Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Preparation and Structure Characterization of Iron(II)-Chelating Corn Oligopeptides
Shipin gongye ke-ji, 2023 Corn oligopeptides and ferrous chloride were used as raw materials to prepare iron (II)-chelating wheat oligopeptides. The chelating effect was evaluated by yield and chelating rate, and the best process was studied by single-factor, response surface ...

Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Viruses infect all living organisms and have been responsible for major epidemics and pandemics. Their ongoing evolutionary battle with host defenses creates a constant need for improved tools to study viral behavior. Advancing methods to probe viral attachment, fusion, and genome release deepen our understanding of how infections begin and support the

Novel 14-helical functionalised β3-peptides
, 2017 β3-Peptides, (oligomers of β3-amino acids) are among the most widely studied unnatural peptides at present, due to their ability to adopt discrete and stable secondary helical structures. Of the many types of helices formed by β3-peptides, 14-helices are

Antimicrobial Peptides and Skin: A Paradigm of Translational Medicine [PDF]
, 2012 Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are small, cationic, amphiphilic peptides with broad-spectrum microbicidal activity against both bacteria and fungi. In mammals, AMPs form the first line of host defense against infections and generally play an important ...

Role of biological rhythms in the performance of physical activity
Journal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2017 Most organisms display various periodicities. Periodicity has been observed in humans in association with sleep, body temperature and hormone secretion. The molecular mechanisms involved are being elucidated by the investigation of clock genes in mammals.
