Curcumin, Gut Microbiota, and Neuroprotection [PDF]

Nutrients, 2019
Curcumin, a nontoxic, naturally occurring polyphenol, has been recently proposed for the management of neurodegenerative and neurological diseases. However, a discrepancy exists between the well-documented pharmacological activities that curcumin seems to possess in vivo and its poor aqueous solubility, bioavailability, and pharmacokinetic profiles ...

Para-cresol production by Clostridium difficile affects microbial diversity and membrane integrity of Gram-negative bacteria [PDF]

, 2018
Clostridium difficile is a Gram-positive spore-forming anaerobe and a major cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Disruption of the commensal microbiota, such as through treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics, is a critical precursor for ...

Insect‐Microbe‐Based Laccase: Untapped Natural Resource for Industrial and Biotechnological Applications

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
The insect‐microbe interplay fulfills a key ecological role involving the degradation of ligninocellulose biomass. This is coordinated by the secretion of different kinds of proteins, of which ligninolytic enzymes, such as laccases (Lacs), are of prime importance.

New use of an old drug: mechanism of oseltamivir phosphate inhibiting liver cancer through regulation of lipophagy via NEU1

Frontiers in Pharmacology
BackgroundNeuraminidase-1 (NEU1) is an enzyme that breaks down sialic acids on glycoproteins and glycolipids. Aberrant expression of NEU1 has been linked to the progression of numerous malignancies, including liver cancer. Oseltamivir phosphate (OP) is a

Tryptophan Metabolite Indole‐3‐Aldehyde Induces AhR and c‐MYC Degradation to Promote Tumor Immunogenicity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Tryptophan metabolite Indole‐3‐aldehyde (I3A) downregulates cytosolic AhR and p‐ERK/c‐MYC proteins, together enhancing STAT3 phosphorylation and tumor immunogenicity. Overexpression of the Trp metabolic enzyme interleukin‐4‐induced gene‐1 (IL4I1) in tumor cells increases intracellular levels of I3A and enhances tumor immunogenicity.
