Plaque‐Hepatic Targeting Nanotherapy Disrupts the PCSK9‐LOX‐1 Axis to Suppress oxLDL in Atherosclerosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Self‑amplifying PCSK9–LOX‑1 feedback axis drives atherosclerotic progression by promoting oxLDL generation and endothelial uptake. A dual‑targeting nanoplatform (siPCSK9@PEAL NPs‑aL) is constructed to simultaneously silence hepatic PCSK9 for lipid lowering and block plaque LOX‑1 for anti‑inflammation.

Cardiovascular and neuropsychiatric outcomes with PCSK9 inhibitors in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: A retrospective cohort study

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Study design and main findings. After 1:1 propensity score matching, 60 885 PCSK9 inhibitor users and 60 885 statin‐only users with ASCVD were compared. Kaplan–Meier curves show 12‐month cumulative event‐free survival for MACE, psychiatric disease, and neurodegenerative disease.

Hybrid Macrocyclic Peptides — Synthetic Strategies to Diversify and Cyclize Peptide Libraries in Phage Display Selections

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Hybrid macrocyclic peptides unite genetically encoded peptide libraries with the structural complexity of synthetic small molecules. This Review critically analyzes phage‐compatible cyclization and diversification chemistries, highlights emerging opportunities beyond traditional cysteine‐based approaches, and outlines how future advances may enable the

New insights into the evolution of subtilisin-like serine protease genes in Pezizomycotina

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010
Background Subtilisin-like serine proteases play an important role in pathogenic fungi during the penetration and colonization of their hosts. In this study, we perform an evolutionary analysis of the subtilisin-like serine protease genes of subphylum ...

Engineering subtilisin proteases that specifically degrade active RAS

Communications Biology, 2021
Chen et al. describe a rational design of subtilisin mutants that degrade active RAS by cleaving a conserved sequence in switch 2. They further modified the active site to be dependent on a cofactor to generate high target specificity.

Machine learning‐based prediction of elevated N terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide among US general population

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 859-868, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Natriuretic peptide‐based pre‐heart failure screening has been proposed in recent guidelines. However, an effective strategy to identify screening targets from the general population, more than half of which are at risk for heart failure or pre‐heart failure, has not been well established.

The Structure of Subtilisin Novo

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1968
The amino acid composition of subtilisin Novo has been determined. The compositions of all of the 14 expected tryptic peptides from subtilisin Novo were obtained or deduced. A total of 281 residues was found by analysis of the protein, in good agreement with the total of 275 residues in the expected 14 tryptic peptides.

Microbial Interventions in Processing of Plant Based Proteins: Unlocking Extraction Dynamics and Functionality for Human Health

Food Bioengineering, EarlyView.
Fermentation enhances nutritional & techno‐functional properties of plant protein. Three distinct stages of fermentation impact on different aspects of plant protein. Fermentation induces flavors modulation through new organic compounds formation. Plant protein fermentation improves their utility in food applications.

Crosstalk Between Parkinson's Disease and Colorectal Cancer: Genetic Mechanisms, Gut Microbiota, and Therapeutic Insights

Health Care Science, EarlyView.
This review elucidates the crosstalk between Parkinson's disease and colorectal cancer, driven by shared genetics (PRKN, PINK1, DJ‐1) involving oxidative stress, cell cycle regulation, and inflammation. It identifies the gut microbiota—via functional amyloids and short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs)—as a mechanistic bridge, offering insights for dual ...
