Benzophenone Semicarbazones as Potential alpha-glucosidase and Prolyl Endopeptidase Inhibitor: In-vitro free radical scavenging, enzyme inhibition, mechanistic, and molecular docking studies [PDF]
$\alpha$-glucosidase and prolylendopeptidase has altered expression and activity patterns in neurological disease, type 2diabetes respectively and several cancers. Here we screened a series 1-29 benzophenone semicarbazone derivatives for in vitro free radical scavenging, alpha-glucosidase and prolylendopeptidase inhibition activities. Seven derivatives

Insights into PI3K/AKT signaling in B cell development and chronic lymphocytic leukemia
This Review explores how the phosphoinositide 3‐kinase and protein kinase B pathway shapes B cell development and drives chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a common blood cancer. It examines how signaling levels affect disease progression, addresses treatment challenges, and introduces novel experimental strategies to improve therapies and patient outcomes.

Enzyme promiscuity prediction using hierarchy-informed multi-label classification [PDF]
As experimental efforts are costly and time consuming, computational characterization of enzyme capabilities is an attractive alternative. We present and evaluate several machine-learning models to predict which of 983 distinct enzymes, as defined via the Enzyme Commission, EC, numbers, are likely to interact with a given query molecule.

Taurine promotes glucagon‐like peptide‐1 secretion in enteroendocrine L cells
Taurine, a sulfur‐containing amino acid, is likely taken up by enteroendocrine L cells via the taurine transporter. This process increases the levels of cytosolic ATP. The increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentrations and glucagon‐like peptide‐1 secretion through membrane depolarization is caused by the closure of ATP‐sensitive potassium channels ...
