Lipid droplet targeting of the lipase co-activator ABHD5 and the fatty liver disease-causing variant PNPLA3 I148M is required to promote liver steatosis.

The storage and release of triacylglycerol (TAG) in lipid droplets (LDs) is regulated by dynamic protein interactions. α/β hydrolase domain-containing protein 5 (ABHD5; also known as CGI-58) is a membrane/LD bound protein that functions as a co-activator of Patatin Like Phospholipase Domain Containing 2 (PNPLA2; also known as Adipose triglyceride lipase, ATGL) the rate-limiting enzyme for TAG hydrolysis. The dysregulation of TAG hydrolysis is involved in various metabolic diseases such as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).

Development and validation of a rapid and accurate ultra performance liquid chromatography-photodiode array method for concurrent quantification of thirty-two polyphenols in edible fruit of Cordia myxa Linn.

The aim of current work was to develop a novel, simple, sensitive, and reliable method for screening and quantification of thirty-two polyphenol compounds from Cordia myxa (C. myxa) using Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography Photodiode Array detector (UPLC-PDA). With the help of the quaternary solvent manager and a comparison study of seven different columns packed with silica particles that are less than two micron thick (1.

Metabolomics approach to evaluate diclazuril-induced developmental toxicity in zebrafish embryo.

Anticoccidials, commonly used in veterinary medicine to treat coccidiosis in food-producing animals, particularly in poultry farming, are associated with potential environmental risks due to their excretion in manure and subsequent land-spreading. Diclazuril, a widely used anticoccidial, has been detected in groundwater, raising concerns about its impact on non-target species. This study investigates the developmental toxicity of diclazuril in zebrafish embryos over a 96-hour exposure period, utilizing biomarkers such as oxidative stress indicators and metabolomic profiles.

Rational design and synthesis of atomically precise nanocluster-based nanocomposites: a step towards environmental catalysis.

Atomically precise metal nanoclusters (NCs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) possess distinct properties that can present challenges in certain applications. However, integrating these materials to create new composite functional materials has gained significant interest due to their unique characteristics through a range of applications, particularly in catalysis. Considering MOFs as hosts and NCs as guests, several synergistic effects have been observed in composites, particularly in environmental catalytic reactions.

Comparative evaluation of cellular senescence in naturally aged and stress-induced murine macrophages for identifying optimum senescent macrophage study systems.

Background: The role and relevance of macrophages both as causes and therapeutics of cellular senescence is rapidly emerging. However, current knowledge regarding the extent and depth of senescence in macrophages in vivo is limited and controversial. Further, acute models of stress-induced senescence in transformed/cancerous macrophage cell lines are being used although their efficacy and relevance are not characterized.
