The paper is concerned with the results of investigation of serum lipid, phospholipid and lipoprotein spectra in 31 sibs, 100 children with diabetes mellitus (DM), 83 women in birth with DM and their fetuses. This study showed a necessity of planned investigation of sibs not only for the detection of glucose tolerance but also of primary and secondary dyslipemia. In children with manifest DM the ratio of lipid, phospholipid and lipoprotein fractions was disturbed and depended upon a degree of compensation, a period of disease and a dose of insulin. The type of changes in the women in birth with DM was the same as during pregnancy: there was an increase in the concentration of total lipids and some of their fractions: nonesterified fatty acids, triglycerides, cholesterol, and atherogenic lipoproteins. Liposynthetic activation observed in infants born to DM mothers, was associated with the metabolic effects of insulin, of which a degree of hypersecretion seemed to determine the type of lipidograms.

The first total synthesis of cyclic depsipeptide antibiotic LL-A0341β (LL) is described. The configuration of the β-methyltryptophan (β-MeTrp) residue was established by preparing all four stereoisomers of Fmoc-β-MeTrp which were used for the synthesis of LL via Fmoc solid phase peptide synthesis. The most active of the four peptides was the one containing (2,3)-β-MeTrp.

Graphene and its derivatives, such as graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO), have propelled advancements in biosensor research owing to their unique physicochemical and electronic characteristics. To ensure their safe and effective utilization in biological environments, it is crucial to understand how these graphene-based nanomaterials (GNMs) interact with a biological milieu. The present study depicts GNM-induced structural changes in a self-assembled phospholipid monolayer formed at an air-water interface that can be considered to represent one of the leaflets of a cellular membrane.

Objective: Previous studies have established a causal relationship between metabolites and breast cancer (BC), but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Thus, we aimed to investigate the genetic relationship between metabolites and BC, including its subtypes, using Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.
Methods: Utilizing the latest and most comprehensive summary statistics from genome-wide association studies we conducted an Mendelian randomization study.

In recent years, the use of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in the treatment of cancer has received widespread attention. Treatment of tumors using TCM can effectively reduce the side effects of anti-tumor drugs, meanwhile to improve the treatment efficacy of patients. However, most of the active ingredients in TCM, such as saponins, alkaloids, flavonoids, volatile oils, etc.

Asparagine endopeptidase (AEP) is ubiquitously expressed in both physiological and pathological contexts, yet its precise role and functional mechanism in breast cancer remain elusive. Here, we identified increased AEP expression in breast cancer tissues, which correlated with poorer survival rates and a propensity for lung metastasis among breast cancer patients. Loss of AEP impaired colony formation by breast cancer cells in vitro and suppressed lung metastasis in mice.
