The first application of metalloenamines derived from N-sulfinyl imines is reported for the highly diastereoselective addition to aldehydes. Reduction of the beta-hydroxy-N-sulfinyl imine products with catecholborane and LiBHEt3 provides syn- and anti-1,3-amino alcohol derivatives, respectively, with very high diastereomeric ratios.

Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-, leucine-rich repeat (LRR)-, and pyrin domain (PYD)-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) form an inflammasome by assembling with apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC) and procaspase-1 that plays a pivotal role in various neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson diseases. We designed native peptides derived from the PYDs of NLRP3 and ASC based on their interfacial interaction to inhibit NLRP3 inflammasome formation. Screening revealed that , derived from NLRP3, inhibits inflammasome activation.

In recent years, an increasing number of studies have shown that increased activation of aspartic endopeptidases (AEPs) is a common symptom in neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs). AEP cleaves amyloid precursor protein (APP), tau (microtubule-associated protein tau), α- synuclein (α-syn), SET (a 39-KDa phosphoprotein widely expressed in various tissues and localizes predominantly in the nucleus), and TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43), and promotes their aggregation, contributing to Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), Huntington's disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) pathogenesis. Abundant evidence supports the notion that CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein β (C/EBPβ)/AEP may play an important role in NDDs.

This work presents an investigation of the influence of poly(-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) polymer on the structural dynamics of intrinsically disordered alpha-synuclein (α-syn) protein, exploring the formation and intricate features of the resulting α-syn/PNIPAM complexes. Using atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, our study analyzes the impact of initial configuration, polymer molecular weight, and protein mutations on the α-syn and the α-syn/PNIPAM complex. Atomistic simulations, of a few μs, of the protein/polymer complex reveal crucial insights into molecular interactions within the complex, emphasizing a delicate balance of forces governing its stability and structural evolution.

Taiwan, a relatively young continental island, harbors a high proportion of endemic phasmids, reflecting its unique evolutionary history. However, a comprehensive phylogenetic framework to clarify these phasmids is still lacking. In this study, we sequenced ten of eleven valid genera and two undescribed species of Taiwanese phasmids (total 16 species) using the genome-skimming approach.

Microbiota encompasses a diverse array of microorganisms inhabiting specific ecological niches. Gut microbiota significantly influences physiological processes, including gastrointestinal motor function, neuroendocrine signalling, and immune regulation. They play a crucial role in modulating the central nervous system and bolstering body defence mechanisms by influencing the proliferation and differentiation of innate and adaptive immune cells.
