Mixed Spices at Culinary Doses Have Prebiotic Effects in Healthy Adults: A Pilot Study. [PDF]

, 2019
Spices were used as food preservatives prior to the advent of refrigeration, suggesting the possibility of effects on microbiota. Previous studies have shown prebiotic activities in animals and in vitro, but there has not been a demonstration of ...

The Gut Commensal Butyricimonas Virosa Modulates Gut Microbiota‐Dependent Thiamine Metabolism and Attenuates Mouse Steatotic Liver Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that dietary stachyose enriches Butyricimonas virosa, effectively attenuating metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Mechanistically, B. virosa enhances gut thiamine monophosphate synthesis, which elevates hepatic thiamine pyrophosphate levels.

Multicohort Validation of Gut Microbiome Signatures for Cholangiocarcinoma Diagnosis and Functional Characterization of Bifidobacterium Pseudocatenulatum

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study analyzes gut bacteria in cholangiocarcinoma patients, revealing distinct microbial signatures that enable accurate disease detection. Species‐based diagnostic models achieved over 98% accuracy in identifying cholangiocarcinoma and distinguished it from other liver diseases. The research demonstrates that specific beneficial bacteria suppress

Butyrate Enhances Desensitization Induced by Oral Immunotherapy in Cow’s Milk Allergic Mice

Mediators of Inflammation, 2019
Background. In previous studies, we showed that a fructo-oligosaccharide- (FOS-) supplemented diet enhanced oral immunotherapy (OIT) efficacy in a mouse model for cow’s milk allergy. Fermentation of FOS by intestinal bacteria leads to production of short-

Insertion of T4-lysozyme (T4L) can be a useful tool for studying olfactory-related GPCRs. [PDF]

, 2012
The detergents used to solubilize GPCRs can make crystal growth the rate-limiting step in determining their structure. The Kobilka laboratory showed that insertion of T4-lysozyme (T4L) in the 3rd intracellular loop is a promising strategy towards ...

4‐Hydroxybenzyl Alcohol Mitigates Hyperlipidemia‐Associated Depression by Inhibiting Neuroinflammation via the NKIRAS2/NF‐κB Pathway

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
4‐HBA upregulates NKIRAS2 levels, inhibiting the activation of the NF‐κB pathway and subsequently reducing the levels of neuroinflammatory markers. This modulation helps restore normal mood and behavior in hyperlipidemic conditions, providing a potential therapeutic strategy for managing hyperlipidemia‐associated depression.

Para-cresol production by Clostridium difficile affects microbial diversity and membrane integrity of Gram-negative bacteria [PDF]

, 2018
Clostridium difficile is a Gram-positive spore-forming anaerobe and a major cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Disruption of the commensal microbiota, such as through treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics, is a critical precursor for ...

High‐Content SRS Imaging Unveils Altered Cholesterol Metabolism in Ovarian Cancers Under CAR‐T Treatment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
High‐content Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS) Imaging reveals that ovarian cancer cells surviving Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) ‐T cell challenge exhibit increased cholesterol esterification. Pharmacological inhibition of this pathway with Avasimibe significantly enhances CAR‐T induced killing of ovarian cancer cells by reducing cancer cell ...

Covalent Protein Inhibitors via Tyrosine and Tryptophan Conjugation with Cyclic Imine Mannich Electrophiles

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Targeted covalent inhibitors (TCI) containing cyclic imine warheads react with tyrosine and tryptophan residues via the Mannich reaction. These cyclic imine warheads show comparable reaction kinetics to cysteine‐reactive electrophiles commonly used in TCIs.
