Current non-invasive strategies for brain drug delivery: overcoming blood–brain barrier transport
BackgroundThe blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a complex and dynamic structure that serves as a gatekeeper, restricting the migrations of most compounds...

Mandatory role of endoplasmic reticulum and its pentose phosphate shunt in the myocardial defense mechanisms against the redox stress induced by anthracyclines
Anthracyclines’ cardiotoxicity involves an accelerated generation of reactive oxygen species. This oxidative damage has been found to accelerate the...

Fucose as a nutrient ligand for Dikarya and a building block of early diverging lineages
AbstractFucose is a deoxyhexose sugar present and studied in mammals. The process of fucosylation has been the primary focus in studies relating to...

Catabolic reprogramming of Brassica rapa leaf mesophyll protoplasts during the isolation procedure
The use of leaf mesophyll protoplasts for transformation and genome editing in plants is expected due to the distinctive features of protoplasts,...
-
Fermentative Metabolism
Metabolic pathways are mosaics of a limited set of metabolic modules and prototypic reactions. Mosaic pathways also include important metabolic...

In vitro effect of granulocyte–macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) on the expression of genes related to sperm motility and energy metabolism and intracytoplasmic sperm injection outcomes in obstructive azoospermic patients
BackgroundThe presence of granulocyte–macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and its receptor in various testicular cells and spermatozoa...

Life Processes
A primary reason for the variations in species distributions and abundances across the landscape is that organisms differ in their abilities to...

Transcriptome response of cold-pretreated Pantoea agglomerans KSC03 to exogenous green leaf volatile E-2-hexenal
Green leaf volatiles (GLVs) are initially formed in the form of aldehydes, and then converted to alcohol and ester forms by the enzymes from plants....

Roles of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi for Essential Nutrient Acquisition Under Nutrient Deficiency in Plants
Plants absorb mineral nutrients for growth and development from the soil though their roots; nutrient acquisition is therefore limited by their root...

Ethylene promotes fruit ripening initiation by downregulating photosynthesis, enhancing abscisic acid and suppressing jasmonic acid in blueberry (Vaccinium ashei)
BackgroundBlueberry fruit exhibit atypical climacteric ripening with a non-auto-catalytic increase in ethylene coincident with initiation of...

Disease Resistance
Wheat plants are infected by diverse pathogens of economic significance. They include biotrophic pathogens like mildews and rusts that require living...
-
Metabolic reconfiguration enables synthetic reductive metabolism in yeast
Cell proliferation requires the integration of catabolic processes to provide energy, redox power and biosynthetic precursors. Here we show how the...
