Phospholipase A2 isoforms in acute pancreatitis.

, 2001
OBJECTIVE To assess phospholipase A2 isoforms during human and experimental acute necrotizing pancreatitis. Phospholipase A2 isoforms (group I, II, and IV) were examined in acute pancreatitis tissues in humans and rats to determine whether the exocrine ...

From Caffeine to Aspirin: Everyday Molecules as Triggers for Genetically Encoded Proximity Systems

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
This Perspective article highlights how familiar dietary ingredients and over‐the‐counter (OTC) drugs (such as caffeine and its metabolites, SA, and aspirin) can be repurposed as clinically translatable chemical triggers for genetically encoded proximity systems.

Assessing the Utility of Broad-Acting Inhibitors as Therapeutics in Diverse Venoms

Toxins
Examination of venom constituent bioactivities from diverse venomous animals shows certain highly conserved classes, including enzymes (e.g., phospholipases and metalloproteinases) and pore-forming proteins.

Characterization of Lysosomal Hydrolases and Transporters and Their Age‐Dependent Variability: Relevance to Drug Metabolism and Transport of Small Molecule and Biologic Drugs

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Lysosomes play a key role in the accumulation, catabolism, and transport of endogenous and exogenous metabolites and proteins and are involved in drug metabolism and prodrug activation. However, the protein abundance and interindividual variability of lysosomal drug‐metabolizing enzymes and transporters (DMETs) remain underexplored.

Biography as the Missing Variable in Drug Development: A Case for Bio‐Biographical Mechanistic Profiling

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Most clinical trial failures reflect unmeasured biological heterogeneity. Biography — chronic stress, adversity, trauma, and social isolation—is a neglected source of that heterogeneity, operating through the same molecular pathways drugs engage.

Impact of Drone Versus Car Transport on Anti‐Doping Sample Integrity Over Short Distances: A Proof‐Of‐Concept Study

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
This proof‐of‐concept study evaluated the impact of short‐distance drone transport on anti‐doping sample integrity compared with traditional car transport. Targeted assays and untargeted metabolomics revealed equivalent biological profiles between methods, confirming that drone delivery preserves sample integrity for the athlete biological passport ...

Membrane lipid metabolism as a regulatory frontier in neural crest biology: Roles for sphingolipids, cholesterol, and lipid rafts

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Neural crest cells are multipotent, migratory stem‐like cells essential for vertebrate development that contribute broadly to many tissues including the craniofacial skeleton, peripheral nervous system, and pigment‐producing cells. Their development progresses through phases of induction, specification, delamination, migration, and ...

Extracellular vesicles derived from edible plants and edible fungi: Compositional characteristics, engineering strategies and biofunctions

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Non‐animal extracellular vesicles as bioactive‐compound carriers: compositional characteristics, engineering strategies, and biofunctions. Abstract Animal‐derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) were widely used for bioactive compound delivery but constrained by complex origins, potential immunogenicity, and pathogen contamination.

Neurolathyrism in Sub‐Saharan Africa—Assessing the Neurotoxic Risks of Lathyrus sativus Amid Drought and Food Security Challenges

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Representation of grass pea consumption in drought‐stricken sub‐Saharan Africa sustains nutrition, but excess β‐ODAP exposure due to multiple reasons triggers neurolathyrism, a progressive neurotoxic disorder. ABSTRACT Neurolathyrism is a progressive motor neuron disease due to the consumption of Lathyrus sativus (grass pea) over long periods.
