Enantio-selective analytical method for ergothioneine using chemical tagging coupled with LC-MS/MS and D/L ratio measurements in mushrooms

Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis Open
Ergothioneine (EGT), a strong natural antioxidant, is a promising healthcare product owing to its anti-aging activity. EGT is found in various mushrooms, and investigations into its quantity and properties, including chirality, are important from a ...

Synthesis of Sulfides and Persulfides Is Not Impeded by Disruption of Three Canonical Enzymes in Sulfur Metabolism

Antioxidants, 2023
Reactive sulfur species, or persulfides and polysulfides, such as cysteine hydropersulfide and glutathione persulfide, are endogenously produced in abundance in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, including mammals.

The Preservation of Muscle Mitochondrial Machinery During Hypometabolic Hibernation in Scandinavian Brown Bears (Ursus arctos)

Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Unlike humans, brown bears (Ursus arctos) uniquely preserve skeletal muscle mass and function during months of hibernation despite prolonged fasting and inactivity. We investigated how mitochondrial energetics respond in skeletal muscle to support this remarkable resilience.

Clonal Stabilization Reveals a DAO/3MST‐Expressing MDCK Subpopulation With Robust d‐Cysteine‐Mediated H2S Production

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 6, 31 March 2026.
A subpopulation of MDCK (NBL‐2) cells, an epithelial cell line derived from the normal kidney, expresses DAO and 3MST. The DAO/3MST‐expressing cells are progressively eliminated during passaging; however, clonal isolation enables the establishment of sublines that maintain stable H2S production. Clonal cells co‐expressing DAO and 3MST therefore provide

Lifespan‐Extending Endogenous Metabolites

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 2, February 2026.
Endogenous metabolites act as mediators of longevity by modulating conserved cellular pathways. We summarize mechanistic evidence linking specific metabolites to lifespan and healthspan benefits across model systems, with discussion of clinical evidence, translational opportunities, and remaining knowledge gaps.

Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) as a Potential Source of Interference in Research Related to Sulfur Metabolism—A Preliminary Study

Antioxidants
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), an organosulfur compound, is widely used as the gold standard solvent in biological research. It is used in cell culture experiments and as a component of formulations in in vivo studies.

NRF2 signalling in cytoprotection and metabolism

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 1, Page 101-114, January 2026.
The KEAP1‐NRF2 system plays a central role in cytoprotection in defence mechanisms against oxidative stress. The KEAP1‐NRF2 system has been regarded as a sulfur‐utilizing cytoprotective mechanism, because KEAP1 serves as a biosensor for electrophiles by using its reactive thiols and NRF2 is a transcriptional factor regulating genes involved in sulfur ...

Supersulfide biology and translational medicine for disease control

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 1, Page 115-130, January 2026.
Abstract For decades, the major focus of redox biology has been oxygen, the most abundant element on Earth. Molecular oxygen functions as the final electron acceptor in the mitochondrial respiratory chain, contributing to energy production in aerobic organisms. In addition, oxygen‐derived reactive oxygen species including hydrogen peroxide and nitrogen
