Innovation of plant‐derived extracellular vesicles and interdisciplinary research: From discovery to biomedical applications

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Plant‐derived extracellular vesicles offer numerous advantages and are regarded as highly promising candidates in the field of biomedicine. Abstract Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are double‐membrane vesicular structures that can be secreted by nearly all living cells.

Dietary Artificial Sweeteners: From Chemical Transformation in Food to Gut Microbial Processing

ChemFoodChem, EarlyView.
This review article unites classical and recent findings on the stability of artificial sweeteners in food. The focus is on ten sweeteners approved in the European Union: their chemical stability during processing and storage, individual degradation products, and their interactions with the intestinal microbiota.

C‐Terminal Functionalization Methods of Amino Acids, Peptides, and Proteins

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
C‐terminal functionalization offers powerful routes to peptide and protein diversification, yet epimerization, hydrolysis, and selectivity remain key challenges. This Review surveys enzymatic, decarboxylative, and condensation strategies, highlighting advances toward chemo‐ and regioselective, protecting‐group‐free, atom‐efficient methods applicable to

MurNAc‐Based Electrophilic Inhibitors of O‐Acetylpeptidoglycan Esterase (Ape): Design, Synthesis, and Kinetic Evaluation

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A series of N‐acetylmuramic acid (MurNAc)‐based electrophilic inhibitors targeting Ape esterase was synthesized. Their inhibitory potency ranged from micromolar to submillimolar. The study probed binding contributions of stem peptide extension, replacing the anomeric methyl group with a benzyl, and α‐fluorination of the carbonyl to enhance ...

Synthetic mRNA delivered to human cells leads to expression of Cpl-1 bacteriophage-endolysin with activity against Streptococcus pneumoniae

Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids
Endolysins are bacteriophage-encoded hydrolases that show high antibacterial activity and a narrow substrate spectrum. We hypothesize that an mRNA-based approach to endolysin therapy can overcome some challenges of conventional endolysin therapy, namely ...

A proteomic investigation of forebrain regeneration in the leopard gecko (Eublepharis macularius)

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Our investigation reveals ontogenetic, injury‐ and regeneration‐associated proteomic changes in the leopard gecko forebrain. Abstract Background The ability to replace lost or damaged neurons following an injury is termed reactive neurogenesis. Although reactive neurogenesis has been reported in several lizard species, the molecular mechanisms ...

Esculentin 1-21: a linear antimicrobial peptide from frog skin with inhibitory effect on bovine mastitis-causing bacteria

, 2009
Mastitis, or inflammation of the mammary gland, is the most common and expensive illness of dairy cows throughout the world. Although stress and physical injuries may give rise to inflammation of the udders, infections by bacteria or other microorganisms
