Synergistic Potential of Argentatins A and B to Improve 5-Fluorouracil Cytotoxicity in Colorectal Cancer Cell Models. [PDF]
J Cell Mol MedABSTRACT Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide and the second most common cause of cancer‐related death in both men and women. Although a number of treatments are available to combat this malignancy, the antimetabolite 5‐fluorouracil has been the cornerstone of therapy since its synthesis in the 1950s.

Rubber biosynthesis drives the biogenesis and development of rubber particles, the rubber-producing organelles. [PDF]
Plant Biotechnol JSummary Rubber particles (RPs) are specialized organelles for the biosynthesis and storage of natural rubber in rubber‐producing plants. However, the mechanisms underlying the biogenesis and development of RPs remain unclear. In this study, two latex‐specific cis‐prenyltransferases (CPTs), TkCPT1 and TkCPT2, were identified in Taraxacum kok‐saghyz ...

Metabolome and Transcriptome Profiling of Chicory Roots Provide Insights Into Laticifer Development and Specialized Metabolism. [PDF]
Physiol PlantABSTRACT Chicory roots produce inulin, a dietary fiber, as well as large quantities of bitter sesquiterpene lactones (STLs), which have valuable biological activities. In an effort to understand the compartmentalization of metabolism within chicory roots and the molecular basis of the development of laticifers that produce the chicory latex, we ...
