Pathway Editing Targets for Thiamine Biofortification in Rice Grains
Thiamine deficiency is common in populations consuming polished rice as a major source of carbohydrates. Thiamine is required to synthesize thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP), an essential cofactor of enzymes of central metabolism. Its biosynthesis pathway has

Not all weight loss is psychiatric: Diagnostic bias in pediatric Crohn's disease
Abstract Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that can often be misdiagnosed, particularly in the female population. This is especially true in the initial stages, which are frequently characterized by weight loss and, at times, dietary intake restriction.

Covalently bound substrate at the regulatory site triggers allosteric enzyme activation [PDF]
The mechanism by which the enzyme pyruvate decarboxylase from yeast is activated allosterically has been elucidated. A total of seven three-dimensional structures of the enzyme, of enzyme variants or of enzyme complexes form two yeast species (three of ...

Osmotic, oxidative and salinity stresses upregulate the expressions of Thiamine (vitamin B1) biosynthesis genes (THIC and THI1/THI4) in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) [PDF]
Thiamine or vitamin B1 comprises a pyrimidine moiety and a thiazole moiety. Thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP), the active form of thiamine, acts as a cofactor for various major enzymes for example transketolase (TK), α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase (KGDH) and ...

Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy: Molecular Staging, Risk Factors, Therapeutics, and Emerging Trends
The heterogeneous landscape of DPN can be unified through a tripartite pathogenic model encompassing progressive stages of metabolic dysregulation, chronic inflammation, and overt neuronal damage. Within this framework, six clinical subtypes were identified, namely, hyperglycemia‐driven, dyslipidemia‐driven, inflammation‐driven, dysvascularity‐driven ...
