CHARACTERIZATION AND ENGINEERING OF A DUAL-FUNCTION DIACYLGLYCEROL ACYLTRANSFERASE IN THE OLEAGINOUS MARINE DIATOM PHAEODACTYLUM TRICORNUTUM

Characterization and engineering of a dual-function diacylglycerol acyltransferase in the oleaginous marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum

Abstract Background Photosynthetic oleaginous microalgae are promising feedstocks for biofuels.Acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferases (DGATs) represent rich sources for engineering microalgal lipid production.The principal activity of DGATs has been defined as a single-function enzyme catalyzing the esterification of diacylglycerol with acyl-CoA.

Exploring the mechanism of bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cell exosomes in respiratory syncytial virus infection based on miRNA sequencing

Abstract The role of Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and their exosomes in regulating the host response to viral infections has garnered significant attention, yet research on their specific mechanisms in response to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection remains limited.This study analyzes changes in cytokine levels and exosomal mi
