Toll‐like receptors in mammalian sperm
Reproductive Medicine and Biology, Volume 24, Issue 1, January/December 2025.Abstract Background Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) are critical components of the innate immune system and are expressed in various cells, including the reproductive system. Although their roles in female reproductive tissues such as the ovaries and uterus, including their involvement in fertilization and implantation, have been extensively reviewed, their

From Antibiotics to Probiotics: Sustainable Disease Management in Nile Tilapia Aquaculture
Advanced Gut &Microbiome Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.Aquaculture is essential for global food security. Yet disease outbreaks in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) farms cause considerable economic losses and environmental damage. Overuse of antibiotics has exacerbated antimicrobial resistance (AMR), necessitating sustainable alternatives such as probiotics. This review synthesizes data from 79 studies

Cavity‐Based Discovery of New Fatty Acid Photodecarboxylases
ChemBioChem, Volume 25, Issue 24, December 16, 2024.Fatty acid photodecarboxylases (FAPs) show biotechnological promise by producing alka(e)nes from natural fatty acids. Using a cavity based search, 30 distant or unrelated enzymes with potential FAP‐activity were identified either from the PDB‘s flavoproteins of from homology models. Docking experiments and in vitro characterization led to the discovery
