Protein S Enhances the Phagocytosis of Phosphatidylserine‐Exposing Erythrocytes: Implications in Sickle Cell Disease

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Hematology, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 26-40, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The major anticoagulant Protein S (PROS1) also contributes to the phagocytosis of apoptotic cells by bridging exposed phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) to the MerTK receptor on macrophages (efferocytosis). Whether PROS1 is involved in the splenic clearance of PtdSer‐positive senescent and altered erythrocytes such as erythrocyte ghosts (eryghosts ...

Selection of Host Plasma Membrane Lipids by HIV‐1 Gag Protein

open access: yesBioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 1, January 2026.
Enrichment of sphingomyelin in the HIV‐1 envelope arises from Gag binding to PI(4,5)P2, which triggers reorganization of plasma membrane sphingomyelin/cholesterol domains through unknown mechanisms. We propose that cholesterol‐mediated interleaflet coupling between sphingomyelin and PI(4,5)P2, rather than interdigitation, underlies Gag‐induced lipid ...

Antiproliferative Effect of Okra Seed Protein Isolate against HepG2 and A549 Cell Lines

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 1, January 2026.
Cytotoxic effects exhibited by OSPI against A549 cells significantly reduced the cell viability. Elevated caspase levels induced by OSPI in Hep‐G2 cells suggest intrinsic and extrinsic apoptosis. Treatment with OSPI and DOF exhibited elevated p53 expression in A549 cells, suggesting p53‐mediated apoptosis.

Unveiling the Leishmanicidal Mechanism of 4‐Nerolidylcatechol Isolated From Piper peltatum Against Leishmania infantum

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The present study assessed the leishmanicidal activity of 4‐nerolidylcatechol (4‐NC) (1) isolated from Piper peltatum leaves against promastigotes and amastigotes of Leishmania amazonensis, L. braziliensis, and L. infantum. The plant was fractionated, leading to the isolation and chemical identification of 4‐NC (1). Biochemical techniques were

Engineering Liposomes for Neurodegenerative Diseases: Targeted Delivery and Regenerative Potential

open access: yesChemNanoMat, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
Liposomal nanocarriers offer therapeutic promise for neurodegenerative diseases by encapsulating diverse agents such as neurotrophic factors and mRNA while targeting the blood‐brain barrier. Designed to stimulate neuronal repair and restore function, these lipid vesicles advance strategies for optimized design and central nervous system delivery ...
