Biosynthesis of microcystin hepatotoxins in the cyanobacterial genus Fischerella [PDF]
Microcystins (MCs) are serine/threonine phosphatase inhibitors synthesized by several members of the phylum Cyanobacteria. Mining the draft genome sequence of the nostocalean MC-producing Fischerella sp. strain CENA161 led to the identification of three contigs containing mcy genes.

This study identifies C4 as a lead inhibitor of the Lpt system. Notably, C4 potentiates colistin activity by disrupting LPS transport and remodeling phospholipid homeostasis, revealing a functional interplay between the Lpt and Mla systems. These findings establish a mechanistic link between Lpt inhibition and membrane lipid remodeling, positioning Lpt–

Transcription regulation of hepatotoxins microcystin and nodularin from cyanobacteria
The role and function of hepatotoxins microcystin and nodularin produced by M.aeruginosa PCC 7806 and N. spumigena NSORlO respectively have yet to be elucidated.

DPSCs, hepatocytes, and exosomes were tested for liver fibrosis therapy. Exosome‐based treatment exhibited superior antioxidative and regenerative effects. Liver enzymes, oxidative stress, and profibrotic markers were significantly reduced. α‐SMA, desmin, and related gene expression were downregulated.

Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) are emerging as multifunctional platforms for wound healing, integrating antimicrobial, anti‐inflammatory, and proregenerative activities. This review summarises key mechanisms and recent advances in SeNP‐enabled composite dressings, immunomodulatory nanocomposites, microenvironment‐responsive hydrogels, photothermal and ...

ABSTRACT Plants are important sources of bioactive compounds that contribute to nutrition, health maintenance, and disease prevention. In this study, the chemical composition and antioxidant potential of essential oils obtained from Lavandula angustifolia “Sevtopolis” and Lavandula × intermedia cultivated in the Silivri region of Istanbul were ...

A 57 year old man with chronic renal failure and cardiac tamponade who developed ischemic hepatitis
Ischemic hepatitis is an infrequent entity, usually associated with low cardiac out put. We present a case of a 57 year-old man with chronic renal failure and cardiac tamponade who developed elevation of serum alanine transferase level of 5,054 U/L ...
