Maternal nutrition as a key determinant of placental and developing blood–brain barrier xenobiotic protective functions

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Suboptimal maternal nutrition alters placental and developing blood–brain barrier (BBB) protective function and is associated with increased fetal brain vulnerability. In the placenta, nutritional adversity may reduce the exchange surface area and promote meta‐inflammation, compromising barrier efficiency in a model‐ and context ...

Enhancement of 5-aminolevulinic acid-induced photodynamic therapy by a bioadhesive polymer

Journal of Dental Sciences, 2010
Using a topical formulation of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), a mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) was developed to treat oral precancerous and cancerous lesions.

Evolutionary insights into bilin biosynthesis: Functional characterization of pre‐PcyA enzymes

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Biosynthesis of the linear tetrapyrrole phycocyanobilin (PCB) by the ferredoxin‐dependent bilin reductase (FDBR) PcyA is essential for light‐harvesting and regulatory processes in diverse photosynthetic organisms, yet its evolutionary origins are not fully understood. PcyA evolved from pre‐PcyA proteins found in diverse bacteria.

Sodium Alginate Composite Coating Inhibited Postharvest Greening and Improved Nutritional Quality of Potato Tubers by Regulating Chlorophyll Biosynthesis

Horticulturae
Potato tuber (Solanum tuberosum L.) was prone to greening and quality deterioration during postharvest storage due to various factors, affecting the regulation of chlorophyll biosynthesis. In the present study, potato tubers were placed at 600 lux and 25

Combined 5‐aminolevulinic acid and ferric ammonium citrate treatment promotes hair follicle growth by activating dermal papilla cells

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 8, Page 1527-1536, August 2026.
5‐Aminolevulinic acid combined with ferric ammonium citrate (5‐ALA/FAC) stimulates dermal papilla cell activity and promotes hair follicle growth. The treatment enhances ERK and AKT signaling, increases hair‐inductive gene expression, and restores dermal papilla function suppressed by dihydrotestosterone and oxidative stress, resulting in enhanced hair

Fiber-optic filter fluorometer for emission detection of Protoporphyrin IX and its direct precursors – A preliminary study for improved Photodynamic Therapy applications

Results in Physics, 2018
In this work we present first results of a laboratory manufactured filter-fluorometer to study differences in intensity and position of the main peaks of three porphyrins that appear during the Heme-Synthesis. Porphyrins play a major role in Photodynamic

Synthetic Sinapates: Antifungal, Molecular Docking, and ADMET Studies

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The increasing incidence of diseases resulting from fungal infections is due to the high morbidity and mortality associated with these microorganisms. Sinapic acid is a plant‐derived phenolic compound with antifungal activity. Therefore, in this study, a collection of eleven sinapates (1‐11) was prepared and the antifungal activity of these ...

An Analysis of Great Tit Egg Traits Across the City Mosaic: Urbanisation Does Not Affect Egg Size and Pigmentation Patterns

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Based on data from over 550 great tit (Parus major) eggs collected in the city mosaic, this research finds no effect of urbanisation on egg volume or pigmentation patterns. These results suggest that urban‐driven environmental pressures may not be as strong or directional during the egg laying phase as they are at later stages of reproduction ...

GSTU43 gene involved in ALA-regulated redox homeostasis, to maintain coordinated chlorophyll synthesis of tomato at low temperature

BMC Plant Biology, 2019
Background Exogenous 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) positively regulates plants chlorophyll synthesis and protects them against environmental stresses, although the protection mechanism is not fully clear. Here, we explored the effects of ALA on chlorophyll
