FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Bone metastasis in prostate cancer (PCa) patients is a clinical hurdle due to the poor understanding of the supportive bone microenvironment. Here, we identify stearoyl‐CoA desaturase (SCD) as a tumor‐promoting enzyme and potential therapeutic target in bone metastatic PCa.

A Role for Secondary Metabolites in Desiccation Tolerance in Lichens
Microbiology ResearchIn lichens, secondary metabolites have been shown to protect against biotic stresses such as pathogen attacks and grazing, and abiotic stresses such as ultraviolet (UV) and high photosynthetically active radiation (PAR).

A nitric oxide synthase transgene ameliorates muscular dystrophy in mdx mice. [PDF]
, 2001 Dystrophin-deficient muscles experience large reductions in expression of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), which suggests that NO deficiency may influence the dystrophic pathology.

Punicalagin Damages the Membrane of Salmonella Typhimurium
Journal of Food Protection, 2020 Salmonella, a bacterial foodborne pathogen, can contaminate meat, milk, and vegetables. While appropriate measures are available to control Salmonella, the inhibitory phytochemicals from plants are gaining increased attention. Punicalagin, a natural antimicrobial, is one of the main active tannins isolated from Punica granatum L.

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Membrane charge and lipid packing determine polymyxin-induced membrane damage
Communications Biology, 2019 AbstractWith the advent of polymyxin B (PmB) resistance in bacteria, the mechanisms for mcr-1 resistance are of crucial importance in the design of novel therapeutics. The mcr-1 phenotype is known to decrease membrane charge and increase membrane packing by modification of the bacterial outer membrane.
