The Prevailing Catalytic Role of Meteorites in Formamide Prebiotic Processes

open access: yesLife, 2018
Meteorites are consensually considered to be involved in the origin of life on this Planet for several functions and at different levels: (i) as providers of impact energy during their passage through the atmosphere; (ii) as agents of geodynamics ...

Developing Metal–Polyphenol Network‐Based Single‐Protein Particle Encapsulation System for Sustained Release of Whey Protein to Mitigate Sarcopenia

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Sarcopenia has emerged as a major health challenge in the aging population. Developing a sustained‐release system for whey protein may enhance its effectiveness in mitigating sarcopenia. Herein, a novel “single‐protein particle encapsulation” (SPPE) system is developed to protect whey protein and control its release.

Polyproline: A Synthetic Polypeptide With Unique Properties

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Poly‐L‐proline is a unique polypeptide distinguished by its well‐defined secondary structures and unusual thermal behavior. This mini review highlights recent advances in the synthesis of poly‐L‐proline by N‐carboxyanhydride (NCA) polymerization, the formation of structurally defined architectures and nanostructures, and emerging strategies that ...

A Postbiotic‐Inducing Ganoderma applanatum Polysaccharide Repairs the Intestinal Barrier via a Phocaeicola vulgatus ‐ Tridecylic Acid Axis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies GAP2, a bioactive polysaccharide fraction derived from Ganoderma applanatum, as a postbiotic inducer that repairs intestinal barrier damage in a gut microbiota‐dependent manner. GAP2 enriches Phocaeicola vulgatus, which degrades GAP2 and promotes tridecylic acid production, triggering Rho/CDC42 signaling and tight‐junction ...

Cometary impacts an unlikely pathway towards the origins of life on Earth

open access: yesScientific Reports
An early period of cometary bombardment has long been speculated to provide an important source of prebiotic feedstock molecules, required for the origins of life on Earth.

Oral Astilbin Nanogels Modulate Senescence‐Associated CD4+ T Cells and Promote Treg Induction in Aged Mice with Colitis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Fluorinated β‐glucan/pectin nanogels enable colon‐targeted oral delivery of astilbin through gastrointestinal protection, β‐glucanase‐responsive release, mucus penetration, and prolonged retention. The released astilbin attenuates senescence‐associated features of CD4+ T cells and promotes Treg responses, while the nanogel matrix modulates the gut ...

Heat Stress and Gut Microbiome Dynamics in Poultry: Interplay, Consequences, and Mitigation Strategies

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Heat stress disrupts gut microbial balance in poultry, impairing nutrient absorption and immunity. This review outlines the interplay between thermal stress and microbiome dynamics and discusses integrative mitigation strategies, probiotics, phytogenics, cooling systems, and genetic adaptation to enhance poultry resilience.

A prebiotic basis for ATP as the universal energy currency

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2022
ATP is universally conserved as the principal energy currency in cells, driving metabolism through phosphorylation and condensation reactions. Such deep conservation suggests that ATP arose at an early stage of biochemical evolution. Yet purine synthesis

Enhancing Meat Quality Through Dietary Fiber: Insights Into the Gut Microbiota‐Derived Short‐Chain Fatty Acids‐Muscle Axis

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Dietary fiber (DF) modulates meat quality through the gut‐muscle axis by reshaping gut microbiota, improving intestinal integrity, reducing inflammation, and regulating muscle metabolism. These mechanisms influence muscle fiber characteristics and post‐mortem biochemistry, thereby enhancing tenderness, juiciness, color, flavor, and nutritional value of
