Mechanistic insights into HapC: A key enzyme in prodiginine biosynthesis in Hahella chejuensis
HapC catalyzes prodiginine biosynthesis through coordinated movements of its ATP‐binding, substrate‐binding, and catalytic‐swivel domains. The enzyme shows tolerance toward short‐chain MAP analogs, and docking analyses reveal key residues and structural features underlying its substrate flexibility.

Population Pharmacokinetics of Sildenafil in Dogs With Naturally Occurring Pulmonary Hypertension
ABSTRACT The pharmacokinetics of sildenafil are ill‐defined in dogs with naturally occurring pulmonary hypertension (PH). Because the plasma concentrations of sildenafil have not been reported for dogs with this disease, this study aimed to describe the population pharmacokinetics of sildenafil in a sample of dogs with PH. Twenty client‐owned dogs with

Nanoshell Fabrication Techniques for Probiotic Encapsulation: A Comprehensive Review
ABSTRACT Probiotics, beneficial microorganisms, confer numerous health benefits when administered. However, their efficacy is hindered by harsh gut conditions, including acidity, bile acids, and enzymatic degradation. To overcome these challenges, encapsulation and nanoshell technology have emerged as a pivotal strategy to enhance probiotic stability ...

Effects of Renal and Hepatic Impairment on the Pharmacokinetics of Zilurgisertib
Aim Small‐molecule activin receptor‐like kinase‐2 inhibitor zilurgisertib (INCB000928) is under investigation in a pivotal trial for the treatment of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), an ultrarare genetic condition. This analysis assessed effects of renal and hepatic impairment on zilurgisertib pharmacokinetics.
