The function of Golgi apparatus in LRRK2-associated Parkinson's disease.
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease associated with the intracellular organelles. Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) is a large multi-structural domain protein, and mutation in LRRK2 is associated with PD. LRRK2 regulates intracellular vesicle transport and function of organelles, includin...

Zwitterionic poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate)-based hydrogel coating for drinking water distribution systems to inhibit adhesion of waterborne bacteria.
Presence of biofilms in drinking water distribution systems (DWDS) can be a nuisance, leading to several operational and maintenance issues (i.e., increased secondary disinfectants demand, pipe damage or increased flow resistance), and so far, no single control practice was found to be sufficiently effective. Here, we ...

Extracellular vesicles secreted by human gingival mesenchymal stem cells promote bone regeneration in rat femoral bone defects.
Extracellular vesicles (EVs), ponents of paracrine secretion, are involved in various pathological and physiological processes of the body. In this study, we researched the benefits of EVs secreted by human gingival mesenchymal stem cells (hGMSC-derived EVs) in promoting bone regeneration, thereby providing new ideas f...

Exploring Class I polyhydroxyalkanoate synthases with broad substrate specificity for polymerization of structurally diverse monomer units.
Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthases (PhaCs) are key enzymes in PHA polymerization. PhaCs with broad substrate specificity are attractive for synthesizing structurally diverse PHAs. In the PHA family, 3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB)-based copolymers are industrially produced using Class I PhaCs and can be used as practical bio...
