Urinary aminopeptidase activities as early and predictive biomarkers of renal dysfunction in cisplatin-treated rats. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
This study analyzes the fluorimetric determination of alanyl- (Ala), glutamyl- (Glu), leucyl-cystinyl- (Cys) and aspartyl-aminopeptidase (AspAp) urinary enzymatic activities as early and predictive biomarkers of renal dysfunction in cisplatin-treated ...

Grape Exosome-Like Nanovesicles Reverse the Prediabetic State in Mice. [PDF]

J Diabetes Res
Objective This research explored the effect of grape exosome–like nanovesicles (GELNs) on reversing prediabetic conditions in mice and investigated the underlying mechanisms via metabolomic and gut microbiota analyses. Methods Twenty‐four C57BL/6J mice were divided into four groups: normal control, prediabetic model, GELN intervention, and nutrient ...

Determination of the species among mitis group of genus Streptococus using a molecular identification key [PDF]

Zbornik Matice Srpske za Prirodne Nauke, 2012
We analyzed the gene order conservation among the species of genus Streptococcus and based on this we developed a molecular identification key. The identification key was not made up based on the genes’ amino acid or nucleotide sequences but on the ...

Wildfire strengthens the relationship between soil biodiversity and ecosystem multifunctionality in subtropical forests

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1415-1427, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Wildfires are disrupting and regenerating forces in nature that affect all ecosystem components. However, the impact of wildfires on soil multitrophic biodiversity and the resulting consequences for ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF) remain poorly understood.

TrpM, a Small Protein Modulating Tryptophan Biosynthesis and Morpho-Physiological Differentiation in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
In the model actinomycete Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2), small open reading frames encoding proteins with unknown functions were identified in several amino acid biosynthetic gene operons, such as SCO2038 (trpX) in the tryptophan trpCXBA locus.

A leucine aminopeptidase is involved in kinetoplast DNA segregation in Trypanosoma brucei.

PLoS Pathogens, 2017
The kinetoplast (k), the uniquely packaged mitochondrial DNA of trypanosomatid protists is formed by a catenated network of minicircles and maxicircles that divide and segregate once each cell cycle.

Mechanisms of Aristolochic Acid Resistance in Specialist Butterflies and Evolutionary Insights for Potential Protective Pathways

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 19, 2 April 2026.
The study provides an extreme example of insect adaptation to highly toxic defenses of host plants, and investigates the complex strategies to resist carcinogenic aristolochic acids, including physical isolation, metabolic detoxification, and DNA repair.

Microbial Resistance and Resilience to Short‐Term Drought Varies Among Grasslands Spanning a Broad Precipitation Gradient

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 2, April-June 2026.
ABSTRACT Drought is increasing in severity and duration across the United States, particularly in arid and semi‐arid regions. Previous research has shown that drought has strong impacts in drier versus more mesic regions for aboveground productivity.

Effects of melatonin and metformin in preventing lysosome-induced autophagy and oxidative stress in rat models of carcinogenesis and the impact of high-fat diet

Scientific Reports, 2022
Imbalanced glucose tolerance and insulin resistance remain important as high cancer risk factors. Metformin administration to diabetic patients may be associated with a reduced risk of malignancy.
