Determination of Mannitol-2-dehydrogenase Activity

Bio-Protocol, 2015
Mannitol is a polyol that occurs in a wide range of living organisms, where it fulfills different physiological roles. Several pathways have been described for the metabolism of mannitol by bacteria, including the phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent ...

In vitro response of three contrasting cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) varieties to mannitol-induced drought stress

Agricultura Tropica et Subtropica, 2018
In vitro selection of drought-tolerant cassava varieties is essential for rapid breeding for drought tolerance. The objectives of this study were to determine the response of three contrasting cassava varieties to mannitol-induced drought stress to ...

Determination of Recombinant Mannitol-1-phosphatase Activity from Ectocarpus sp.

Bio-Protocol, 2016
Brown algae belong to a phylogenetic lineage distantly related to green plants and animals, and are found predominantly, but not exclusively, in the intertidal zone, a harsh and frequently changing environment.

Larval mannitol diets increase mortality, prolong development and decrease adult body sizes in fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster)

Biology Open, 2019
The ability of polyols to disrupt holometabolous insect development has not been studied and identifying compounds in food that affect insect development can further our understanding of the pathways that connect growth rate, developmental timing and ...

The Fabrication, Drug Loading, and Release Behavior of Porous Mannitol

Molecules
Porous materials are widely used as an effective strategy for the solubilization of insoluble drugs. In order to improve the solubility and bioavailability of low water-solubility drugs, it is necessary to prepare porous materials. Mannitol is one of the

MtlD as a therapeutic target for intestinal and systemic bacterial infections

Journal of Bacteriology
The ability to treat infections is threatened by the rapid emergence of antibiotic resistance among pathogenic microbes. Therefore, new antimicrobials are needed. Here we evaluate mannitol-1-phosphate 5-dehydrogenase (MtlD) as a potential new drug target.

Serum levels of periostin and exercise-induced bronchoconstriction in asthmatic children

World Allergy Organization Journal, 2019
Background: Periostin is induced by IL-13 and has been studied as a biomarker of asthma. The present study explored the relationship between serum levels of periostin and exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) in asthmatic children.

Cellular Responses to Mechanical Cues Across Scales: From Fundamental Insights to Translational Potential

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review examines how cellular behavior is regulated by mechanical cues transmitted through soft biomaterials, from single‐cell mechanosensing to tissue‐level adaptation. It highlights why physiological relevance, rather than model complexity alone, is critical for translational mechanobiology and introduces a scoring framework linking material ...

Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.
