The bacterium responsible for Lyme disease, , accumulates high levels of manganese without iron and possesses a polyploid genome, characteristics suggesting potential extreme resistance to radiation. Contrary to expectations, we report that wild-type B31 cells are radiosensitive, with a gamma-radiation survival limit for 10 wild-type cells of <1 kGy. Thus, we explored radiosensitivity through electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy by quantitating the fraction of Mn present as antioxidant Mn metabolite complexes (H-Mn).

Food-borne transmission is a recognized route for many viruses associated with gastrointestinal, hepatic, or neurological diseases. Therefore, it is essential to identify new bioactive compounds with broad-spectrum antiviral activity to exploit innovative solutions against these hazards. Recently, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been recognized as promising antiviral agents.

is an important commercial fish rich in nutrients required for daily metabolism. However, the regulation of peptides (GMP) on osteoblast growth remains unclear. In order to clarify the regulatory effects of GMP on osteoblasts, the effects of GMP on the growth of MC3T3-E1 cells were investigated, and the osteogenic peptides were identified and screened.

According to clinical studies, the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is linked to the abnormal aggregation of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides into toxic soluble oligomers, protofibrils as well as mature fibrils. The most acceptable therapeutic strategy for the treatment of AD is to block the Aβ aggregation. Sun and co-workers have reported a decapeptide, D-enantiomeric RTHLVFFARK-NH (rk10), which acts as a potent inhibitor of Aβ aggregation and efficiently disaggregates pre-assembled Aβ fibrils.
