Article Abstract

The current concepts emphasize the fundamental role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as signaling molecules that coordinate defense mechanisms, cell death, and the growth and development processes in plants. However, due to the inherent reactivity of ROS, achieving precise control over their levels within plant cells, both spatially and temporally, becomes important to effectively harness the potential of ROS signaling while concurrently minimizing the risk of oxidative damage. Ascorbate is an exceptional antioxidant and contributes to the antioxidant defense system in plants. Its role is further reinforced by the presence of ascorbate peroxidases and enzymes responsible for recycling ascorbate from its oxidized forms. Ascorbate metabolism plays a pivotal role in averting oxidative damage and facilitates meticulous regulation of ROS signal availability. This chapter outlines the preferred protocol for the measurement of ascorbate.

In this study, bovine peptide‑calcium chelates (BBP-Ca) were prepared via enzymatic hydrolysis to generate peptides and fermentation to obtain soluble calcium ions, which were then chelated together. The structural characteristics of BBP-Ca were comprehensively analyzed using FTIR, SEM, and UV spectroscopy. Additionally, its antioxidant capacity was evaluated by examining its protective effects against oxidative stress-induced damage in Caco-2 cells.

Duck plague is a highly contagious disease caused by duck plague virus (DPV) infection, leading to high morbidity (up to 100 %) and mortality rates (up to 95 %) among ducks. Mitochondria are essential organelles for virus replication. It is crucial to deepen the understanding of mitochondrial homeostasis and the interaction between mitochondrial proteins after viral infection.

Acute lung injury (ALI) is characterized by the excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which triggers a severe inflammatory cascade and the destruction of the alveolar-capillary barrier, leading to respiratory failure and life-threatening outcomes. Considering the limitations and adverse effects associated with current therapeutic interventions, developing effective and safe strategies that target the complex pathophysiological mechanisms of ALI is crucial for improving patient outcomes. Herein, we developed an inhalable, multifunctional nanotherapeutic (MSCNVs@CAT) by encapsulating catalase (CAT) in mesenchymal-stem-cell-derived nanovesicles (MSCNVs).
