Summary: The study aims to optimize the extraction process of keratin from cattle hoofs. Through experiments and analysis, the optimal process parameters are determined, and it is found that extraction temperature, alkali concentration, and time have significant effects on the purity and dissolution of keratin.

Summary: Due to wildlife protection, the use of rhinoceros horn and saiga antelope horn has been restricted. Water buffalo horn, goat horn, and yak horn have been used as alternatives. This study combines mathematics set analysis and label-free proteomics to discover keratin-derived peptide biomarkers for distinguishing the authenticity of these different animal horns.

Summary: In this study, hypoxylaceous specimens collected from several sites in Thailand over the past two decades were examined to determine their affinity to the genus Pyrenopolyporus. The researchers used a combination of morphological, metabolomic, and molecular techniques to describe and illustrate five novel species and a new record for the country. Proteomic profiles of the fungi were also provided for the first time, using matrix associated laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/MS).

Summary: The study investigated the mechanisms of using velvet antler to treat PMOP, identified potential effective components and targets, as well as their regulation of the PI3K/Akt and MAPK signaling pathways. These components act on key target genes involved in processes such as cell differentiation, apoptosis, metabolism, and inflammation, ultimately being used to treat PMOP.

Summary: There is substantial evidence linking type 2 diabetes to skeletal fragility, despite preserved bone mineral density. The post-fracture outcomes in diabetic patients are worse, raising questions about the ideal assessment and treatment of bone health. Current fracture risk calculators are not effective in predicting fracture risk in these patients, and there is a lack of dedicated randomized controlled trials to identify optimal management for patients with type 2 diabetes.

Summary: The aim of this study is to investigate the differences in peptidomics of Saccharomyces pastorianus protein hydrolysates treated with different enzymes. The study found that the peptide fingerprints and active peptides vary significantly depending on the type of enzyme used. The hydrolysates of neutral protease and papain contained a large number of active peptides, providing valuable information for the development of functional products and high-value utilization of yeast resources.

Summary: This research utilized an untargeted shot-gun approach for the ultrahigh-resolution analysis of fennel proteins by FT-ICR-MS and a home-made Matlab search algorithm. Through the development of a custom fennel protein database, in-silico enzymatic digestion, and data processing, a total of 70 proteins were identified in the fennel extract, including both fennel specific and allergenic proteins.

Summary: Tortoiseshell, a proteinaceous material derived from marine turtles, was used to create luxurious items in the 17th and 18th centuries and continues to drive illegal poaching of marine turtles. Proteomics analysis has identified marker sequences that can be used for species identification and studying degradation patterns in archaeological tortoiseshell.

Summary: Precolumbian textiles from Peru played a significant role in the development of Andean culture. The study identified unusual fibers in some Andean textiles, which were found to come from the rodent species Viscacha. Through proteomics analysis, specific markers of Viscacha hair were determined and used to identify the presence of Viscacha fibers in selected textiles from museum collections.

Summary: Conventional protocols for proteomics analysis may not be suitable for archaeological proteins due to heavy contamination or decay. This study developed a new method to extract proteins from soil matrix, allowing the identification of fur remains as sheep and leather fragments as cow leather.

Summary: ACT has been shown to be effective, but its mechanisms of action are still unclear. This paper highlights four key concerns regarding ACT as a Process-Based Therapy: the need for further validation of the relationship between ACT and Relational Frame Theory, the use of valid measures for the core process of change in ACT, the lack of research on effective methods for clarifying values, and the ethical challenges posed by the philosophical foundations of ACT.
