Fruit processing by-products contain various classes of bioactive constituents, which may find applications as ingredients for foods, nutraceuticals or cosmeceuticals. This study explored the fractionation of lipophilic rowanberry pomace extracts iso...

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) represent a leading global health crisis, significantly impairing patients’ quality of life and posing substantial risks to their survival. Conventional therapies for CVDs often grapple with challenges such as ina...

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is a promising catalyst for hydrogen evolution through water electrolysis with low cost and high efficiency, but its hydrogen evolution performance can be further improved. Using sodium molybdate (Na2MoO4·2H2O) and...

This study employed ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) to isolate polysaccharides from Lyophyllum decastes, which were subsequently fractionated into two components, LDP-A1 and LDP-B1, using DEAE cellulose-52 and Sephacryl S-500. The structural cha...

Chrysin, a naturally occurring flavonoid, exhibits a broad spectrum of biological activities, including showing anticancer properties. However, its clinical application is limited by poor bioavailability and low solubility. The introduction of an ami...

This study investigated the capabilities of Yarrowia lipolytica strains to grow in media with different hydrophobic wastes from the meat industry. The yeast growth, cellular lipid accumulation, production of lipases, and degree of utilization of liqu...

The secondary metabolome of Nemania diffusa, isolated as an ash endophytic fungus, was analyzed in detail. From its cultures, a previously undescribed cytochalasin 1 was isolated using preparative HPLC, together with six known congeners: 18-dehydroxy...

Resveratrol, a naturally occurring phenolic stilbene molecule, has been intensively researched for its anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antioxidant, antibacterial, and neuroprotective properties. However, due to its limited absorption and probable hepa...

Spermidine is a natural autophagy-inducer and anti-aging compound. Herein, we investigated a potential autophagy-independent mechanism of spermidine, namely its capability to directly impede LDL oxidation, an early step in atherogenesis. In our in vi...

L-Theanine, a natural amino acid found in green tea (Camellia sinensis) leaves, is known for its diverse psychotropic effects. This study aimed to evaluate the inhibitory effect of L-theanine on melanin production and uncover its regulatory mechanism...
