Identification and characterization of immunomodulatory peptides from pepsin–soy protein hydrolysates

open access: yesBioresources and Bioprocessing, 2022
To obtain immunomodulatory peptides from isolated soy protein (ISP), pepsin was selected to prepare hydrolysates and 4-h treatment (Pepsin-ISPH4h) showed the highest yield and immunomodulatory activities.

An Ultrapotent, Ultraeconomical, Antifreeze Polypeptide

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Simple and inexpensive polypeptides composed of random copolymers of alanine and glutamic acid are effective antifreezes for applications in foods and biomedicine. The polypeptides, inspired by natural extremophile proteins, inhibit the growth of large ice crystals and prevent damage to sensitive biologics.

Cytotoxicity and Induction of Inflammation by Pepsin in Acid in Bronchial Epithelial Cells

open access: yesInternational Journal of Inflammation, 2011
Introduction. Gastroesophageal reflux has been associated with chronic inflammatory diseases and may be a cause of airway remodelling. Aspiration of gastric fluids may cause damage to airway epithelial cells, not only because acidity is toxic to ...

Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) amylase and pepsin levels as potential biomarkers of aspiration pneumonia

open access: yesPulmonology, 2023
Background and objective There are currently no established markers for aspiration pneumonia. We hypothesized that bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) amylase and pepsin might be candidate biomarkers for aspiration pneumonia.Methods This cross-sectional study ...

Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy

open access: yesAdvanced 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.

Comparison of in vitro erosion protocols in bovine teeth to simulate natural erosion lesion: analysis of mechanical properties and surface gloss

open access: yesJournal of Applied Oral Science, 2019
Objective The aim of this study was to compare two in vitro erosion protocols, in which one simulates in vivo conditions experienced by patients with gastroesophageal disorders or bulimia (HCl-pepsin protocol), and the other simulates the diet of an ...

Usefulness of matrix metalloproteinase-7 in saliva as a diagnostic biomarker for laryngopharyngeal reflux disease

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Several diagnostic methods are currently being used to diagnose LPRD (laryngopharyngeal reflux disease), but have the disadvantage of being invasive, subjective, or expensive.

Targeting G3BP1 Condensate Topology Promotes Stress Granule Assembly via m6A‐IGF2BP1 for Ischemic Stroke Rescue

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Our research reveals that small‐molecule icariin (ICA) directly binds Ras‐GTPase‐activating protein SH3 domain‐binding protein 1 (G3BP1), inducing conformational change and oligomerization. This interaction confers neuroprotection by recruiting insulin‐like growth factor 2 mRNA‐binding protein 1 (IGF2BP1) and modulating N6‐methyladenosine (m6A ...
