    Article Snippet: This study investigated the effect of freezing and subsequent aging on beef quality, particularly focusing on the extent of postmortem proteolysis and tenderization.. The longissimus lumborum muscle was collected from 8 steers 24 h postmortem, sliced into 8 2.5-cm-thick steaks, and randomly allocated into 4 groups.. Treatment groups consisted of 1) aging at 4°C for 24 h; 2) aging for 168 h; 3) freezing at −20°C for 24 h followed by thawing/aging for 24 h; and 4) freezing for 24 h followed by thawing/aging for 168 h. In general, freezing decreased the color intensity of the steaks, whereas aging increased it (P< 0.05).

    We found that the C-terminus of IRS-1 undergoes phase separation through mediating self-association. Insulin/IGF signaling leads to tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 which promotes the formation of IRS-1 droplets and the recruitment of downstream effectors to form insulin/IGF signalosomes.
