Article Abstract
Only praziquantel is available for treating schistosomiasis, a disease affecting more than 200 million people. Praziquantel-resistant worms have been selected for in the lab and low cure rates from mass drug administration programs suggest that resistance is evolving in the field. Thioredoxin glutathione reductase (TGR) is essential for schistosome survival and a validated drug target. TGR inhibitors identified to date are irreversible and/or covalent inhibitors with unacceptable off-target effects. In this work, we identify noncovalent TGR inhibitors with efficacy against schistosome infections in mice, meeting the criteria for lead progression indicated by WHO. Comparisons with previous in vivo studies with praziquantel suggests that these inhibitors outperform the drug of choice for schistosomiasis against juvenile worms.

Ferroptosis is a recently discovered lytic form of cell death that is triggered by iron-driven excessive lipid peroxidation and depletion of glutathione and glutathione peroxidase-4 (GPX4). This form of cell death has been linked to a wide range of conditions from cancer to neurodegenerative diseases. Using murine hippocampal HT22 neurons, we aimed to investigate the underlying mechanisms of glutamate-mediated ferroptosis.

Background & Aims: Oxidative stress and antioxidant defense mechanisms have long been implicated in the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis (AP). However, there is a notable lack of in vivo experimental evidence clarifying their precise role.
Methods: We generated and analyzed mice with a pancreas-specific deletion of Txnrd1 (Txnrd1).

Rainbow trout(Oncorhynchus mykiss) is a typical cold-water fish often threatened by high summer temperatures. Nano-selenium as a feed additive can improve the antioxidant capacity of the body and relieve stress. In this study, different levels of nano-selenium (0, 5 and 10 mg/kg) were added to the feed of rainbow trout to determine the changes in spleen structure and expression of related genes in rainbow trout at the proper temperature (18℃) and heat stress temperature (24℃).

Carbapenem- and colistin-resistant Gram-negative bacteria have become one of the most severe public health issues worldwide. The development of advanced antibacterial agents that can outpace microbial adaptation is imperative. The thioredoxin (Trx) and glutaredoxin (Grx) systems play important roles in maintaining redox homeostasis within Gram-negative bacterial cell membranes, with thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) and glutathione reductase (GR) being classical antibacterial targets.

Probiotics and postbiotics are recognized for their potential to benefit skin health, and complete genome analysis serves as a pivotal tool to accelerate the exploration of probiotic functionalities. To investigate this relationship, this study aimed to elucidate the skin-promoting potential of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum BGI-N6 (BGI-N6) through integrated genomic analysis and phenotypic analysis. Results indicated that the high-precision complete genome of BGI-N6 comprises 3 257 641 bases with a 45% GC content and 3030 CDSs, involving multiple genes related to carbon source fermentation, gastrointestinal tolerance, and environmental adaptability.
