Effects of hydrodynamic cavitation on physicochemical structure and emulsifying properties of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) myofibrillar protein

Yucheng Hou et al.

Summary: The purpose of this research was to investigate the impact of different hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) times on the emulsifying properties of tilapia myofibrillar protein (TMP). The results showed that HC changed the structure of TMP, resulting in increased emulsifying activity index (EAI) and altered emulsifying stability index (ESI), droplet size, and rheology of TMP emulsions. The study demonstrated that HC has the potential to improve the emulsifying properties of TMP and can be used as a technique for meat protein processing.

Domain-wise dissection of thermal stability enhancement in multidomain proteins

Jisung Oh et al.

Summary: Optimizing the thermal stability of multidomain proteins is crucial for the development of industrial enzymes and biologics. This study demonstrates that domain-based engineering followed by domain recombination can significantly increase the stability of multidomain proteins. Independent enhancement of the thermostability of constituent domains improves the overall stability of the protein, as explained by crystal structure and AlphaFold-predicted models. This research suggests that domain-based modular engineering offers valuable guidance for multidomain protein engineering by reducing sequence space and experimental errors.

Cataract-causing variant Q70P damages structural stability of βB1-crystallin and increases its tendency to form insoluble aggregates

Ying Zhang et al.

Summary: Congenital cataract is a major cause of childhood blindness worldwide. This study investigated the molecular mechanism of the ss B1-Q70P mutation in congenital cataract at the molecular, protein, and cellular levels. The study found that ss B1-Q70P significantly changed the structures of ss B1-crystallin and exhibited lower solubility, leading to cellular aggregation and impaired viability.

Current management of infantile cataracts

Phoebe D. Lenhart et al.

Summary: Infantile cataracts are a treatable cause of lifelong visual impairment. Global and socioeconomic disparities exist in the early management of infantile cataracts. Recent studies show stable prevalence of infantile cataracts in high-income countries and challenges in determining prevalence in low-income countries. Descriptions of cataract morphology can guide surgical approach and provide prognosis. Molecular genetics provides insights into the genetic basis of infantile cataracts. Surgical techniques for visually significant infantile cataracts continue to evolve worldwide. Complications of cataract surgery in infants include visual axis opacification and long-term development of glaucoma. Better visual outcomes are achieved with early presentation, bilateral cataracts, absence of nystagmus or strabismus, and consistent amblyopia therapy. Intraocular lenses and contact lenses are options for infants. Early surgery for infantile cataract has been shown to have benefits. Continued development of technologies and strategies is needed to further improve outcomes.
