One‐Pot Fabrication of Pentapeptide Bio‐Aerogel via Direct Alcogelation

Small, EarlyView.
A minimal tachykinin‐inspired pentapeptide (TC‐1) self‐assembles in water and ethanol to form robust gels that can be dried in one pot to ultra‐porous aerogels using supercritical carbon dioxide. Solvent choice programs nanoscale packing and bulk mechanics producing lightweight monoliths with high porosity for biomaterials applications, verified by ...

Integrative Bioinformatics, Experimental Validation, and Interpretable Machine Learning Reveal Oxyresveratrol‐Mediated Protection Against Cadmium‐Induced Lung Adenocarcinoma‐Related Transcriptional Dysregulation

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal strongly implicated in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) through mechanisms involving oxidative stress, epigenetic dysregulation, and chronic inflammation. This study aimed to identify Cd‐responsive genes associated with LUAD and to evaluate the protective effects of oxyresveratrol (O‐RES) against Cd‐induced ...

The relevance of dipeptides and tripeptides in the bioactivity and taste of dry-cured ham

Food Production, Processing and Nutrition, 2019
Dry-cured ham has been described as a good source of bioactive peptides and taste-active compounds. Some of them are dipeptides and tripeptides that are released in a large amount from different muscle proteins due to the action of exopeptidases during ...

Tree species identity is associated with rhizosphere microbiome assembly via root metabolite‐mediated feedbacks in subtropical forests

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The rhizosphere microbiome is critical for forest ecological functions, yet the mechanisms through which tree species identity and neighbour tree interactions are associated with its assembly remain poorly understood.

Blubber Thickening Driven by UCP1 Inactivation: Insights from a Cetacean‐Like Transgenic Mouse Model

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
UCP1 inactivation of cetaceans in mice drives BAT whitening and iWAT hyperplasia, promoting fat accumulation for aquatic adaptation. Abstract Cetaceans possess thick blubber, a specialized adipose tissue essential for thermal insulation, a streamlined body form, energy storage, and buoyancy. However, the mechanisms that underpin this adaptation are not

Employing Molecular Dynamics Simulations to Explore the Behavior of Diphenylalanine Dipeptides in Graphene-Based Nanocomposite Systems

Inorganics
Utilizing all-atom molecular dynamics simulations, in the current study, we examine how three different graphene-based nanosheets (pristine graphene, graphene oxide and edge-functionalized graphene) impact the self-assembly mechanism of diphenylalanine ...

Long non‐coding RNAs at the crossroads of inflammation, cancer and angiogenesis: Molecular mechanisms and their potential as therapeutic targets

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs), a broad class of non‐protein‐coding RNAs, are characterized as new regulators of gene expression at the epigenetic, transcriptional, and post‐transcriptional level. Thus, lncRNAs are involved in the regulation of physiological processes and the development of human diseases and cancer by modulating proinflammatory ...

Selective excitatory effects of γ‐glutamyl‐glycine, a glutathione metabolite, on GluN1 NMDA and mGlu5 receptors impacting synaptic plasticity

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Gamma‐glutamyl dipeptides are essentially produced after glutathione (GSH) degradation. While several γ‐glutamyl dipeptides have been detected in different organs and body fluids, their biological activity remains elusive. This is the case for γ‐Glutamyl‐Glycine (γ‐Glu‐Gly) which has been found in different brain areas.

Protective effects of extracellular vesicle‐like nanoparticles derived from Cannabis sativa adventitious roots against UVB‐induced damage in human keratinocytes

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Cannabis sativa root‐derived extracellular vesicle‐like nanoparticles (CA‐NPs) were isolated from adventitious root cultures and subjected to physicochemical characterization. Upon UVB exposure, keratinocytes exhibited increased ROS generation, apoptosis and MAPK activation, leading to oxidative stress and skin damage.
