Unraveling the regulation of sugar beet pulp utilization in the industrially relevant fungus Aspergillus niger [PDF]

iScience, 2022
Summary: Efficient utilization of agro-industrial waste, such as sugar beet pulp, is crucial for the bio-based economy. The fungus Aspergillus niger possesses a wide array of enzymes that degrade complex plant biomass substrates, and several regulators ...

Targeting lipid metabolism as a new therapeutic strategy for inherited cardiomyopathies [PDF]

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
Inherited cardiomyopathies caused by pathological genetic variants include multiple subtypes of heart disease. Advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques have allowed for the identification of numerous genetic variants as pathological ...

An Energetic Tradeoff Best Explains Parturition Timing in Grizzly Bears. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Capitalizing on latitudinal denning‐chronology variation among four grizzly bear populations in interior North America, and using grizzly bear parturition dates (27 Dec–28 Feb) previously predicted from anomalous daily motion counts, we found evidence supporting the hypothesis that birth is optimally timed relative to den exit to balance an energetic ...

W361R mutation in GaaR, the regulator of D‐galacturonic acid‐responsive genes, leads to constitutive production of pectinases in Aspergillus niger [PDF]

MicrobiologyOpen, 2019
Polysaccharides present in plant biomass, such as pectin, are the main carbon source for filamentous fungi. Aspergillus niger naturally secretes pectinases to degrade pectin and utilize the released monomers, mainly D‐galacturonic acid.

Multi-Omics Analyses Reveal Divergent Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Plant Biomass Conversion by Five Fungi. [PDF]

Microbiologyopen
Multi‐omics revealed strong time‐, substrate‐ and fungal species‐ specific responses. CAZymes, sugar transporter and sugar metabolic genes showed remarkable changes. Several valuable biocompounds were identified during fungal plant biomass conversion.

Genetic Basis of Dilated Cardiomyopathy in Dogs and Its Potential as a Bidirectional Model [PDF]

Animals, 2022
Cardiac disease is a leading cause of death for both humans and dogs. Genetic cardiomyopathies, including dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), account for a proportion of these cases in both species. Patients may suffer from ventricular enlargement and systolic

The PPT in Post-BEPS Tax Treaty Law: It Is a GAAR but Just a GAAR!

Bulletin for International Taxation, 2020
In this article, the author discusses the principal purpose test (PPT) included in article 29 of the OECD and UN Models (2017), arguing in particular that while the PPT certainly permits a purposive interpretation, it may not be used to build into tax treaty law additional requirements that were never intended.
