Using the promoters of MerR family proteins as “rheostats” to engineer whole-cell heavy metal biosensors with adjustable sensitivity

Journal of Biological Engineering, 2019
Background Whole cell biosensors provide a simple method for the detection of heavy metals. However, previous designs of them rely primarily on simulation of heavy metal resistance systems of bacteria.

Artemether Ameliorates Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis by Repressing Lipogenesis, Inflammation, and Fibrosis in Mice

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a widespread disease, but no recognized drug treatment exists. Previous studies have shown that artemether (Art) can ameliorate carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)–induced liver fibrosis in mice.

Optimised padlock probe ligation and microarray detection of multiple (non-authorised) GMOs in a single reaction [PDF]

, 2008
Background To maintain EU GMO regulations, producers of new GM crop varieties need to supply an event-specific method for the new variety. As a result methods are nowadays available for EU-authorised genetically modified organisms (GMOs), but only to a ...

Ultra-high-pressure passivation of soybean agglutinin and safety evaluations

Food Chemistry: X, 2023
Soybean agglutinin (SBA) is a heat-sensitive anti-nutritional factor (ANF). It affects nutrient absorption and causes organism poisoning. This study explored the SBA passivation ability and mechanism by ultra-high pressure (HHP), a non-thermal food ...

Characterization of unknown genetic modifications using high throughput sequencing and computational subtraction

BMC Biotechnology, 2009
Background When generating a genetically modified organism (GMO), the primary goal is to give a target organism one or several novel traits by using biotechnology techniques. A GMO will differ from its parental strain in that its pool of transcripts will

Does the Introgression of Bt Gene Affect Physiological Cotton Response to Water Deficit? [PDF]

Planta Daninha, 2019
: Water deficit may affect the expression of lepidoptera-controlling proteins in cotton. However, it is unknown if there is a differential response of conventional and Bt cotton cultivars to water deficit, what could potentially affect the plant ...

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Genetically Modified Organisms Can Be Organic

Nutrition Today, 2021
Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) or genetically modified technology is currently considered an “excluded method” not allowed to be used in, or added to, organic agricultural products under the US Code of Federal Regulations. Despite evidence that GMOs may serve as a safe alternative to conventional crops, they are frequently associated with ...
