Mapping molluscan endocrinology: a systematic and critical appraisal

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Historically, a vertebrate‐centric paradigm has framed our interpretation of molluscan endocrinology, with considerable research focusing on vertebrate‐type steroid hormones (e.g. oestrogens, testosterone). However, contradictory evidence on the occurrence of vertebrate‐type steroid hormones in molluscan tissues, and a lack of the specific ...

Expression of WsSQS and WsSQS2 in Tobacco Divergently Regulates Terpenoid Metabolism and Enhances Squalene Accumulation

Agronomy
Biosynthesis of squalene in the plant chassis has broad application prospects, and identifying efficient enzymes is of great importance. Here, we analyzed the function of squalene synthase genes WsSQS and WsSQS2 from Withania somnifera for squalene ...

A systematic overexpression approach reveals native targets to increase squalene production in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Cyanobacteria are a promising platform for the production of the triterpene squalene (C30), a precursor for all plant and animal sterols, and a highly attractive intermediate towards triterpenoids, a large group of secondary plant metabolites ...

Optimizing sterile filtration of nanoemulsions through proper choice of prefilter properties

Biotechnology Progress, EarlyView.
Abstract Nanoemulsions, with droplet sizes between 20 and 200 nm, have emerged as a promising vaccine adjuvant and drug delivery system, enhancing the solubility of hydrophobic drugs for diverse applications. Sterile filtration of nanoemulsions is particularly challenging due to the similar size between the nanodroplets and the 0.2 μm nominal pore size

Contribution of Free Fatty Acids to Emulsion Building and Stability: Understanding the Mechanism From the Case Study of a Crude Red Palm Oil (Elaeis guineensis)—Based Emulsion Consumed in Africa and Known as Achu Soup/Sauce Jaune/Ncha

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
In an aqueous alkaline medium, fatty acids (from the hydrolysis of triglycerides or freely present in the oil) are ionised in order to form emulsifiers (carboxylates) which will physically stabilise the prepared emulsion. The higher the free fatty acids content of the oil and alkalinity of the solution, the higher will be the stability of the prepared ...
