Applying asymptotic methods to synthetic biology: modelling the reaction kinetics of the mevalonate pathway [PDF]
The mevalonate pathway is normally found in eukaryotes, and allows for the production of isoprenoids, a useful class of organic compounds. This pathway has been successfully introduced to Escherichia coli, enabling a biosynthetic production route for ...

Challenges in the heterologous production of furanocoumarins in Escherichia coli [PDF]
Coumarins and furanocoumarins are plant secondary metabolites with known biological activities. As they are present in low amounts in plants, their heterologous production emerged as a more sustainable and efficient approach to plant extraction. Although

Cholesterol, a cell size-dependent signal that regulates glucose metabolism and gene expression in adipocytes. [PDF]
Enlarged fat cells exhibit modified metabolic capacities, which could be involved in the metabolic complications of obesity at the whole body level. We show here that sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2 (SREBP-2) and its target genes are induced ...
