Ferroptosis is one of the cell death programs occurring after spinal cord injury (SCI) and is driven by iron-dependent phospholipid peroxidation. However, little is known about its underlying regulation mechanism. The present study demonstrated that lipid peroxidation was promoted in patients with SCI.

This study investigated the effects of sequential high-pressure homogenization followed by heat treatment on the physicochemical properties and lipidomic characteristics of liquid egg (LE) and liquid egg yolk (LEY). After treatment, homogenization and heat-treated liquid egg (H-LE) and homogenization and heat-treated liquid egg yolk (H-LEY) exhibited significantly enhanced flowability and thermal stability, with gelation temperatures increasing from 65°C to 82°C for H-LE and from 82°C to 95°C for H-LEY. In vitro digestion analysis revealed that H-LE demonstrated a 14.

This study investigates the structural and biophysical properties of the wild-type antimicrobial peptide LyeTx I, isolated from the venom of the spider , and its analog LyeTx I-b, designed to enhance antibacterial activity, selectivity, and membrane interactions by the acetylation and increased amphipathicty. : To understand the mechanisms behind these enhanced properties, comparative analyses of the structural, topological, biophysical, and thermodynamic aspects of the interactions between each peptide and phospholipid bilayers were evaluated. Both peptides were isotopically labeled with H-Ala and N-Leu to facilitate structural studies via NMR spectroscopy.

Streptococcus mutans, the causative agent of human dental caries, expresses a cell wall attached Serotype c-specific Carbohydrate (SCC) that is critical for cell viability. SCC consists of a polyrhamnose backbone of →3)α-Rha(1 → 2)α-Rha(1→ repeats with glucose (Glc) side-chains and glycerol phosphate (GroP) decorations. This study reveals that SCC has one predominant and two more minor Glc modifications.

S-palmitoylation is a reversible and widespread post-translational modification, but its role in the regulation of ferroptosis has been poorly understood. Here, we elucidate that GPX4, an essential regulator of ferroptosis, is reversibly palmitoylated on cysteine 66. The acyltransferase ZDHHC20 palmitoylates GPX4 and increases its protein stability.
