Living in disadvantaged neighborhoods may increase the risk of Alzheimer’s disease by elevating biomarkers associated with inflammation and neurodegeneration.

This is a useful study in the role of CHI3L1 in Kupffer cells, the macrophages of the liver, showing that CHI3L1 alters glucose regulation in obesity. Specifically, Chi3l1 protects glucose-dependent ...

People living in more disadvantaged neighborhoods may be more likely to have biomarkers for inflammation and Alzheimer's ...

The global bioenzyme fertilizer market is projected to grow significantly, with an estimated valuation of USD 0.94 billion in ...

Chitinase 3-like-1 (CHI3L1): A potential prognostic biomarker for immunotherapy (IO) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Authors: Hina Khan, Nishant Gandhi, Suchitra Kamle, Bing Ma, Chun Geun Lee, ...

Worm castings owe their pest control capacity to chitinase, an enzyme that breaks down chitin, an integral constituent of insect exoskeletons, fungus cell walls, and nematode eggshells.

The assembled complexes showed higher chitinolytic activity and stability, compared to free chitinase mixture. Moreover, the distinct arrangements and combinations of chitinases within these complexes ...

Cascade conversion of chitin into soluble and functional chitooligosaccharides has gained great attention. However, the biotransformation route is still limited to the low catalytic performances of ...

What makes this chitinase special is the unusual presence of a CBM5 chitin binding domain. Ruben was able to show that this chitinase, which is induced in the endophyte by the presence of the pathogen ...

The group of cells release chitinase 1 (CHIT1) protein that accelerates aging process in motor neurons; otherwise this protein is present in very low concentrations in the body.

We identified that Chitinase-like 1 (CHIL1) secreted by S1P activated neutrophils may be an important mediators affecting the pro-inflammatory macrophage responses. In the injured liver of mice ...
