  These notes aim to provide a deeper insight on the specifics of two articles
dealing with chemotaxis models with nonlinear production. More precisely, we
are referring to the papers "Boundedness of solutions to a quasilinear
parabolic-parabolic chemotaxis model with nonlinear signal production" by X.
Tao, S. Zhou and M. Ding [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 474:1 (2019) 733-747] and
"Boundedness for a fully parabolic Keller-Segel model with sublinear
segregation and superlinear aggregation" by S. Frassu and G. Viglialoro [Acta
Appl. Math. 171:1 (2021), 19]. These works, independently published in these
last years, present results leaving open room for further improvement. Indeed,
in the first a gap in the proof of the main claim appears, whereas the
cornerstone assumption in the second is not sharp. In these pages we give a
more complete picture to the relative underlying comprehension.
