integrate patient care. Drawing on the examples of the United Kingdom and the United States, countries whose health systems provide important points of commonality and distinction, I explore the intersections between the rise of medical specialisation and the creation of new medical and paramedical roles. These roles have often emerged as a palliative to the increasing fragmentation and atomisation of medical labour, to 'assist' overburdened clinicians and provide better coordinated and integrated patient care.

Degradation during production and delivery is a significant bottleneck in developing biomolecular therapies. Protein cages, formed by engineered variants of lumazine synthase, present an effective strategy for the microbial production and isolation of labile biomolecular therapies. Genetic fusion of the target polypeptide to a cage component protomer ensures its efficient encapsulation within the cage during production in host bacterial cells, thereby protecting it from degradation.

Obesity medications are recommended in England with legislation necessitating their availability. However, given the number of people who meet clinically approved eligibility criteria, funding these medications and associated support services may limit efficacy at a population health level. This study aimed to assess the commissioning and availability of services and obesity medications across England.
