Thyroid Hormone-Regulated Expression of Period2 Promotes Liver Urate Production
The relationship between thyroid hormones and serum urate is unclear. Our aim is to analyze the correlation between uric acid and thyroid hormones in gout patients and to explore the effect and mechanism of triiodothyronine on liver uric acid production.

Comparative genomics of Burkholderia multivorans, a ubiquitous pathogen with a highly conserved genomic structure [PDF]
The natural environment serves as a reservoir of opportunistic pathogens. A well-established method for studying the epidemiology of such opportunists is multilocus sequence typing, which in many cases has defined strains predisposed to causing infection.

Integrated Regulatory and Metabolic Networks of the Marine Diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum Predict the Response to Rising CO2 Levels. [PDF]
Diatoms are eukaryotic microalgae that are responsible for up to 40% of the ocean's primary productivity. How diatoms respond to environmental perturbations such as elevated carbon concentrations in the atmosphere is currently poorly understood.

Beyond Moco Biosynthesis―Moonlighting Roles of MoaE and MOCS2
Molybdenum cofactor (Moco) biosynthesis requires iron, copper, and ATP. The Moco-containing enzyme sulfite oxidase catalyzes terminal oxidation in oxidative cysteine catabolism, and another Moco-containing enzyme, xanthine dehydrogenase, functions in ...

Asparagine promotes cancer cell proliferation through use as an amino acid exchange factor. [PDF]
Cellular amino acid uptake is critical for mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) activation and cell proliferation. However, the regulation of amino acid uptake is not well-understood.
