Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1), a monomeric heme-containing enzyme, catalyzes the first and rate-limiting step in the kynurenine pathway of tryptophan metabolism, which plays an important role in immunity and neuronal function. Its implication in d
The basal body is a set of rings embedded in the cell wall and plasma membrane. It consists of 2 pairs of rings in Gram-Negative bacteria and 1 pair of rings in Gram-Positive bacteria. It synthesizes polymers of the flagellum, produces energy for revolution, and regulates movements of the...
The scientific study of matter's characteristics and behaviour is known as chemistry.andare different from the normal vocabulary. It is a branch of natural science that examines the building blocks of matter, including the atoms, molecules, and ions that make up compounds and their composition, s...
BBB breakdown in neurodegenerative disease is likely important for GMB and peripheral involvement in disease progression. After BBB breakdown, peripheral immune cells, cytokines, and metabolites can more easily enter the brain and have an effect on brain resident cells and neuropathological progression ...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most common cause of dementia, results in a sustained decline in cognition. There are currently few effective disease modifying therapies for AD, but insights into the mechanisms that mediate the onset and progression of di
Moreover, the interaction of a ligand with its receptor has been related to self-assembly. The morphology of molecular assemblies produced by enzyme instructed assembly of small molecules is crucially dependent on ligand–receptor interactions. For example, it has been indicated that the ligand–...
Since lab-on-a-chip mimicking the gut (hereafter “gut-on-a-chip”) is one of the most advanced platforms for the simulative research regarding the correlation between host health and microbiota, the co-culture of the synthetic bacterial community in gut-on-a-chip is expected to reveal the...

with an apparent dominance of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family and of the Nitrate transport1/Peptide transporter family (NPF). The current need to explore further hormone transporter regulation, their functional interaction, transport directionalities, and substrate specificities is briefly reviewed...
In that overall context, the aim of the present manuscript is to give an overview on what is known in the pig model regarding the fate of undigested proteins in the pig large intestine, and the production of metabolites derived from amino acids (AA) by the bacteria of the large intestine...
