Mutant Branching Enzyme Improves Pea Starch Function
2026-09-04
A 2026 study used structure-guided mutagenesis to improve a 1,4-α-glucan branching enzyme from Bifidobacterium longum for pea-starch modification. The best-performing S321D variant altered starch branching, reduced retrogradation, slowed in vitro digestion, and improved the texture and digestive profile of pea cake.

BAPTA-AM: Practical Calcium Chelation Guide
2026-09-03
BAPTA-AM is a cell-permeable calcium chelator for experimentally lowering free intracellular Ca²⁺ in cellular and biochemical assays. It is useful for calcium-signaling, apoptosis, and imaging workflows, but should not be interpreted as a calcium-only reagent because it can also block voltage-gated potassium channels and may show magnesium-related interference.

GET3–MCL1 Tail-Anchoring Links Mitosis to Apoptosis
2026-09-02
Yu and colleagues identify GET3 as a membrane-targeting factor that stabilizes the anti-apoptotic protein MCL1 through its C-terminal tail anchor. Their findings connect GET3-dependent protein targeting with mitotic fate, showing that GET3 loss lowers MCL1 abundance and sensitizes cells to apoptosis during prolonged mitotic arrest or pharmacological MCL1 inhibition.

Maternal IL-17A and Neonatal GBS Risk
2026-09-01
A prospective Moroccan mother–newborn study identifies reduced maternal IL-17A, IL-1β, and IL-4 responses as features associated with invasive neonatal Group B Streptococcus disease. Its combination of clinical cytokine profiling, cord-blood analysis, and ex vivo pathogen-recognition receptor stimulation supports maternal IL-17A as a candidate biomarker for neonatal risk stratification, while also defining important limits for validation.
