Profilin 2 promotes migration, invasion, and stemness of HT29 human colorecta...
We investigated the role of profilin 2 in the stemness, migration, and invasion of HT29 cancer stem cells (CSCs). Increased and decreased levels of profilin 2 significantly... -
Ergothioneine production with Aspergillus oryzae
To establish a reliable and practical ergothioneine (ERG) supply, we employed fermentative ERG production using Aspergillus oryzae, a fungus used for food production. We... -
Structural analysis and taste evaluation of γ-glutamyl peptides comprising su...
The structures, flavor-modifying effects, and CaSR activities of γ-glutamyl peptides comprising sulfur-containing amino acids were investigated. The chemical structures,... -
Chlorogenic acid ameliorates intestinal mitochondrial injury by increasing an...
Dietary polyphenols are thought to be beneficial for human health by acting as antioxidants. Chlorogenic acid (CGA) is abundant in plant-based foods as an ester of caffeic acid... -
Super-activator variants of the cyanobacterial transcriptional regulator ChlR...
ChlR is a MarR-type transcriptional regulator that activates the transcription of the chlAII-ho2-hemN operon in response to low oxygen conditions in the cyanobacterium... -
Effect of <i>O</i>-methylated and glucuronosylated flavonoids from <i>Tamarix...
O-Methylated and glucuronosylated flavonoids were isolated from Tamarix gallica as α-glucosidase inhibitors. Structure–activity relationship of these flavonoids suggests that... -
