Promising bioactive compounds from the marine environment and their potential effects on various diseasesJournal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology - Tập 20 - Trang 1-38 - 2022
Akash Karthikeyan, Abey Joseph, Baiju G. Nair
The marine environment hosts a wide variety of species that have evolved to live
in harsh and challenging conditions. Marine organisms are the focus of interest
due to their capacity to produce biotechnologically useful compounds. They are
promising biocatalysts for new and sustainable industrial processes because of
their resistance to temperature, pH, salt, and contaminants, representing an

Oleuropein, the main bitter phenolic glucoside responsible for green olive
bitterness, may be degraded by the β-glucosidase enzyme to release glucose and
phenolic compounds. Lactobacillus plantarum FSO1 and Candida pelliculosa L18
strains, isolated from natural fermented green olives, were tested for their
β-glucosidase production and activity at different initial pH, NaCl
concentrations, and temp... hiện toàn bộ
Genome-wide identification, phylogeny, and expression profiling analysis of shattering genes in rapeseed and mustard plantsJournal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology - Tập 20 - Trang 1-12 - 2022

Non-synchronized pods shattering in the Brassicaceae family bring upon huge
yield losses around the world. The shattering process was validated to be
controlled by eight genes in Arabidopsis, including SHP1, SHP2, FUL, IND, ALC,
NAC, RPL, and PG. We performed genome-wide identification, characterization, and
expression analysis of shattering genes in B.napus and B. juncea to gain
understanding int... hiện toàn bộ
Physical and mechanical cues affecting biomaterial-mediated plasmid DNA delivery: insights into non-viral delivery systemsJournal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology - Tập 19 - Trang 1-21 - 2021
Valeria Graceffa
Whilst traditional strategies to increase transfection efficiency of non-viral
systems aimed at modifying the vector or the polyplexes/lipoplexes,
biomaterial-mediated gene delivery has recently sparked increased interest. This
review aims at discussing biomaterial properties and unravelling underlying
mechanisms of action, for biomaterial-mediated gene delivery. DNA

Vitamin D receptor (VDR) is known as one of the cellular regulators for several
metabolic pathways indicating its pivotal role in the pathological pathway of
numerous diseases. Considering the high frequency of osteoporosis and obesity
among women, the current study aimed to explore the prospective assembly of the
most frequent two VDR loci, single nucleotide polymorphism SNPs rs731236 (TaqI)
and ... hiện toàn bộ
