Background: d-Pantothenate (DPA) is an important functional chemical that has been widely applied in healthcare, cosmetics, animal food, and feed industries.
Methods And Results: In this study, a high-yield DPA-producing strain was constructed by metabolic engineering strategies with targeting metabolic driving and by-products minimization. The metabolic driving force of push and pull was firstly obtained to improve the production of DPA via enrichment of precursor pool and synthetic pathway, accumulating 4.29 g L DPA in shake flask fermentation. To eliminate the metabolic pressure on DPA production, an amino throttling system was proposed and successfully attenuated the synthesis of four competitive amino acids by a single-step regulation of gdhA. Further minimization of acetate was carried out by pta deletion, and utilization of β-alanine was improved via enhancing its uptake system with producing 5.78 g L DPA. Finally, the engineered strain produced 66.39 g L DPA with β-alanine addition in fermentor under fed-batch fermentation.
Conclusion: This study paved a foundation for the industrial production of DPA.

Fibroblasts, non-hematopoietic cells of mesenchymal origin, are tissue architects which regulate the topography of tissues, dictate tissue resident cell types, and drive fibrotic disease. Fibroblasts regulate the composition of the extracellular matrix (ECM), a 3-dimensional network of macromolecules that comprise the acellular milieu of tissues. Fibroblasts can directly and indirectly regulate immune responses by secreting ECM and ECM-bound molecules to shape tissue structure and influence organ function.

Due to uncontrolled cell proliferation and disrupted vascularization, many cancer cells in solid tumors have limited oxygen supply. The hypoxic microenvironments of tumors lead to metabolic reprogramming of cancer cells, contributing to therapy resistance and metastasis. To identify better targets for the effective removal of hypoxia-adaptive cancer cells, it is crucial to understand how cancer cells alter their metabolism in hypoxic conditions.

Cancer remains one of the most formidable challenges in modern medicine, due to its complex and dynamic nature, which demands innovative therapeutic approaches. One major challenge to cancer treatment is the tumour microenvironment and in particular tumour hypoxia (low oxygen levels), which contributes to tumour progression and immune evasion. At the cellular level, this is primarily governed by hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF).

Background: The G protein-coupled receptor 55 (GPR55) is part of an expanded endocannabinoid system (ECS), and plays a pro-tumorigenic role in different cancer models, including pancreatic cancer. Next to cancer cells, various cells of the immune tumor microenvironment (TME) express receptors of the ECS that critically determine tumor growth. The role of GPR55 in cancer cells has been widely described, but its role in the immune TME is not well understood.

Background: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are severe complications of diabetes, posing significant health and societal challenges. Accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and elevated glucose levels are primary factors affecting diabetic wound healing. Achieving effective treatment by reducing ROS alone is challenging, as high glucose levels continuously drive ROS production.
