Colostrum, the initial mammary secretion produced by various mammals following birth, is a conduit for maternal immunity transfer in diverse mammalian species. Concurrently, many cellular processes are occurring in the neonatal small intestine to prepare it to receive molecular signals from a superfood essential for the neonate's health and development. During the prepartum colostrum secretion, the newborn intestine undergoes transient alterations in the intestinal barrier, primarily regulating immunoglobulin absorption.

The ubiquitin (Ub) ligase E6AP, which is encoded by the UBE3A gene, has been associated with several human diseases including cervical cancer and Angelman syndrome, a neurodevelopmental disorder. Yet, our knowledge about disease-relevant substrates of E6AP is still limited. The formation of a thioester complex between Ub and the catalytic Cys residue of E6AP represents an essential intermediate step in E6AP-mediated ubiquitination.

A chemical investigation of the soil-derived fungus sp. XZ8 led to the isolation of five new indole alkaloids, trichindoles A-E (-), with diverse architectures, along with seven known analogues (-). Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic data analysis, and their absolute configurations were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and modified Mosher's method.
