Identification of sugar transporter MrSTP20 responding to high-salt stress and hexoses induction in apple rootstock (Malus robusta Rehd) [PDF]
BMC GenomicsBackground Sugar distribution regulation, especially in the roots, is an important pathway for plants to cope with abiotic stress. Sugar transport proteins (STPs) mediate the transmembrane transport of hexoses such as glucose and fructose; however, the ...

Enhanced mitochondrial activity reshapes a gut microbiota profile that delays NASH progression
Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 Improved mitochondrial activity, due to the lack of methylation‐controlled J protein (MCJ), creates a specific microbiota signature that when transferred through cecal microbiota transplantation delays NASH progression by restoring the gut‐liver axis and enhancing hepatic fatty acid oxidation.

Re-examination of hexose-transporter inhibition and labelling by hexose isothiocyanates [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1987 We have re-examined hexose-transport inhibition by hexose isothiocyanates and find that the inhibition is incomplete, probably because of decomposition of the reagent. The inhibition type is ‘mixed’, because hexose-transporter ligands such as maltose and cytochalasin B only give partial protection from inhibition.
