Molecular characterization and imidacloprid selectivity of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunits from the peach-potato aphid Myzus persicae

, 1999
The recent introduction of the chloronicotinyl insecticide imidacloprid, targeting insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), emphasises the importance of a detailed molecular characterisation of these receptors.

Beyond Gut Modulation: A Critical Review of the Therapeutic Potential, Safety, and Clinical Prospects of Natural Polysaccharides for IBD

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
In this review, we critically summarized the application of natural polysaccharides (NPs) for the treatment of IBD. This approach combines, in a unique way (right), the basic structure–activity relationships of NPs from different origins (left) with their multipronged mode of action, which involves modulation of the gut microbiota and other ...

Progress in the Role of Mast Cells and Biomolecular Signals in the Mechanism of Postoperative Ileus: From Cellular Activation to Exploration of the Brain–Gut Axis

Gut Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Postoperative ileus (POI) is a frequent complication after surgical procedures, predominantly manifesting as aberrant gastrointestinal motility, which markedly extends the duration of postoperative recovery for patients. The clinical duration of POI is typically modulated by intricate inflammatory cascades, with mast cells assuming a critical ...

Comparison of Healthcare Utilization Before Diagnosis Between Non‐Advanced and Advanced Lung Cancer Patients: A Study Among 72,851 Cases in Germany

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is no study from Germany on the association between stage of lung cancer (LC) and patient characteristics. We aimed to compare advanced versus non‐advanced LC cases regarding indicators of healthcare utilization. Using claims data covering 20% of the German population, we included LC patients diagnosed between 2013 and 2019.

Epigenetic Predictors of Smoking: External Validation and Association With Smoking‐Related Cancer Risk

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tobacco smoking has a strong influence on DNA methylation (DNAm), enabling the development of DNAm‐based smoking predictors, yet external evaluations of these have remained limited. We aimed to assess six DNAm‐based smoking predictors in a large sample of middle‐aged and older Australians for (i) their accuracy and reliability, and (ii) their ...

Gut Enterococcus faecium derived leucic acid mediates the antiobesity effect of dietary fiber

iMeta, EarlyView.
This study identified Enterococcus faecium as a gut bacterium with anti‐obesity activity, which alleviated adipocyte hypertrophy, dyslipidemia, and hepatic steatosis by converting leucine into leucic acid (LEA) to regulate mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation.
