Krisanaklan Reduces Intestinal Anion and Fluid Secretion Through Inhibition of Na+/K+‐ATPase and K+ Channel Activity

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView.
Krisanaklan reduces CFTR‐dependent intestinal chloride and fluid secretion by inhibiting the Na+,K+‐ATPase and K+ channels in epithelial cells. Consequently, this natural, plant‐derived product may limit secretory diarrhea caused by a diverse array of microbial pathogens. However, by dissipating the transmembrane Na+ gradient, Krisanaklan also inhibits

Glycoalkaloid‐Free Starch Potatoes Generated by CRISPR/Cas9‐Mediated Mutations of Genes in the Glycoalkaloid Biosynthesis Pathway Enable More Sustainable Uses of By‐Products From Starch Production

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Steroidal glycoalkaloids (SGAs) are toxic cholesterol‐derived secondary metabolites present in several Solanaceae species. In potato, tuber SGA levels are for reasons of toxicity of concern in both table and starch cultivars. In the latter, SGAs bind to proteins and fibres in starch production side‐streams and prevent their further uses as ...

Rewiring Steroidal Metabolic Pathways for Diosgenin Production in Solanum nigrum

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diosgenin is a key starting material for the synthesis of steroidal drugs, such as corticosteroids and sex hormones. While the primary commercial source of diosgenin is the tubers of Dioscorea spp., identifying alternative plant hosts capable of diosgenin biosynthesis could enhance its production.

Cardiac remodelling in type 2 diabetes: Pathophysiological mechanisms and opportunities for multiscale computational modelling and simulation

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Overview of multiscale cardiac remodelling in type 2 diabetes and how to model and simulate these changes using a human‐based, multiscale computational framework. Cardiac remodelling in type 2 diabetes occurs at ionic channel, protein, cellular, tissue and whole‐organ level, affecting the electrophysiological function, mechanical
