Culinary Chemistry as a Platform for Interfacial Materials Design

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Culinary processes control interfaces through heating, shear, gelation, and molecular transport. This Review connects selected gastronomic examples with food‐derived nanomaterials, plasmonic sensing, anthocyanin photovoltaics, and intelligent packaging. Original agar‐based plasmonic films illustrate the proposed translation.

An Olfactory Subsystem that Mediates High-Sensitivity Detection of Volatile Amines

Cell Reports, 2012
Olfactory stimuli are detected by over 1,000 odorant receptors in mice, with each receptor being mapped to specific glomeruli in the olfactory bulb. The trace amine-associated receptors (TAARs) are a small family of evolutionarily conserved olfactory ...

Accelerated pseudogenization of trace amine‐associated receptor genes in primates [PDF]

Genes, Brain and Behavior, 2019
Trace amines (TAs) in the mammalian brain have been investigated for four decades. Trace amine‐associated receptors (TAARs) were discovered during the search for receptors activated by TAs. TAARs are considered a second class of vertebrate olfactory receptors and successfully proliferated in conjunction with adaptation to living on the ground to detect

Chitin‐Chitosan Cryogels for the Reversible Sequestration and Recovery of Heavy Metals From Wastewater

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Chitin‐chitosan cryogels with degrees of N‐acetylation from 12.2% to 71.4% are fabricated by dissolution, coagulation and lyophilization for the sequestration of heavy metals from water. Colorimetry and differential pulse voltammetry showed controlled adsorption and desorption capacities for As5+, Co2+ and Cu2+, making this material attractive for ...

Trace Amine-Associated Receptor 1 Agonist Modulates Mismatch Negativity-Like Responses in Mice

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2019
The trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1) is a G protein-coupled receptor widely expressed in the mammalian brain, particularly in limbic system and monoaminergic areas.

Co‐Delivery of Sustained Release Chondroitinase ABC‐37 With Human iPSC‐Derived Neural Progenitors Promotes Transplant Survival and Functional Recovery in a Rodent Model of Stroke

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A regenerative strategy for stroke combines human stem cell–derived neural progenitor cells with sustained release of a matrix‐modifying, thermostable chondroitinase ABC‐37 enzyme. In a rat model of stroke, co‐delivery enhanced transplanted cell survival and neuronal differentiation, degraded inhibitory extracellular matrix components, and improved ...

Selenium Nanoparticles Selectively Target KRAS G13D to Inhibit Colorectal Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The mechanisms of SeNPs therapy in cancer treatment, encompass three parallel actions: (1) seleno‐amino acids, key metabolites, upregulate GPX2 expression, thereby inhibiting tumor metastasis via the GPX2‐HIF1α‐VEGF signaling pathway; (2) selenite (SeO32−), an inorganic metabolite, forms hydrogen bonds with amino acid residues 13–17 of the KRAS G13D ...

Expression of Olfactory Sense-Related Genes in Chicken Olfactory Epithelium

The Journal of Poultry Science
Olfaction plays a key role in the selection and acquisition of feed as well as its vision and gustation. Although olfactory behavior in chickens is speculated to depend on olfactory receptors, trace-amine-associated receptors (TAARs), and its signaling ...

The trace aminergic system: a gender-sensitive therapeutic target for IBS?

Journal of Biomedical Science, 2020
Due to a lack of specific or sensitive biomarkers, drug discovery advances have been limited for individuals suffering from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Trace amine-associated receptor 1—Family archetype or iconoclast? [PDF]

Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 2007
Interest has recently been rekindled in receptors that are activated by low molecular weight, noncatecholic, biogenic amines that are typically found as trace constituents of various vertebrate and invertebrate tissues and fluids. The timing of this resurgent focus on receptors activated by the "trace amines" (TA) beta-phenylethylamine (PEA), tyramine (
