ABSTRACT Transient expression of exogenous protein in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves via agroinfiltration offers a rapid and efficient platform for functional gene discovery and heterologous production of valuable eukaryotic proteins and metabolites. Though light quality is an important factor for plant photomorphogenesis, its impact on the efficiency of

How copy number variations shape brain developmental disorders: Unraveling the synaptic puzzle
Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), such as schizophrenia (SCZ), Attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), learning disabilities, and intellectual disabilities (ID), are highly prevalent. One significant genetic factor associated with NDDs is copy number variations (CNVs), which are structural changes in the ...

Subcutaneous Levodopa in Parkinson's Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
ABSTRACT Background Many Parkinson's disease patients receiving oral levodopa/carbidopa experience a troublesome wearing off effect. Higher doses to mitigate OFF‐time are limited by adverse effects occurring at peak dopamine levels, particularly dyskinesia.

Coupling S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methylation to growth: Design and uses.
We present a selection design that couples S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methylation to growth. We demonstrate its use in improving the enzyme activities of not only N-type and O-type methyltransferases by 2-fold but also an acetyltransferase of another

Psychosis-inducing effects of cannabis are related to both childhood abuse and COMT genotypes [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: To test whether the association between childhood abuse, cannabis use and psychotic experiences (PEs) was moderated by the COMT (catechol-O-methyltransferase) gene.

Mouse models for preeclampsia: disruption of redox-regulated signaling [PDF]
The concept that oxidative stress contributes to the development of human preeclampsia has never been tested in genetically-defined animal models. Homozygous deletion of catechol-Omethyl transferase (Comt-/-) in pregnant mice leads to human preeclampsia ...
