From Membrane Composition to Antimicrobial Strategies: Experimental and Computational Approaches to AMP Design and Selectivity

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising candidates for next‐generation antibiotics, acting through mechanisms such as membrane disruption and intracellular targeting. This review examines how variations in bacterial membrane composition critically influence AMP activity.

Fluorophore Modulates Intracellular Distribution of Enzyme‐Instructed Self‐Assembly of Short Peptides in Osteosarcoma Cells

open access: yesSmall Methods, EarlyView.
Fluorophores at the peptide C‐terminus reprogram EISA behavior in osteosarcoma cellsshifting ER vs mitochondrial targeting, altering assembly, and tuning cytotoxicity. Abstract Enzyme‐instructed self‐assembly (EISA) of peptides offers a versatile strategy for developing intracellular nanomedicines, yet the role of C‐terminus fluorophores in modulating ...

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

open access: yesFood 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 ...

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

open access: yesIntegrative 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

Cellular Stress, Inflammation and Barrier Damage in Gut Epithelial Cells Caused by Aspartame

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
This study shows that aspartame, at dietary‐relevant doses, induces cytotoxicity, cellular distress associated with endoplasmic reticulum stress, oxidative stress, DNA replication and repair mechanism disturbance culminating in epithelial barrier damage.
