Therapeutic Modulation of Inflammatory Signaling via Physalis Peruviana-Derived Exosomes: A Targeted Effect on IKK/NFκB/STAT1. [PDF]
Exosomes derived from Physalis peruviana contain various bioactive compounds, such as RNAs, proteins, and secondary metabolites. These exosomes have been shown to contain different types of carotenoids that may have therapeutic properties. Physalis peruviana exosomes are capable of exhibiting anti‐inflammatory effects by influencing the IKK/NFκB/STAT1 ...

Nutritional Aspects of Phytoene and Phytofluene, Carotenoid Precursors to Lycopene [PDF]
Epidemiological studies suggest an inverse relationship between tomato consumption and serum and tissue lycopene (LYC) levels with risk of some chronic diseases, including several cancers and cardiovascular disease. LYC, the red carotenoid found in tomatoes, is often considered to be the primary bioactive carotenoid in tomatoes that mediates health ...

The FIBRILLIN multigene family in tomato, their roles in plastoglobuli structure and metabolism. [PDF]
Significance Statement A multiplex CRISPR/Cas approach has been used to characterise members of the FIBRILLIN (FBN) multigene family, through the generation and characterisation of independent and high‐order mutants. Molecular and biochemical characterisation has been performed, showing functional redundancy between members and the roles of FBN in ...
