Mediating effect of telomere length on relationship between lead and cadmium coexposure and blood glucose

环境与职业医学, 2022
BackgroundIndividual lead or cadmium exposure can cause abnormal blood glucose level and changes in telomere length, and the role of telomere length in the relationship between heavy metal joint exposure and blood glucose level is still unclear ...

Impact of soil cadmium on land snails: a two-stage exposure approach under semi-field conditions using bioaccumulative and conchological end-points of exposure.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Land snails are highly tolerant to cadmium exposure and are able to accumulate soil cadmium independently of food ingestion. However, little information exists on the kinetics of cadmium retention in terrestrial gastropods exposed to an increase in the ...

Elevated serum trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) and trimethyllysine in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS): An exploratory case–control study

IBRO Neuroscience Reports
Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is a gut microbiota–derived metabolite implicated in protein homeostasis, inflammation, and chronic disease, but its relevance in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) remains poorly characterized.

Cadmium in tobacco smokers: a neglected link to lung disease?

European Respiratory Review, 2018
Cadmium in tobacco smoke may contribute to the development of pulmonary emphysema. However, there is poor understanding of the mechanisms behind the pathogenic role of cadmium in this and other smoking-related lung diseases.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Identification of a Shiga toxin A‐derived peptide internalized into Gb3 receptor‐bearing cells via interaction with the Shiga toxin B subunit

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The process of internalization of the Shiga toxin A subunit via formation of a complex with the Shiga toxin B subunit, which specifically binds to the Gb3 receptor. The peptide is designed to act as a carrier of drugs into cancer cells. Here, we explored the potential of peptides derived from the catalytic A subunit of Shiga toxin (STxA) to be drug ...
