Article Synopsis
  • The gut microbiota and their metabolites are crucial in regulating host physiology, and diet plays a significant role in influencing microbiota composition and functionality.
  • A study was conducted on semi-stray dogs in Tunisia to assess how switching from a natural diet to an industrial kibble diet affected their fecal microbiota, short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) levels, bile acids, and protease activities.
  • Results showed that the dietary change led to a decrease in primary bile acids and protease activities, while changes in specific microbial genera were linked to improved physiological parameters, highlighting the importance of diet in shaping the microbiome and its functions.

Objective: The paper introduces a framework for the evaluation of the encoding of factual scientific knowledge, designed to streamline the manual evaluation process typically conducted by domain experts. Inferring over and extracting information from Large Language Models (LLMs) trained on a large corpus of scientific literature can potentially define a step change in biomedical discovery, reducing the barriers for accessing and integrating existing medical evidence. This work explores the potential of LLMs for dialoguing with biomedical background knowledge, using the context of antibiotic discovery.

Article Synopsis
  • Many patients treated with FDA-approved CAR T cells see their disease progress, especially with solid cancers and certain types of blood cancers like T cell lymphomas.
  • A major challenge in adoptive T cell therapies is the dysfunction of CAR T cells, which struggle to expand and last after being infused.
  • The study reveals that knocking out the CD5 gene using CRISPR-Cas9 can improve the antitumor abilities of CAR T cells by enhancing their function and persistence, suggesting CD5 as a key target for improving T cell therapies.

Delivery of active protein especially enzyme is one of the major therapeutic challenge. Replacing or substituted invalid/improper acting protein offer fast and effective treatment of disease. Herein, we describe the synthesis and properties of biotinylated peptidomimetics consisting of oxoacid-modified 2,3, L-diaminopropionic acid residues with guanidine groups on its side chains.

Early stages of diabetes are characterized by elevations of insulin and glucose concentrations. Both factors stimulate reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, leading to impairments in podocyte function and disruption of the glomerular filtration barrier. Podocytes were recently shown to be an important source of αKlotho (αKL) expression.
