In this work, we report on the design of an enzyme-less sensitive and selective electrochemical electrode for ascorbic acid (AA) detection using a modified screen-printed electrode of melanin-like nanoparticles (Mel-NPs). Cyclic voltammetry shows that the melanin-modified electrode exhibits high electrocatalytic activity for ascorbic acid. The melanin-like nanoparticles serve as a shuttle to transport electrons from ascorbic acid to the electrode surface. The modified electrode is endowed with a large dynamic window ranging from 5 to 500 ppb. The detection and quantification limits were estimated to be 0.07 and 0.23 ppb, respectively. The modified electrode was successfully used to determine AA in human blood serum, urine and saliva with satisfactory recovery levels.

This study evaluates the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities of camphor, menthol and their equimolar combination. In silico toxicity analysis confirmed the absence of toxic effects for both compounds. Antioxidant activity, assessed by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) assays, revealed a synergistic effect of the equimolar combination with IC50 values of 10.

Fresh passion fruit is sensitive to chilling injury (CI) during storage at improper low temperature of 5 °C, which lowers the fruit quality and limits its shelf life. The present study aimed to determine the impacts of melatonin on CI development of passion fruit in relation to antioxidant ability and membrane lipid metabolism during refrigeration. In present study, passion fruit was treated with 0.

The human cytochrome b561 (hCytb561) family consists of electron transfer transmembrane proteins characterized by six conserved α-helical transmembrane domains and two β-type heme cofactors. These proteins contribute to the regulation of iron metabolism and numerous different physiological and pathological processes by recycling ascorbic acid and maintaining iron reductase activity. Key members of this family include cytochrome b561 (CYB561), duodenal CYB561 (Dcytb), lysosomal CYB561 (LCytb), stromal cell-derived receptor 2 (SDR2) and 101F6, which are widely expressed in human tissues and participate in the pathogenesis of several diseases and tumors.

The accurate and reliable quantification of the levels of disease markers in human sweat is of significance for health monitoring through wearable sensing technology, but the sensors performed in real sweat always suffer from biofouling that cause performance degradation or even malfunction. We herein developed a wearable antifouling electrochemical sensor based on a novel multifunctional hydrogel for the detection of targets in sweat. The integration of polyethylene glycol (PEG) into the sulfobetaine methacrylate (SBMA) hydrogel results in a robust network structure characterized by abundant hydrophilic groups on its surface, significantly enhancing the PEG-SBMA hydrogel's antifouling and mechanical properties.

Acid adaptive response (AAR) is a survival mechanism that allows bacteria to develop enhanced stress tolerance. Our previous research identified AAR in Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris, a thermo-acidophilic bacterium responsible for fruit juice spoilage. However, the roles of specific acidulants, adaptive temperatures, and acidic juice matrices in triggering AAR remain elusive.
