Glycolipids are ubiquitous and biologically important molecules and are involved in diverse biological functions and exhibit biosurfactant applications due to their surface-active and biodegradability properties. Despite showing a wide range of biological functions, not enough commercial exploitation has been taken place. Possible reasons for this could be the lack of focus or commercially viable processes for isolation/purification, as these glycolipids are found to be complex mixtures in their respective natural sources. Keeping these complexities in view, in this review, we focused on natural occurrences, including plants, marine micro algae, microorganisms, and salient features of various chemical methods, including glycosylation methods for the synthesis of different types of glycolipids. Further, this review significantly summarises the biological evaluation of a diverse class of glycolipids isolated and/or synthesized either by partial or total synthesis.

January 2025
German Cancer Consortium (DKTK), partner site Tübingen, and German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), Heidelberg, Germany.
Background: For radiotherapy of head and neck cancer (HNC) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a pivotal role due to its high soft tissue contrast. Moreover, it offers the potential to acquire functional information through diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) with the potential to personalize treatment. The aim of this study was to acquire repetitive DWI during the course of online adaptive radiotherapy on an 1.

Background: Maintaining gut health is a persistent and unresolved challenge in the poultry industry. Given the critical role of gut health in chicken performance and welfare, there is a pressing need to identify effective gut health intervention (GHI) strategies to ensure optimal outcomes in poultry farming. In this study, across three broiler production cycles, we compared the metagenomes and performance of broilers provided with ionophores (as the control group) against birds subjected to five different GHI combinations involving vaccination, probiotics, prebiotics, essential oils, and reduction of ionophore use.

N7-methylguanosine (m7G) is an important RNA modification involved in epigenetic regulation that is commonly observed in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Their influence on the synthesis and processing of messenger RNA, ribosomal RNA, and transfer RNA allows m7G modifications to affect diverse cellular, physiological, and pathological processes. m7G modifications are pivotal in human diseases, particularly cancer progression.

Background: Fungal pretreatment for partial separation of lignocellulosic components may reduce lignocellulose recalcitrance during the production of biofuels and biochemicals. Quantitative and qualitative modification of plant lignin through genetic engineering or traditional breeding may also reduce the recalcitrance. This study was conducted to examine the effects of combining these two approaches using three white rot fungi and mulberry wood with an altered lignin structure.

Background: Osteoporosis (OP), often termed the "silent epidemic," poses a substantial public health burden. Emerging insights into the molecular functions of FBXW4 have spurred interest in its potential roles across various diseases.
Methods: This study explored FBXW4 by integrating DEGs from GEO datasets GSE2208, GSE7158, GSE56815, and GSE35956 with immune-related gene compilations from the ImmPort repository.
