In order to elucidate the metal-alcohol hydrodechlorination reaction mechanism, several experiments using chloroanisoles as substrates were performed. Thus, chloroanisoles were stirred at 60 °C for 2 h with a mixture of Ca, methanol and various reduction catalysts. The use of deuterated methanol and zeta potential experiments offered supplementary informations, pointing toward a probable radicalic mechanism that occurs on Ca and Pd/C surfaces.

Saving coral reefs: significance and biotechnological approaches for coral conservation.

Adv Biotechnol (Singap)

Department of Molecular Biosciences & Bioengineering, University of Hawai'i at Mānoa, Honolulu, HI, 96822, USA.

Coral reefs are highly productive ecosystems that provide valuable services to coastal communities worldwide. However, both local and global anthropogenic stressors, threaten the coral-algal symbiosis that enables reef formation. This breakdown of the symbiotic relationship, known as bleaching, is often triggered by cumulative cell damage.

The use of nitrogen-fixing bacteria in agriculture is increasingly recognized as a sustainable method to boost crop yields, reduce chemical fertilizer use, and improve soil health. However, the microbial mechanisms by which inoculation with nitrogen-fixing bacteria enhance rice production remain unclear. In this study, rice seedlings were inoculated with the nitrogen-fixing bacterium R3 (Herbaspirillum) at the rhizosphere during the seedling stage in a pot experiment using paddy soil.

Targeting oncogene-induced cellular plasticity for tumor therapy.

Adv Biotechnol (Singap)

July 2024

MOE Key Laboratory of Gene Function and Regulation, State Key Laboratory of Biocontrol, School of Life Sciences, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, 510275, Guangdong, China.

Cellular plasticity, the remarkable adaptability of cancer cells to survive under various stress conditions, is a fundamental hallmark that significantly contributes to treatment resistance, tumor metastasis, and disease recurrence. Oncogenes, the driver genes that promote uncontrolled cell proliferation, have long been recognized as key drivers of cellular transformation and tumorigenesis. Paradoxically, accumulating evidence demonstrates that targeting certain oncogenes to inhibit tumor cell proliferation can unexpectedly induce processes like epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), conferring enhanced invasive and metastatic capabilities.

Unraveling the role of autophagy regulation in Crohn's disease: from genetic mechanisms to potential therapeutics.

Adv Biotechnol (Singap)

March 2024

Sichuan Engineering Research Center for Biomimetic Synthesis of Natural Drugs, School of Life Science and Engineering, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu, 610031, China.

Autophagy serves as the primary intracellular degradation mechanism in which damaged organelles and self-cytoplasmic proteins are transported to the lysosome for degradation. Crohn's disease, an idiopathic chronic inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract, manifests in diverse regions of the digestive system. Recent research suggests that autophagy modulation may be a new avenue for treating Crohn's disease, and several promising small-molecule modulators of autophagy have been reported as therapeutic options.
