Acinetobacter baumannii DacC influences cell shape, biofilm formation, and physiological fitness by manifesting DD-carboxypeptidase and β-lactamase dual-enzyme activities

This study identifies DacC in Acinetobacter baumannii as a dual-enzyme with DD-carboxypeptidase and β-lactamase activities that affect cell shape, biofilm formation, and antibiotic susceptibility.

A Lung Cancer Mouse Model Database

The paper establishes a database of lung cancer mouse models to improve data comparison and translational relevance by aligning mouse mutations with human lung cancer mutations.

Subchronic exposure to ambient PM2.5 impairs novelty recognition and spatial memory

This study shows that subchronic exposure to high PM2.5 levels impairs novelty recognition and spatial memory in mice.

Nrf2 Regulates β-cell Mass by Suppressing Cell Death and Promoting Proliferation

This study shows that Nrf2 regulates β-cell mass by reducing cell death and enhancing proliferation, suggesting it as a therapeutic target for diabetes.

Insights into the Binding Mechanism of Ascorbic Acid and Violaxanthin with Violaxanthin De-Epoxidase (VDE) and Chlorophycean Violaxanthin De-Epoxidase (CVDE) Enzymes: Docking, Molecular Dynamics, and Free Energy Analysis

The paper investigates the binding mechanisms of ascorbic acid and violaxanthin with VDE and CVDE enzymes using docking, molecular dynamics, and free energy analysis, revealing differences in substrate interactions between the enzymes.
