The presence of ions in the complexation of molecules can profoundly affect the structure, resulting in changes to functionality and stability. These non-covalent interactions drive many biological processes both necessary and inimical and require extensive research to understand and predict their effects. Protonated and alkali metalated complexes of glycine (Gly) and 1-methyluracil (1-mUra) were studied using infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of a cell-containing wound dressing based on fibroblasts in hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC) gel for the local treatment of deep partial-thickness and/or full-thickness skin burns in an animal model. The rats (male Wistar, n = 100) were subjected to a full-thickness thermal burn (16 cm). Radical necrectomy was performed one day after the burn.

Background: The associations of sweetened beverages (SBs) and added sugar (AS) intake with adiposity are still debated. Metabolomics could provide insights into the mechanisms linking their intake to adiposity.
Objectives: We aimed to identify metabolomics biomarkers of intake of low- and no-calorie sweetened beverages (LNCSBs), sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), and ASs and to investigate their associations with body mass index, body fat percentage, and waist circumference.

Scope: Active ingredients in functional foods exhibit broad-spectrum antiviral activity. The objective of this study is to investigate the protective effect of quercetin derived from bee propolis, a natural product with antiviral activity and modulating effects on the gut microbiota, against vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) infection.
Methods And Results: Through a cellular-based study, this study demonstrates that quercetin can modulate the activity of interferon-regulating factor 3 (IRF3).

Background: Myocardial infarction (MI) is a critical cardiovascular event with multifaceted etiology, involving several genetic and environmental factors. It is essential to understand the function of plasma metabolites in the development of MI and unravel its complex pathogenesis.
Methods: This study employed a bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) approach to investigate the causal relationships between plasma metabolites and MI risk.
