Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 37, 3 July 2026.Inspired by natural amino acid polymer‐melanin systems, this study strategically incorporated tellurocysteine to develop advanced radiation‐shielding materials. This approach transformed the primary interaction mechanism between melanin‐based materials and incident photons from Compton scattering to the photoelectric effect. Tellurocysteine‐polymerized

Selenophosphate synthetase 2 is essential for selenoprotein biosynthesis [PDF]
, 2007 Selenophosphate synthetase (SelD) generates the selenium donor for selenocysteine biosynthesis in eubacteria. One homologue of SelD in eukaryotes is SPS1 (selenophosphate synthetase 1) and a second one, SPS2, was identified as a selenoprotein in mammals.

[Selenoprotein-related muscular dystrophy.] [PDF]
, 2011 A nine year-old girl with selenoprotein-related muscular dystrophy was diagnosed. The primary symptom was weak neck muscles. During childhood she developed a rigid spine and over a period of a few years a severe scoliosis.

Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster as Model Organisms in Biofactor Research
BioFactors, Volume 52, Issue 4, July/August 2026.This review presents Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster as powerful and ethically sound invertebrate model organisms that can be used to investigate nutritional science questions relating to biofactors. Such nutritional phenotyping studies can bridge the gap between in vitro studies and in vivo research in mammals.

Polymorphisms in the selenoprotein S and 15-kDa selenoprotein genes are associated with altered susceptibility to colorectal cancer [PDF]
, 2010 Selenium (Se), a dietary trace metal essential for human health, is incorporated into ~25 selenoproteins including selenoprotein S (SelS) and the 15-kDa selenoprotein (Sep15) both of which have functions in the endoplasmic reticulum protein unfolding ...
