Acyltransferases in Protease’s Clothing [PDF]
The Plant Cell, 2000 One of the most intriguing questions in plant secondary metabolism concerns the evolution of the genes required for the rapid diversification of plant chemistry. In particular, the mechanisms are beginning to be understood by which evolution recruits primary and intermediary metabolism genes ...

The role of PAF in immunopathology: From immediate hypersensitivity reactions to fungal defense
BioFactors, Volume 48, Issue 6, Page 1217-1225, November/December 2022., 2022 Abstract Platelet‐activating factor (PAF, 1‐alkyl‐2‐acetyl‐sn‐glycero‐3‐phosphorylcholine) was discovered when the mechanisms involved in the deposition of immune complex in tissues were being scrutinized in the experimental model of rabbit serum sickness.

Lipid metabolism in pancreatic cancer: emerging roles and potential targets
Cancer Communications, Volume 42, Issue 12, Page 1234-1256, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Pancreatic cancer is one of the most serious health issues in developed and developing countries, with a 5‐year overall survival rate currently <9%. Patients typically present with advanced disease due to vague symptoms or lack of screening for early cancer detection.
