In higher plants, ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (ADPGlc-PPase) is a heterotetrameric enzyme comprised of two small and two large subunits. Potato-Arabidopsis hybrid ADPGlc-PPases were generated and their regulatory properties analyzed. We show that ADPGlc-PPase subunits from two different species can interact, producing active enzymes with new regulatory properties. Depending on the subunit combinations, hybrid heterotetramers showed responses to allosteric effectors [3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA) and Pi] in the micromolar or millimolar range. While hybrid potato small subunit (PSS) and the Arabidopsis large subunit APL1 showed an extremely sensitive response to 3-PGA and Pi, hybrid PSS/Arabidopsis APL2 was very insensitive to them. Intermediate responses were determined for other subunit combinations.

The death of osteoblasts induced by glucocorticoid (GC)-mediated oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the development of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SIONFH). Improving bone formation driven by osteoblasts has shown promising outcomes in the prognosis of SIONFH. Isovitexin has demonstrated antioxidant properties, but its therapeutic effects on GC-induced oxidative stress and SIONFH remain unexplored.

Background: Currently, there is limited research on the impact of abdominal infection on intestinal damage under microgravity conditions. Cordyceps polysaccharide (CPS), the main active ingredient of Cordyceps, has demonstrated various pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory properties. Moxifloxacin (MXF) is a fourth-generation quinolone antibiotic that is believed to have a dual regulatory effect on immune system activation and suppression.

Background/aims: Human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSC) are multipotent adult cells commonly used in regenerative medicine as advanced therapy medicinal products. The expansion of these cells in xeno-free supplements is highly encouraged by regulatory agencies due to safety concerns. However, the number of supplements with robust performance and consistency for hMSC expansion are limited.

Acoustical properties are essential for understanding the molecular interactions in fluids, as they influence the physicochemical behavior of liquids and determine their suitability for diverse applications. This study investigated the acoustical parameters of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), and Ag/rGO nanocomposite nanofluids at varying concentrations. Ag NPs and Ag/rGO nanocomposites were synthesized via a Bos taurus indicus (BTI) metabolic waste-assisted method and characterized using advanced techniques, including XRD, TEM, Raman, DLS, zeta potential, and XPS.
