Thrombosis is the leading cause of death in many diseased conditions. Oxidative stress is characteristic of these conditions. Yet, the mechanisms through which oxidants become prothrombotic are unclear. Recent evidence suggests protein cysteine and methionine oxidation as prothrombotic regulators. These oxidative post-translational modifications occur on proteins that participate in the thrombotic process, including Src family kinases, protein disulfide isomerase, β2 glycoprotein I, von Willebrand factor, and fibrinogen. New chemical tools to identify oxidized cysteine and methionine proteins in thrombosis and hemostasis, including carbon nucleophiles for cysteine sulfenylation and oxaziridines for methionine, are critical to understanding why clots occur during oxidative stress. These mechanisms will identify alternative or novel therapeutic approaches to treat thrombotic disorders in diseased conditions.

Cadmium (Cd) is a pervasive heavy metal pollutant released into the environment through industrial activities such as mining, smelting, and agricultural runoff. This study aimed to investigate the molecular and metabolic impacts of Cd exposure on the silk glands of , a species renowned for producing silk with exceptional mechanical properties. Cd accumulation in spider bodies and silk glands was significantly higher in the low- and high-Cd groups compared to controls, with a dose- and time-dependent increase.

Background: X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a rare disorder characterized by elevated levels of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23), leading to hypophosphatemia and complications in diagnosis due to its clinical heterogeneity. Metabolomic analysis, which examines metabolites as the final products of cellular processes, is a powerful tool for identifying in vivo biochemical changes, serving as biomarkers of pathological abnormalities, and revealing previously uncharted metabolic pathways.
Methods: A multicenter cross-sectional case-control study of adult patients diagnosed with XLH was conducted.

Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common malignant brain tumor in children, typically arising during infancy and childhood. Despite multimodal therapies achieving a response rate of 70% in children older than 3 years, treatment remains challenging. Ferroptosis, a form of regulated cell death, can be induced in medulloblastoma cells in vitro using erastin or RSL3.

The amino acid industry generates significant amounts of electrolyte residues, such as ammonium sulfate, acetic acid, and phosphoric acid, which cause challenges to sustainability. This short article investigates the feasibility of implementing a plant-scale circular economy through the recycling and biological reuse of these electrolyte residues. Scenario analyses of L-lysine (LYS) HCl, L-methionine (MET), and L-cysteine (CYS) HCl production highlight the environmental and economic benefits of the plant-scale circular economy.

Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent enzymes are involved in many cellular processes and possess unequalled catalytic versatility. Rational design through site-directed mutagenesis is a powerful strategy for creating tailor-made enzymes for a wide range of biocatalytic applications. PLP-dependent methionine γ-lyase (MGL), which degrades sulfur-containing amino acids, is an encouraging enzyme for many therapeutic purposes - from combating bacterial resistant strains and fungi to antitumor activity.
