Therapeutic Efficacy of Stable Analogues of Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide against Pathogens [PDF]
, 2014 Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is an anti-inflammatory neuropeptide recently identified as a potential antimicrobial peptide. To overcome the metabolic limitations of VIP, we modified the native peptide sequence and generated two stable synthetic ...

Macrophages sense and kill bacteria through carbon monoxide-dependent inflammasome activation [PDF]
, 2014 Microbial clearance by eukaryotes relies on complex and coordinated processes that remain poorly understood. The gasotransmitter carbon monoxide (CO) is generated by the stress-responsive enzyme heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1, encoded by Hmox1), which is highly ...

Food Chemistry International, Volume 1, Issue 4, Page 453-467, December 2025.Probiotic Lactobacillus acidophilus strain LA01 was applied to bone powder fermentation. The adsorbable calcium, small peptides, and compounds with lipid‐lowering and antioxidant properties were greatly enriched. This study provided insights into the metabolism of probiotic fermentation and laid the scientific basis for development of value‐added ...

Mechanisms of Osteoblast‐Like Cells and Bacterial Responses to Copper in Titanium‐Copper Alloys
Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A, Volume 113, Issue 10, October 2025.ABSTRACT Titanium‐copper (Ti‐Cu) alloys are gaining attention for their dual functionality in promoting osteogenesis while providing antimicrobial protection, making them ideal candidates for dental and orthopedic implants. Copper's ability to enhance bone cell activity and inhibit bacterial growth could help address two critical challenges: successful
