Antibiofilm activity of a chionodracine‐derived peptide by NMR‐based metabolomics of cell‐free supernatant of Acinetobacter baumannii clinical strains

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
KHS‐Cnd peptide is able to impair biofilm formation and disaggregate mature biofilms in Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates. Differences in extracellular metabolites reflect changes in biofilm metabolism due to KHS‐Cnd treatment. Among the differentially represented extracellular metabolites upon KHS‐Cnd treatment, the significantly altered ...

Pollution characteristics of heavy metal(loid)s in soil in China: Implications for health risk assessment and temporal trend analysis

Environmental Chemistry and Ecotoxicology
The ecological and human health risks associated with heavy metal(loid)s (HMs) have attracted much attentions worldwide. In this study, 153 topsoil samples were collected across China in 2019, aiming to investigate the HMs pollution characteristics.

Evaluation of in vitro toxicity of common phytochemicals included in weight loss supplements using 1H NMR spectroscopy

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We investigated the toxicity of 12 active compounds commonly found in herbal weight loss supplements (WLS) using human liver and colon cell models. Epigallocatechin‐3‐gallate was the only compound showing significant toxicity. Metabolic profiling revealed protein degradation, disrupted energy and lipid metabolism suggesting that the inclusion of EGCG ...

Exposure to an environmentally relevant concentration of chlorpyrifos induces transcriptional changes and neurotoxicity in Poecilia gillii without clear behavioral effects

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Overusing chlorpyrifos (CPF) in tropical countries such as Costa Rica poses a potential risk to freshwater ecosystems. This study investigated the effects of transient exposure to an environmentally relevant CPF concentration on the native fish species ...

The role of lipid metabolism in neuronal senescence

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Disrupted lipid metabolism, through alterations in lipid species or lipid droplet accumulation, can drive neuronal senescence. However, lipid dyshomeostasis can also occur alongside neuronal senescence, further amplifying tissue damage. Delineating how lipid‐induced senescence emerges in neurons and glial cells, and how it contributes to ageing and ...
