To counteract active glycolysis in tumors, we developed a new, convenient cell-based screening system to identify an inhibitor of glycolysis. Using this system, we searched for an inhibitor in the synthetic Carbasugar library and found two candidates. It was found that both inhibited glycolysis by suppressing the glucose uptake step in tumor cells.

Background: Botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT/A) is the most potent and prevalent neurotoxin known to cause botulism, and is also widely used in medical and cosmetic applications. The detection of BoNT/A is of great significance for botulism diagnosis and drug potency determination. Currently, the mouse bioassay (MBA) has long been the gold standard method but has disadvantages of ethical concerns, long testing duration, and high costs.

Article Synopsis
- - Insect olfactory receptors, particularly ORco, are complex cation channels that interact with various ligands, and their function can be inhibited by specific small molecules derived from natural sources, leading to reduced olfactory capability in mosquitoes.
- - Researchers developed a pharmacophore model based on structural features of identified antagonists that bind to the ORco agonist site, successfully using this model to screen for potential antagonists from a library of natural volatile compounds.
- - The study compared in silico predictions and experimental results, confirming that the pharmacophore accurately identified a majority of orthosteric antagonists, and also created a support vector machine model to distinguish effective compounds from those that did not inhibit ORco function.

Antioxidants found naturally in foods have a significant effect on preventing several human diseases. However, the use of synthetic antioxidants in studies has raised concerns about their potential link to liver disease and cancer. The findings show that postbiotics have the potential to act as a suitable alternative to chemical antioxidants in the food and pharmaceutical sectors.

Article Synopsis
- Stem cell therapies show great potential for treating chronic wounds, but issues like limited lifespan and poor delivery systems complicate their use in clinical settings.
- This study introduces a new delivery system using a photo-crosslinking collagen hydrogel to effectively transport human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) to wound sites, enhancing diabetic wound healing.
- The hADSCs encapsulated in the hydrogel maintain their viability and function for up to three weeks, leading to improved healing outcomes in diabetic mouse models by promoting new blood vessel formation and tissue repair.
