Natural polysaccharides from food sources (e.g., ginseng, seaweed, apricot, larch) have diverse bioactivities (antioxidant, immunomodulatory, hypoglycemic) that are closely related to human nutritional health, but their structural heterogeneity (e.g ...

Polysaccharide lyases are the products of various microorganisms, bacteriophage and some eukaryotes. All such enzymes cleave a hexose-1,4-alpha- or beta-uronic acid sequence by beta-elimination. They are in some examples, the only known type of enzymes degrading their polyanionic substrates.

The Role of Acrolein in Neurodegenerative Diseases and Its Protective Strategy
Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by a massive loss of specific neurons, which can be fatal. Acrolein, an omnipresent environmental pollutant, is classified as a priority control contaminant by the EPA.

We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Background Inulin is widely recognized for its ability to improve glucolipid metabolism and modulate the gut microbiome and metabolome. However, the potential to influence pork flavor development through gut environment changes in animal husbandry ...
