Optimization of CEST MRI Reporter Protein Design Using Cation‐Pi Networks

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A novel engineering approach can produce reporter proteins for cell and viral therapy tracking with unique magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signatures, detectable with chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST). We discover how cation‐π interactions between amino acid groups can help us fine‐tune magnetic resonance properties for noninvasive ...

PEK14: A Kinesin‐4 Necessary for Male‐Derived Fertility in Arabidopsis thaliana

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Of the 61 kinesins annotated in Arabidopsis thaliana, many are still without assigned function. Here, we have screened an insertional mutant library of Arabidopsis pollen‐expressed kinesins for fertility defects. Insertional mutants for three kinesins showed a significant reduction in seed set.

Impacts of large herbivores on mycorrhizal fungal communities across the Arctic

Ecography, EarlyView.
Mycorrhizal fungi play an integral role in nutrient and carbon cycling in soils, which may be especially important in the Arctic, one of the world's most soil carbon‐rich regions. Large mammalian herbivores can influence these fungi through their impacts on vegetation and soil conditions, however the strength and prevalence of these interactions in the

NGS-based Aspergillus detection in plasma and lung lavage of children with invasive pulmonary aspergillosis

npj Genomic Medicine
In immunocompromised pediatric patients, diagnosing invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) poses a significant challenge. Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) shows promise for detecting fungal DNA but lacks standardization.

Comparative Analysis of Fungal Communities and the Key “Golden‐Flower” Fungi in Fu Brick Tea From Seven Chinese Regions and Their Effects on the Quality of Summer‐Autumn Tea

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
This study systematically investigated 52 Fu brick tea (FBT) samples collected from seven representative regions in China. High‐through put sequencing revealed that Aspergillus, Wallemia, and Candida were the predominant fungal genera across the samples.

Protective Effects of Auricularia auricula Polysaccharides on Acute Lung Injury by Regulating Intestinal Flora and Metabolism

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
Auricularia auricula polysaccharides (AAP; 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg) protect against acute lung injury (ALI) by dose‐dependently remodeling the gut microbiota and modulating associated metabolic pathways via the gut‐lung axis, thereby enhancing pulmonary anti‐inflammatory and antioxidant capacity to ultimately prevent tissue damage.

Bioactive Phytochemical Compounds in Medicago sativa L. (Alfalfa): A Systematic Review of Biological Properties and Therapeutic Relevance in Nutraceutical and Functional Food Implications

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Medicago sativa L. (alfalfa) harbors a remarkably diverse reservoir of bioactive secondary metabolites. Flavonoids, isoflavones, and triterpenoid saponins dominate its bioactivity landscape, driving potent antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, antimicrobial, estrogenic, hypolipidemic, and cytotoxic actions through redox modulation, membrane ...

Modified Common Fungal DNA Extraction Buffer v1

This is a modified version of an extraction buffer that is widely used for fungal DNA extraction. It works very well. The high pH and EDTA will protect DNA from nuclease activity, even at room temperature for long periods of time. It is inexpensive and uses common reagents to make. A short example method is provided.

Insect‐Derived Bioactives for Glycemic Control and Gut Health: A Review

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
Insect‐derived bioactive compounds (e.g., peptides, polysaccharides) effectively regulate blood glucose through dual mechanisms: directly inhibiting carbohydrate‐digesting enzymes and glucose transporters, and indirectly modulating gut microbiota to enhance intestinal barrier integrity.

Protein Energy Malnutrition: Opportunities for Cold Plasma Technologies

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
Protein energy malnutrition (PEM) is a major global health concern driven by biological, environmental, and nutritional factors, including gut microbiota imbalance and low protein intake. Cold atmospheric plasma technologies offer promising, sustainable solutions by improving food security, enhancing protein quality and absorption, and modulating gut ...
