The nature of the allosteric metal ion M (Pd2+ or Pt2+) in complexes ML of a polytopic ligand controls uptake of additional Cu2+ ions; while [Cu2Pd(L-4H)]2+ is a highly active catalyst for phosphodiester cleavage, [CuPt(L-4H)] is inactive.

Agriculture is an essential component of human sustenance in this world. These days, with a growing population, we must significantly increase agricultural productivity to meet demand. Agriculture moved toward technologies as a result of the demand for higher yields with less resources.

Gluconobacter oxydans is an important chassis cell for one-step production of vitamin C. Previous studies reported that CRISPR/Cas12a is naturally inactivated in G. oxydans, but the specific mechanism remains unclear.

The extracellular matrix (ECM) stores signaling molecules and facilitates mechanical and biochemical signaling in cells. However, the influence of biomimetic "rejuvenation" ECM structures on aging- and degeneration-related cellular activities and tissue repair is not well understood. We combined physical extrusion and precise "on-off" alternating cross-linking methods to create anisotropic biomaterial microgels (MicroRod and MicroSphere) and explored how they regulate the cell activities of the nucleus pulposus (NP) and their potential antidegenerative effects on intervertebral discs.

Glycolate oxidase (GOX) is a crucial enzyme of photorespiration involving carbon metabolism and stress responses. It is poorly understood, however, how its activities are modulated in response to oxidative stress elicited by various environmental cues. Analysis of Arabidopsis catalase-defective mutant cat2 revealed that the GOX activities were gradually repressed during the growth, which were accompanied by decreased salicylic acid (SA)-dependent cell death, suggesting photorespiratory HO may entrain negative feedback regulation of GOX in an age-dependent manner.

The probiotic Nissle (EcN) is an exceptional strain that has attracted significant attention not only for its clinical efficacy in the treatment and prevention of gastrointestinal disorders but also as a burgeoning microbial chassis for living therapeutic applications. However, there is an immediate necessity to develop conditional expression systems that confine the activity of EcN specifically in the gastrointestinal tract, to avoid influencing the environment. Here, we constructed two genetically encoded interchangeable sensors responsive to body temperature at 37 °C, and small molecules such as protocatechuic acid (PCA), a metabolite found in green tea.
