Abstract Shake flasks are one of the most widely used cultivation vessels in biotechnological process development. To improve the process understanding, new technologies have been reported for online monitoring of different parameters like oxygen, pH, or biomass in the last couple of years.

SAAP‐148 Oligomerizes into a Hexamer Forming a Hydrophobic Inner Core
The highly cationic and hydrophobic antimicrobial peptide SAP‐148 effectively eradicates multidrug‐resistant bacteria, persistent cells, and biofilms without inducing resistance. Its efficiency is likely due to its ability to disrupt bacterial membranes as an oligomer, forming a stable alpha‐helical hexameric bundle with three parallel dimers that ...

Worsening of cerebral hyperemia by the administration of terlipressin in acute liver failure with severe hepatic encephalopathy [PDF]
There is increasing evidence that terlipressin is useful in patients with cirrhosis and hepatorenal syndrome, but there are no data of its use in patients with acute liver failure (ALF) in whom hepatorenal syndrome is common.

Preclinical efficacy of [V 4 Q 5 ]dDAVP, a second generation vasopressin analog, on metastatic spread and tumor-associated angiogenesis in colorectal cancer [PDF]
Purpose Control of metastatic spread of colorectal cancer (CRC) remains as a major therapeutic challenge. [V 4 Q 5 ]dDAVP is a vasopressin peptide analog with previously reported anticancer activity against carcinoma tumors.

Crotonaldehyde‐derived DNA lesions are reported in patients after ethanol exposure, which implies that crotonaldehyde is produced after ethanol ingestion. Here, we show that proline amide, which mimics N‐terminal proline residues on human proteins, can catalyze crotonaldehyde formation from the ethanol metabolite acetaldehyde under physiologically ...

Continuous growth of proximal tubular kidney epithelial cells in hormone-supplemented serum-free medium. [PDF]
An epithelial cell line from pig kidney (LLC-PK1) with properties of proximal tubular cells can be maintained indefinitely in hormone-supplemented serum-free medium. Continuous growth requires the presence of seven factors: transferrin, insulin, selenium,

Neuromodulation by Oxytocin and Vasopressin [PDF]
Oxytocin (OT) and vasopressin (VP) are two closely related neuropeptides, widely known for their peripheral hormonal effects. Specific receptors have also been found in the brain, where their neuromodulatory actions have meanwhile been described in a large number of regions.

Flavin‐dependent halogenases (FDHs) carry out substrate‐specific and regioselective halogenation reactions in the biosynthesis of various halogenated natural compounds. Several FDHs convert non‐native substrates in vitro. However, obtaining experimental structures of FDHs with non‐native substrates remains challenging and docking often produces ...
