Article Abstract

Metal-chelating peptides (MCP) are considered as indirect antioxidants due to their capacity to inhibit radical chain reaction and oxidation. Here, we propose a new proof of concept for the screening of MCPs present in protein hydrolysates for valorizing their antioxidant properties by using the emerging time-resolved molecular dynamics technology, switchSENSE. This method unveils possible interactions between MCPs and immobilized nickel ions using fluorescence and electro-switchable DNA chips. The switchSENSE method was first set up on synthetic peptides known for their metal-chelating properties. Then, it was applied to soy and tilapia viscera protein hydrolysates. Their Cu-chelation capacity was, in addition, determined by UV-visible spectrophotometry as a reference method. The switchSENSE method has displayed a high sensitivity to evidence the presence of MCPs in both hydrolysates. Hence, we demonstrate for the first time that this newly introduced technology is a convenient methodology to screen protein hydrolysates in order to determine the presence of MCPs before launching time-consuming separations.

Cultured meat represents an innovative alternative to conventional livestock-derived meat, yet faces challenges in establishing efficient, safe, and sustainable culture systems. Although traditional supplements such as fetal bovine serum and bovine eye fluid provide essential growth factors for cell proliferation, their high cost, ethical concerns, and biosafety risks significantly hinder large-scale industrialization. In recent years, protein hydrolysates have emerged as promising components in serum-free media.

Dipeptidyl-peptidase (DPP)-IV inhibition by penultimate N-terminus Pro-containing peptides is a promising strategy for Type 2 diabetes (T2D) management, as it prevents the degradation of incretin hormones (DPP-IV substrates) like glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), thereby prolonging their half-life. However, the stability and bio-accessibility of these peptides are crucial to their efficacy in orally administered therapeutics. We previously identified LPCL and TPFLPDE peptides from tilapia viscera by-products hydrolysates, which exhibited significant DPP-IV inhibition in vitro and in situ while effectively preserving active GLP-1 levels after 2 h treatment in STC-1 cells under basal glucose conditions.

Severe scarring is an inevitable consequence of large full-thickness skin wounds, often leading to long-term complications that affect patients' well-being and necessitate extended medical interventions. While autologous split-thickness skin grafts remain the clinical standard for wound treatment, they frequently result in contractures, excessive scarring, and the need for additional corrective procedures. To address these challenges, bioengineered skin substitutes capable of promoting efficient healing while reducing complications are highly desirable.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive impairment, synaptic dysfunction, and neuronal loss. Neuroinflammation, driven by the activation of microglia and astrocytes, is a key contributor to AD pathology, amplifying oxidative stress and amyloid-β toxicity. Modulation of neuroinflammatory pathways thus represents a promising therapeutic strategy.
