Abstract Background Lafun is made by fermenting and drying cassava chunks, which are then milled into flour and cooked into dough. Its quality characteristics are variety‐dependent, while it may become too soft or even liquefy during storage, leading to rejection by end‐users.

Quantitative Analysis of Binding Affinities of PI(4,5)P2 Sensor Domains in Living Cells by Using the Voltage-Controlled PI(4,5)P2-5’-Phosphatase, Ci-VSP [PDF]
Dynamic changes in the phosphoinositide (PI) concentration in the cell membrane play an important role in the regulation of many cellular processes. Of particular interest is the PI phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2), a genuine signaling molecule that, e.g., controls the function of some ion channels.Plasma membrane PI concentration in ...

Kinetics of PTEN-mediated PI(3,4,5)P3 hydrolysis on solid supported membranes. [PDF]
Phosphatidylinositides play important roles in cellular signaling and migration. Phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate (PI(3,4,5)P3) is an important phosphatidylinositide because it acts as a secondary messenger to trigger cell movement and ...

HIV-1 Gag specifically restricts PI(4,5)P2 and cholesterol mobility in living cells creating a nanodomain platform for virus assembly [PDF]
HIV-1 Gag protein assembles at the plasma membrane of infected cells for viral particle formation. Gag targets lipids, mainly PI(4,5)P2, at the inner leaflet of this membrane.

Influence of crosslinker on the properties of terpene‐based poly(high internal phase emulsion)s
Myrcene was polymerized and crosslinked with hydrophilic monomeric and oligomeric dimethacrylates within high internal phase emulsions to produce hierarchically porous bio‐based poly(high internal phase emulsion)s with tuned morphology and mechanical properties.

Reversal of ciliary mechanisms of disassembly rescues olfactory dysfunction in ciliopathies
Ciliopathies are a class of genetic diseases resulting in cilia dysfunction in multiple organ systems, including the olfactory system. Currently, there are no available curative treatments for olfactory dysfunction and other symptoms in ciliopathies. The

Covalent drug discovery: Progress against key targets, emerging strategies and lessons learnt
Abstract Covalent drug discovery is currently experiencing a boom in industrial and academic interest. To date, at least 75 covalent drugs have received regulatory approval, targeting both traditional target classes and more challenging proteins for which other approaches failed. In many cases, unique aspects of covalent targeting are essential for the

Ciliary Phosphoinositide Regulates Ciliary Protein Trafficking in Drosophila
Cilia are highly specialized antennae-like cellular organelles. Inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase E (INPP5E) converts PI(4,5)P2 into PI4P and is required for proper ciliary function. Although Inpp5e mutations are associated with ciliopathies in humans

ABSTRACT Context Placental calcium (Ca2+) transport is essential for foetal bone mineralisation and development, as well as for Ca2+ homoeostasis. Rare mutations in transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) 6 of the infant cause insufficient maternal‐foetal Ca2+ transport through the placenta.
