Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.This review synthesizes 94 studies (2000–2025) exploring edible insects as sustainable sources of peptides, lipids, and chitin. Utilizing “green” extraction, these bioactives offer antioxidant and antimicrobial benefits for functional foods. However, addressing safety concerns like allergenicity and heavy metals through standardized frameworks remains ...

Helical Structure of Recombinant Melittin [PDF]
The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2018 Melittin is an extensively studied, 26-residue toxic peptide from honey bee venom. Because of its versatility in adopting a variety of secondary (helix or coil) and quaternary (monomer or tetramer) structures in various environments, melittin has been the focus of numerous investigations as a model peptide in protein folding studies as well as in ...

Targeting the intratumoral microbiota to overcome cancer immunotherapy resistance
Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.This review delineates the mechanisms of intratumoral microbiota in cancer immunotherapy resistance, and offers strategies for microbiota‐targeted precision immunotherapy. Abstract Cancer remains a significant global health threat. The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a sophisticated ecological niche that exerts a pivotal effect on treatment outcomes ...

Effects of melittin on laying performance and intestinal barrier function of quails
Poultry Science, 2023 : To study the effects of melittin on egg-laying performance and intestinal barrier of quails, 240 quails (aged 70 d) were randomly divided into 4 groups with 6 replicates (10 quails per replicate). They were fed with basal diet (group B), basal diet + 0.

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.In this work, silver nanoparticles encapsulated within quatsome membranes have shown to preserve their plasmonic properties for at least 165 days without aggregation. These hybrid nanostructures enable strong SERS enhancement of pyrene and Prodan by confining the molecules within a few nanometers from the silver surface.

Advancing Therapies for Mycobacterial Diseases: From Small Molecules to Host‐Directed Strategies
Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The global burden of multidrug‐resistant tuberculosis (MDR‐TB) and the rising incidence of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections highlight the urgent need for innovative therapeutic strategies. Current treatments are prolonged, toxic, and increasingly compromised by resistance and limited diagnostic capacity.
