Liver Kinase B1 in CD11c+ Cells Inhibits Fibrosis in Chronic Pancreatitis via the Oncostatin M Signaling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates significantly reduced Lkb1 expression in CD11c+ cells in chronic pancreatitis (CP) patients and animal models. Lkb1 deletion enhances CD11c+CD206+ macrophage infiltration and reprograms pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) via OSM signaling.

Isolation and identification of Bacillus producing thermophilic alpha amylase: production optimization and investigation of the activity and stability of enzyme.

یافته‌های نوین در علوم زیستی, 2018
Alpha-amylases are the most important amylases used in industry. Among them, thermophilic alpha-amylases are of particular importance, which is due to their activity and stability in high temperatures.

Multi-copy alpha-amylase genes are crucial for Ditylenchus destructor to parasitize the plant host.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Ditylenchus destructor is a migratory plant-parasitic nematode that causes huge damage to global root and tuber production annually. The main plant hosts of D. destructor contain plenty of starch, which makes the parasitic environment of D. destructor to

AS‐pHopt: An Optimal pH Prediction Model Enhanced by Active Site of Enzymes

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
To address the low accuracy of enzyme optimal pH (pHopt) prediction, this study develops active site‐based pHopt (AS‐pHopt), a prediction model enhanced by active site information and pseudo‐label prediction. Integrating key structural and physicochemical features affecting enzyme pHopt, AS‐pHopt uses Evolutionary Scale Modeling (ESM)‐2 with active ...

Salivary cortisol and alpha-amylase levels during an assessment procedure correlate differently with risk-taking measures in male and female police recruits

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2014
Recent laboratory studies have shown that men display more risk-taking behaviour in decision-making tasks following stress, whilst women are more risk-aversive or become more task-focussed.

Effect of Immobilization Method on Activity of Alpha-Amylase [PDF]

, 2007
In this study, alpha-amylase is immobilized by surface binding or by physical entrapment using calcium alginate gel beads. The objectives are to compare the effects of immobilization method and the bead size on the activity of immobilized alpha-amylase.
