Rethinking plastic waste: innovations in enzymatic breakdown of oil‐based polyesters and bioplastics
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Plastic pollution remains a critical environmental challenge, and current mechanical and chemical recycling methods are insufficient to achieve a fully circular economy. This review highlights recent breakthroughs in the enzymatic depolymerization of both oil‐derived polyesters and bioplastics, including high‐throughput protein engineering, de novo ...

Systemic inflammation, body composition, and physical performance in old community-dwellers [PDF]
, 2017 Background Chronic inflammation, changes in body composition, and declining physical function are hallmarks of the ageing process. The aim of the present study was to provide a preliminary characterisation of the relationship among these age-related ...

Targeting RAGE prevents muscle wasting and prolongs survival in cancer cachexia [PDF]
, 2020 Background: Cachexia, a multifactorial syndrome affecting more than 50% of patients with advanced cancer and responsible for ~20% of cancer-associated deaths, is still a poorly understood process without a standard cure available. Skeletal muscle atrophy

Understanding the common mechanisms of heart and skeletal muscle wasting in cancer cachexia
Oncogenesis, 2021 Cachexia is a severe complication of cancer that adversely affects the course of the disease, with currently no effective treatments. It is characterized by a progressive atrophy of skeletal muscle and adipose tissue, resulting in weight loss, a reduced ...

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Aged human bmMSCs are seeded in the scaffold. Osteoblastic induction can slightly increase cell's bone‐forming activity to produce bone‐like tissues, shown as the sporadic xylenol orange‐stained spots (the lower left image). Notably, pioglitazone plus EGCG co‐treatment dramatically increases cell's bone‐forming activity and bone‐like tissue production (

Determining the role of tumor-derived leukemia inhibitory factor in cancer cachexia using a genetic approach [PDF]
, 2018 Cachexia is a multifactorial metabolic wasting syndrome that affects a large percentage of cancer patients and results in the involuntary loss of skeletal muscle and adipose tissue.

Enzymatic degradation of biopolymers in amorphous and molten states: mechanisms and applications
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.This review explains how polymer morphology and thermal state shape enzymatic degradation pathways, comparing amorphous and molten biopolymer structures. By integrating structure–reactivity principles with insights from thermodynamics and enzyme engineering, it highlights mechanisms that enable efficient polymer breakdown.

Cancer cachexia: Focus on cachexia factors and inter-organ communication
Chinese Medical Journal. Cancer cachexia is a multi-organ syndrome and closely related to changes in signal communication between organs, which is mediated by cancer cachexia factors. Cancer cachexia factors, being the general name of inflammatory factors, circulating proteins,
