Discerning amyloid network in plants

The paper identifies a mesh-like amyloid network in plant seeds using Congo red staining, showing apple-green birefringence, and hypothesizes its composition includes proteins and carbohydrates.

Proliferation of lung epithelial cells is regulated by the mechanisms of autophagy upon exposure of soots

This study shows soots induce lung epithelial cell proliferation through distinct autophagic mechanisms, with fullerene soot inhibiting autophagy and DEP upregulating it.

Antibiofilm activity of Fmoc-phenylalanine against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial biofilms

This study evaluates the antibiofilm activity of Fmoc-phenylalanine and other Fmoc-amino acids against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, showing inhibition and eradication of biofilms and synergistic effects with antibiotics.

Nucleation-dependent aggregation kinetics of Yeast Sup35 fragment GNNQQNY

This study experimentally validates the nucleation-dependent aggregation kinetics of the yeast prion protein fragment GNNQQNY, showing temperature-dependent nucleation efficiency and amyloid fiber formation.
