Abstract: Significance Cholesterol catabolism, a potential therapeutic target in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, remains underexplored in nontuberculosis mycobacteria. Our study revealed that the opportunistic pathogen Mycobacterium abscessus contains catabolic pathways for cholesterol and 4-androstenedione, and that among strains… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/pcp/pcy005
Abstract: The vacuolar lytic degradation of proteins releases free amino acids that plants can use instead of sugars for respiratory energy production. Autophagy is a major cellular process leading to the transport of proteins into the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/plphys/kiac599
Abstract: Abstract Plant respiration is a foundational biological process with the potential to be optimized to improve crop yield. To understand and manipulate the outputs of respiration, the inputs of respiration—respiratory substrates—need to be probed in… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.950094
Abstract: Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common malignancies in males globally, and its pathogenesis is significantly related to androgen. As one of the important treatments for prostate cancer, androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) inhibits… read more here.
