Whey-derived peptides interactions with ACE by molecular docking as a potential predictive tool of natural ACE inhibitors [PDF]
, 2020 Several milk/whey derived peptides possess high in vitro angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity. However, in some cases, poor correlation between the in vitro ACE inhibitory activity and the in vivo antihypertensive activity has been ...

Regulation of airway neurogenic inflammation by neutral endopeptidase [PDF]
European Respiratory Journal, 1998 Airway neurogenic inflammation is caused by tachykinins released from peripheral nerve endings of sensory neurons within the airways, and is characterized by plasma protein extravasation, airway smooth muscle contraction and increased secretion of mucus.

The role of lipid metabolism in neuronal senescence
FEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 5, Page 857-869, May 2026.Disrupted lipid metabolism, through alterations in lipid species or lipid droplet accumulation, can drive neuronal senescence. However, lipid dyshomeostasis can also occur alongside neuronal senescence, further amplifying tissue damage. Delineating how lipid‐induced senescence emerges in neurons and glial cells, and how it contributes to ageing and ...

Abi3S212F Alzheimer's disease variant alters plaque structure and disrupts microglia
Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract BACKGROUND Genetic variants affecting microglial function can influence Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The AD‐associated ABI3S209F (Abi3S212F in mouse) variant regulates cytoskeletal dynamics, but its in vivo impact on pathology is unknown. METHODS: An Abi3S212F mouse was developed and crossed with
