Adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribosylation is a ubiquitous post-translational modification that regulates vital biological processes like histone reorganization and DNA-damage repair through the modification of various amino acid residues. Due to advances in mass-spectrometry, the collection of long-known ADP-ribose (ADPr) acceptor sites, e. g. arginine, cysteine and glutamic acid, has been expanded with serine, tyrosine and histidine, among others. Well-defined ADPr-peptides are valuable tools for investigating the exact structures, mechanisms of action and interaction partners of the different flavors of this modification. This review provides a comprehensive overview of synthetic and chemoenzymatic methodologies that enabled the construction of peptides mono-ADP-ribosylated on various amino acids, and close mimetics thereof.

Arginase (ARG) is a binuclear manganese-containing metalloenzyme that can convert L-arginine to L-ornithine and urea and plays a key role in the urea cycle. It also mediates different cellular functions and processes such as proliferation, senescence, apoptosis, autophagy, and inflammatory responses in various cell types. In mammals, there are two isoenzymes, ARG-1 and ARG-2; they are functionally similar, but their coding genes, tissue distribution, subcellular localization, and molecular regulation are distinct.

: Lipid disorders are very prevalent in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), leading to heightened cardiovascular risk. This review examines the effectiveness of lipid-lowering agents in these populations and explores gaps in the current research. The goal of this review is to assess the efficacy of lipid-lowering therapies in CKD and ESRD patients and identify future research needs.

The role of mitochondria as the electric engine of cells is well established. Over the past two decades, accumulating evidence has pointed out that, despite the presence of a highly active glycolytic pathway (Warburg effect), a functional and even upregulated mitochondrial respiration occurs in cancer cells to meet the need of high energy and the biosynthetic demand to sustain their anabolic growth. Mitochondria are also the primary source of intracellular ROS.

Introduction: The rapid progress in polymer science has designed innovative materials for biomedical applications. In the case of drug design, for each new therapeutic agent, a drug delivery system (DDS) is required to improve its pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters. Therefore, significant research has been carried out to develop drug delivery (DD) carriers for these new therapeutic agents.

Postharvest decay of vegetables and fruits presents a significant threat confronting sustainable food production worldwide, and in the recent times, applying synthetic fungicides has become the most popular technique of managing postharvest losses. However, there are concerns and reported proofs of hazardous impacts on consumers' health and the environment, traceable to the application of chemical treatments as preservatives on fresh produce. Physical methods, on the other hand, cause damage to fresh produce, exposing it to even more infections.
