The extraordinary success of mRNA vaccines against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has renewed interest in mRNA as a means of delivering therapeutic proteins. Early clinical trials of mRNA therapeutics include studies of paracrine vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mRNA for heart failure and...
This includes both macro-molecular elements such as proteins and fibre as well as small bioactive compounds. The right panel shows the relative levels of fibre, protein and micronutrients in four groups of microorganisms commonly used for food applications based on comparisons from the review by ...
This could either be produced by the use of exogenous enzymes (hydrolysate) or endogenous enzyme in combination with formic acid (silage). The enzymes will cleave the proteins into smaller and more water-soluble peptides and free amino acids. The production of fish silage can easily be ...
Respiratory diseases, marked by structural changes in the airways and lung tissues, can lead to reduced respiratory function and, in severe cases, respiratory failure. The side effects of current treatments, such as hormone therapy, drugs, and radiothera
molecules such as H2O, O2, and hydrophilic molecules [11]. Additionally, the BBB is adorned with specialized transport proteins, receptors, and other mechanisms, such as efflux transport proteins and ion-mediated channels, to facilitate the entry of vital components and metabolites into the brain ...
We found 167 chemical compounds from 12 Grewia species, allocated to 21 categories. Flavonoids represented 41.31% of the reported bioactive compounds, followed by protein and amino acids (10.7%), fats and fatty acids (9.58%), ash and minerals (6.58%), and non-flavonoid polyphenols (5.96%). ...
Proteins, among other small-molecules drugs, can perform complex functions that reduce the drug toxicity and the immune response, because they are naturally produced by the human body. Additionally, they have the most dynamic role of all the body macromolecules and the biggest influence in terms ...

However, they are both members of a large family of mycobacterial proteins found in the M. tuberculosis complex (12, 17), which, in common with CFP-10 and ESAT-6, are found in pairs within the genome, often preceded by members of the PE and PPE gene family (7, 12, 17). We have...
