Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExploring the Relationship Between Skin Barrier Function, Sensitivity, and Repair MechanismsXiaoqing Yan, Yusong Shi, Jiguang YangFor healthy skin, the skin's barrier function must remain maintained. Many different molecular while immunological signaling mechanisms are involved in skin barrier control. The control of a healthy skin barrier, particularly acid mantle maintenance and proper amounts of ceramides, may help dermatologists develop remedies for skin barrier disruption disorders. In contrast, new medicines could focus on signaling pathways to offer … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 4 · 15 Feb 2026 · 1,893 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmunomodulatory and Antioxidant Activities of Selenium-Enriched Polysaccharides from Epimedium and Isatis IndigoticaRui Zhang, Jin Li, Jiajia ZhouThis study aims to investigate the effects of selenium modification on polysaccharides derived from two traditional Chinese medicinal herbs-Epimedium (Yinyanghuo) and Isatis root (Banlangen)-in enhancing immune function and antioxidant activity. The purpose is to explore the relationship between structure and function, providing a theoretical basis for the development of efficient plant-based functional antioxidants.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiscovery of a New Thermostable Chitinase from Streptomyces No. 6Xiaowen Que, Yonghong Bao, Qing Liu et al.Chitinases are a class of hydrolases that hydrolyze the β-1, 4-glycosidic bonds between N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) in chitin. Among chitinases, thermophilic chitinases and thermostable chitinases have received extensive attention in recent years due to their ability to tolerate higher temperatures and maintain enzyme stability for a longer period of time. However, it has previously been observed that not all chitinases are … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 3 · 1 Aug 2024 · 5,115 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUnveiling the Impact of Endogenous Sialidases on Human Non-Infectious Disease PathogenesisRaisa Sergeevna Surkova, Anastasia Vladimirovna Poznyak, Dmitry Alexandrovich Kashirskikh et al.In our review, we have compiled existing information regarding the role of endogenous sialidases (neuraminidases) in the initiation and development of various non-infectious processes in humans. Precisely, pathologies of the cardiovascular system, tumor formations, neurological and metabolic disorders, and hereditary diseases. Sialidases appeared to be widely involved in a variety of human pathologies. An increase or decrease in the enzymatic … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 3 · 10 Feb 2024 · 4,546 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrevention of Heat Stress in Lactating CowsVladimir Zaitsev, Vasily Korotkiy, Nadezhda Bogolyubova et al.In summer, when the air temperature rises, dairy cattle are very susceptible to heat stress, which results in a significant decline in productivity. The goal of the study is to assess how a Coniferous Energy Supplement (CES) made from raw materials derived from forestry waste affects lactating cows' ruminal digestion, milk production, and quality in extreme temperatures. Two sets of … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 19 Dec 2023 · 5,113 accessesView PDFCite
