Safety evaluation of the food enzyme containing aspergillopepsin I and carboxypeptidase C activities from the non-genetically modified <i>Aspergillus</i> sp. strain ACP 112-311. [PDF]

EFSA J
Abstract The food enzyme with aspergillopepsin I (EC 3.4.23.18) and carboxypeptidase C (EC 3.4.16.5) activities is produced with the non‐genetically modified Aspergillus sp. strain ACP 112–311 by Shin Nihon Chemical Co., Ltd. The food enzyme was considered free from viable cells of the production organism.

Protease‐Triggered Chromogenic Release From Peptide‐Modified Calcium Carbonate Microspheres Enables Colorimetric Detection of Porphyromonas gingivalis Activity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We report a chromogenic release‐based assay system with protease‐cleavage peptide‐modified calcium carbonate microspheres for colorimetric detection of Porphyromonas (P.) gingivalis activity. In response to Arg‐specific gingipain secreted by P. gingivalis, the supernatant becomes colored, enabling colorimetric analysis and providing the monitoring of ...

Hybrid Macrocyclic Peptides — Synthetic Strategies to Diversify and Cyclize Peptide Libraries in Phage Display Selections

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Hybrid macrocyclic peptides unite genetically encoded peptide libraries with the structural complexity of synthetic small molecules. This Review critically analyzes phage‐compatible cyclization and diversification chemistries, highlights emerging opportunities beyond traditional cysteine‐based approaches, and outlines how future advances may enable the

Microbial Interventions in Processing of Plant Based Proteins: Unlocking Extraction Dynamics and Functionality for Human Health

Food Bioengineering, EarlyView.
Fermentation enhances nutritional & techno‐functional properties of plant protein. Three distinct stages of fermentation impact on different aspects of plant protein. Fermentation induces flavors modulation through new organic compounds formation. Plant protein fermentation improves their utility in food applications.

Plasmepsins as Antimalarial Drug Targets—Then, Now, and the Future

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Malaria is a devastating disease caused by Plasmodium parasites. Plasmodium parasites express ten cathepsin D‐like aspartyl proteases, called plasmepsins (PMs). These PMs have diverse roles fulfill diverse functions throughout the parasite's lifecycle, though several exhibit functional redundancies. Among them, PMV, PMIV, and PMX are essential

Porphyromonas gingivalis GroEL accelerates abdominal aortic aneurysm formation by matrix metalloproteinase‐2 SUMOylation in vascular smooth muscle cells: A novel finding for the activation of MMP‐2

Molecular Oral Microbiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Infection is a known cause of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and matrix metalloproteases‐2 (MMP‐2) secreted by vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) plays a key role in the structural disruption of the middle layer of the arteries during AAA progression.

Impact of Lactic Acid Bacteria Fermentation on the Nutritional and Sensory Quality of Arthrospira platensis Beverages

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
To improve the consumer appeal of Arthrospira platensis, this study utilized probiotic fermentation to mitigate its strong seaweed‐like aroma. Using Lactiplantibacillus plantarum significantly boosted amino acids, introduced novel volatiles, and enhanced umami flavors.

Seaweed‐Derived Proteolytic Extracts as Natural Interfacial Stabilizers for Oxidatively Sensitive DHA‐Rich Oil‐in‐Water Emulsions

European Journal of Lipid Science and Technology, Volume 128, Issue 8, August 2026.
Red seaweed extracts have potential to protect DHA‐rich emulsions against oxidation while maintaining their physical stability. Their combined antioxidant and interfacial properties make them promising clean‐label ingredients for omega‐3‐enriched foods.

Aerobic Endurance Training Modulates Cardiac Renin‐Angiotensin System Peptides and Matrix Metalloproteinase Activity During Chronic Stress

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 30, Issue 15, August 2026.
ABSTRACT To investigate the involvement of metalloproteinases (MMPs) in the context of endurance training and their interactions with renin‐angiotensin signalling (RAS) in stress‐induced pathophysiological responses. Trained rats were submitted to 8‐weeks of endurance treadmill training with chronic mild stress (CMS), TS rats, and without CMS (T).

Proteolysis at the extracellular matrix interface: Molecular architects and regulators in health and disease

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 13, Page 3758-3787, July 2026.
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a dynamic scaffold that orchestrates tissue architecture and cellular communication. A critical but underexplored interplay between proteases and cluster of differentiation molecules (CD) governs ECM turnover and directs cell fate.
