INTRODUCTION: The mitochondrial-derived peptides (MDPs) are a novel group of natural occurring peptides that have important signaling functions and biological activity. Both humanin and small-humanin-like peptide 2 (SHLP2) have been reported to act as insulin sensitizers and modu...

Mass spectrometry is the current technique of choice in studying drug metabolism. High-resolution mass spectrometry (HR-MS) in combination with fragment analysis (MS/MS) has the potential to contribute to rapid advances in this field. However, the data emerging from such fragmentation spectra pose c...

The rise in global antibiotic resistance highlights the urgent need for effective antimicrobial agents. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) offer a potential solution to combat bacterial resistance. However, key challenges remain in addressing the limitations of current peptide drugs and biomaterials, ...

Background : Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a serious health concern that presents challenges in early detection and accurate diagnosis, thereby complicating the treatment of this liver disease. Therefore, it is crucial to explore specific biomarkers to improve the accuracy of diagnosing DIL...

In order to investigate possible roles of IDL and PIP/PIPL peptides, the transcriptomic response of Arabidopsis seedlings to treatment with PIPL3 peptide was analysed. PIPL3 (At4g37295) was chosen, as no functional data was available for this peptide; furthermore, PIPL3 was expressed in leaf tissue ...

Staphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic pathogen capable of causing various infections ranging from superficial skin infections to life-threatening severe diseases, including pneumonia and sepsis. This bacterium is attached to biotic and abiotic surfaces and forms biofilms that are resistant to co...

Cyclic peptides are reported to have antibacterial, antifungal and other bioactivities. Orbitides are a class of cyclic peptide that are small, head-to-tail cyclized, composed of proteinogenic amino acids, and lack disulfide bonds; they are also known in several genera of the plant family Rutacea...

To enhance local drug delivery and therapeutic efficacy, we developed a novel synthetic protein by fusing a collagen-binding domain (CBD) to C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), termed CBD-CNP. CBD-CNP localized to collagen-rich tissues and promoted bone elongation.

Mitochondria are known to be functional organelles, but their role as a signaling unit is increasingly being appreciated. The recent identification of a short open reading frame (sORF) in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) that encodes a signaling peptide, humanin, suggests the possible existence of addi...

To survive during colonization or infection of the human body, microorganisms must defeat antimicrobial peptides, which represent a key component of innate host defense in phagocytes and on epithelia. However, is not known how the clinically important group of Gram-positive bacteria sense antimicrob...
