Protein engineering strategies to optimise recombinant product synthesis and accumulation in Nicotiana benthamiana

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, Page 31-43, January 2026.
Summary In plant molecular farming, recombinant products include traditional protein targets, such as antibodies, antigens, and enzymes, but also increasingly refers to high‐value peptides, and small molecules produced by heterologous enzymatic pathways.

Exploring the Cancer Therapeutic Potential of Traditional Medicinal Plants by Modulating the Apoptotic Pathway

open access: yesBioMed Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Introduction Cancer is a versatile disease with a high rate of relapse and mortality. Despite the presence of various treatment modalities, there is a serious need for the development of its management. Phytochemicals, which are abundant in nature, can be turned into novel medications for these types of diseases by optimizing their functions and ...

A Gene Cluster for the Biosynthesis of Dibenzodioxocinons in the Endophyte Pestalotiopsis microspora, a Taxol Producer

open access: yesJournal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2019
The fungal products dibenzodioxocinones promise a novel class of inhibitors against cholesterol ester transfer protein (CEPT). Knowledge as to their biosynthesis is scarce. In this report, we characterized four more dibenzodioxocinones, which along with a previously described member pestalotiollide B, delimit the dominant spectrum of secondary ...

Chemoresistome mapping in individual breast cancer patients unravels diversity in dynamic transcriptional adaptation

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, Volume 19, Issue 12, Page 3665-3684, December 2025.
This study used longitudinal transcriptomics and gene‐pattern classification to uncover patient‐specific mechanisms of chemotherapy resistance in breast cancer. Findings reveal preexisting drug‐tolerant states in primary tumors and diverse gene rewiring patterns across patients, converging on a few dysregulated functional modules. Despite receiving the

Studies on the total synthesis of putative intermediates in the biosynthesis of taxol

open access: yes, 2003
The exploration of several strategies for the synthesis of taxoids useful for studying the biosynthesis of taxol is presented. The approaches described include attempts to access the taxane carbon skeleton through closure of the B-ring across the C-2 – C-3 bond or the C-10 – C-11 bond, as well as attempts to form the A- and B-rings using an ...

Identification of a Pair of Linear or Cyclic Naturally Inspired Bifunctional Lipopeptide Antibiotics That Overcome Antimicrobial Resistance

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 45, December 4, 2025.
The underexplored bacterial genus Aquimarina harbors a large biosynthetic potential for discovering new antibiotics. Here, the authors identify a pair of linear or cyclic bifunctional cationic lipopeptide antibiotics, aquicidine L and C4, inspired by the aquicidine gene cluster from Aquimarina.

Downstream reactions and engineering in the microbially reconstituted pathway for Taxol [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Taxol (a trademarked product of Bristol-Myers Squibb) is a complex isoprenoid natural product which has displayed potent anticancer activity. Originally isolated from the Pacific yew tree (Taxus brevifolia), Taxol has been mass-produced through processes
