Selenoprotein-Transgenic Chlamydomonas reinhardtii [PDF]
Nutrients, 2013 Selenium (Se) deficiency is associated with the occurrence of many diseases. However, excessive Se supplementation, especially with inorganic Se, can result in toxicity. Selenoproteins are the major forms of Se in vivo to exert its biological function. Expression of those selenoproteins, especially with the application of a newly developed system,

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 5, May 2026.Cellular senescence and mitochondrial dysfunction disrupt adipose tissue homeostasis during aging, but mechanisms remain unclear. HDAC9 expression increases with age in mouse adipose tissue and Hdac9 knockout mice showed reduced fat mass, senescence markers, and enhanced mitochondrial gene expression, respiration, and thiosulfate sulfurtransferase (Tst)
