Deciphering the biosynthetic pathways of lichen acids
Summary Depsides and depsidones are polyketide‐derived lichen acids widely distributed in lichen thalli, yet the biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) responsible for their production remain poorly understood. To address this gap, we investigated the diversity and evolutionary relationships of polyketide BGCs in lichens.

Comparative Analysis of the Tumour Mutational Burden in Erosive and Reticular Oral Lichen Planus
ABSTRACT Objective Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory disease classified as an oral potentially malignant lesion. The erosive and reticular forms of OLP have the potential for malignant transformation, with no consistent data indicating that one form is more likely to undergo malignant transformation than the other.

ABSTRACT Background Oral lichen planus (OLP) and recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) are considered the most painful oral inflammatory diseases, with high global prevalence and significant impacts on patients' quality of life. In the last decades, researchers have been exploring mucoadhesive drug delivery systems (MDDS) to improve drugs safety and ...
