Fractalkine activates NRF2/NFE2L2 and heme oxygenase 1 to restrain tauopathy-induced microgliosis.
The chemokine fractalkine modulates microglial responses in neurodegenerative diseases, including tauopathies, but the mechanistic processes and their relevance in human brain pathologies is not yet known.

Signaling function of heme oxygenase proteins.
SIGNIFICANCE Many reports have underscored the importance of the heme degradation pathway that is regulated by heme oxygenase (HO). This reaction releases bile pigments and carbon monoxide (CO), which are important antioxidant and signaling molecules ...

Depending on the pendant atom present in the N‐alkylated cyclam (1,4,8,11‐tetraazacyclotetradecane) based ligand framework, substantially altered conformations of the non‐heme iron(IV)‐oxo intermediates are revealed. Abstract The effect of a pendant neutral alcohol moiety in the N‐alkylated cyclam (1,4,8,11‐tetraazacyclotetradecane) ligand backbone is ...

Off-resonant coherent electron transport over three nanometers in multi-heme protein bioelectronic junctions [PDF]
Multi-heme cytochromes (MHC) are fascinating proteins used by bacterial organisms to shuttle electrons within and between their cells. When placed in a solid state electronic junction, they support temperature-independent currents over several nanometers that are three orders of magnitude higher compared to other redox proteins of comparable size.

Heme oxygenase-1 and acute kidney injury
Purpose of review Heme oxygenase activity, possessed by an inducible heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and a constitutive isoform (HO-2), catalyzes the conversion of heme to biliverdin, liberates iron, and generates carbon monoxide.

The efficacy of PDE5 inhibitors in diabetic patients
Abstract Background Phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors (PDE5i), since their introduction in the late 1990s, have proven their efficacy in treating several conditions, predominantly pulmonary hypertension and erectile dysfunction where they remain the first‐line therapeutic option.

An artificial enzymatic cascade to access natural vanillin from eugenol/clove oil was developed by revisiting the very first vanillin synthetic process from 19th century. The biosynthetic route consists of just two biocatalysts used as cell‐free preparation and molecular oxygen as oxidizing agent, outperforming also the natural microbial pathway which ...
