Transcriptomic prey‐capture responses in convergently evolved carnivorous pitcher plants

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The Australian pitcher plant Cephalotus and the Asian pitcher plant Nepenthes exhibit striking morphological and functional similarities, serving as compelling examples of convergent evolution. Although trapping pitchers in both lineages represent some of the most elaborate leaf structures in angiosperms, it remains unknown whether their ...

USP10 in Neurological Disorders: Mechanistic Insights and Emerging Therapeutic Strategies

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView.
USP10 is a deubiquitinating enzyme that affects neurological diseases through multiple mechanisms, including the accumulation of toxic proteins, autophagy, and immune responses. In this review, we discuss the structure and characteristics of USP10 and summarize the role of USP10 in neurological disorders.

Bacterial Involvement in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Potentially Malignant Oral Disorders

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To clarify the relationship between oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), potentially malignant oral disease (OPMD), and bacterial flora using metagenomic analysis. Methods This cross‐sectional observational study included 50 patients in the control group and 77 patients with OPMDs, 41 with early OSCCs, and 20 with advanced OSCCs ...

Porphyromonas gingivalis GroEL accelerates abdominal aortic aneurysm formation by matrix metalloproteinase‐2 SUMOylation in vascular smooth muscle cells: A novel finding for the activation of MMP‐2

Molecular Oral Microbiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Infection is a known cause of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and matrix metalloproteases‐2 (MMP‐2) secreted by vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) plays a key role in the structural disruption of the middle layer of the arteries during AAA progression.

Protein engineering strategies to optimise recombinant product synthesis and accumulation in Nicotiana benthamiana

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary In plant molecular farming, recombinant products include traditional protein targets, such as antibodies, antigens, and enzymes, but also increasingly refers to high‐value peptides, and small molecules produced by heterologous enzymatic pathways.

Heterologous Production of Cyprosin B in Nicotiana benthamiana: Unveiling the Role of the Plant‐Specific Insert Domain in Protein Function and Subcellular Localisation

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant systems have gained increased attention as an alternative platform for producing heterologous proteins, particularly for industrially relevant proteins. The Cynara cardunculus L. flower extract is traditionally used in cheese production across Mediterranean countries due to its milk‐clotting properties.
