Zingerone, a component of dried ginger, has known anti-ulcer and bone growth-promoting effects, but its impact on postmenopausal osteoporosis (PO) is unclear. This study investigates the therapeutic potential and underlying mechanisms of zingerone in PO. A concentration-dependent effect identifie...
Biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) encoding the production of bacteriocins are widespread among bacterial isolates and are important genetic determinants of competitive fitness within a given habitat. Staphylococci produce a tremendous diversity of compounds, and the corresponding BGCs are frequen...
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Phaeodactylum tricornutum, a model organism of diatoms, plays a crucial role in Earth's primary productivity. Investigating its cellular response to grazing pressure is highly significant for the marine ecological environment. Furthermore, the integration of mult...
ATP13A4 is a polyamine transporter enriched in astrocytes that regulates extracellular polyamine homeostasis. This study contains targeted LC-MS/MS metabolomics data from ATP13A4-deficient cellular and mouse models, including C8-D1A astrocytic cells, astrocyte-conditioned medium, mouse cortex, pl...
The timing of dietary fat intake influences metabolic health. However, the impact of the timing of unsaturated fat (USFA) intake on glycemic control has yet to be explored. This 12-week, double-blind, randomized, controlled, 2 x 2 factorial-designed feeding trial investigated the effects of timin...
Microglia, the brain’s primary resident immune cells, can assume various phenotypes with diverse functional outcomes on brain homeostasis. In Alzheimer’s disease (AD), where microglia are a leading causal cell type, the identity of microglia subsets that drive neurodegeneration remains unresolved...
