Biarylitides are a new class of ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) with the unique feature of biaryl C-C, C-N, or C-O cross-links installed by P450 biarylitide synthases (P450s). Here, we manually identified 435 homologous P450s linked to putative biarylitide precursor peptides, which is the most extensive list of biarylitide precursor peptide so far reported. Through functional studies in , the newly identified enzyme ShyB from F613-1 was found to catalyze formation of a cross-link between His-C2 and Tyr-O4 on the precursor peptide ShyA. This is the first report of an enzyme that can catalyze such cross-linking in RiPPs.

To explore the role and mechanism of the hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) pathway in rat retinal precursor R28 cell injury caused by the (E50K) mutation. This experimental study was conducted from November 2023 to October 2024. The retinas of 18-month-old wild-type (WT) mice and normal tension glaucoma mice with the (E50K) mutation were extracted for proteomic analysis.

T-cell therapies have proven to be a promising treatment option for cancer patients in recent years, especially in the case of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy. However, the therapy is associated with insufficient activation of T cells or poor persistence in the patient's body, which leads to incomplete elimination of cancer cells, recurrence, and genotoxicity. By extracting the splice element of PD-1 pre-mRNA using biology based on CRISPR/dCas13 in this study, our ultimate goal is to overcome the above-mentioned challenges in the future.

Under physiological conditions, amyloid precursor protein (APP) is critically important for normal brain development, neurogenesis, neuronal survival, and synaptic signaling. Dyshomeostasis of APP increases deposition and accumulation of amyloid β (Aβ) in the brain parenchyma and cerebral blood vessels thereby leading to development of Alzheimer's disease and cerebral amyloid angiopathy. In this review, we critically examine existing literature supporting the concept that endothelial APP performs important vascular protective functions in the brain.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Previous studies showed that enriched environments improved memory and reduced amyloid plaques in AD mice, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigated the effects and mechanisms of enriched environments on AD pathology and cognitive function in aged APP/PS1 mice.

The distribution of tau pathology in Alzheimer's disease (AD) shows remarkable inter-individual heterogeneity, including hemispheric asymmetry. However, the factors driving this asymmetry remain poorly understood. Here we explore whether tau asymmetry is linked to i) reduced inter-hemispheric brain connectivity (potentially restricting tau spread), or ii) asymmetry in amyloid-beta (Aβ) distribution (indicating greater hemisphere-specific vulnerability to AD pathology).
