Ocular Gene Transfer In The Spotlight: Implications Of Newspaper Content For Clinical Communications, Shelly Benjaminy, Tania M. Bubela 2024 University of Alberta, Canada

Ocular Gene Transfer In The Spotlight: Implications Of Newspaper Content For Clinical Communications, Shelly Benjaminy, Tania M. Bubela

Office of the Provost

Background: Ocular gene transfer clinical trials are raising hopes for blindness treatments and attracting media attention. News media provide an accessible health information source for patients and the public, but are often criticized for overemphasizing benefits and underplaying risks of novel biomedical interventions. Overly optimistic portrayals of unproven interventions may influence public and patient expectations; the latter may cause patients to downplay risks and over-emphasize benefits, with implications for informed consent for clinical trials. We analyze the news media communications landscape about ocular gene transfer and make recommendations for improving communications between clinicians and potential trial participants in light of …


Dynamic Metabolic Flux Analysis Amidst Data Variability: Sphingolipid Biosynthesis Case Study In Arabidopsis Thaliana Cell Cultures, Abraham Boluwatife Osinuga 2024 University of Nebraska-Lincoln

Dynamic Metabolic Flux Analysis Amidst Data Variability: Sphingolipid Biosynthesis Case Study In Arabidopsis Thaliana Cell Cultures, Abraham Boluwatife Osinuga

Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

Sphingolipids are pivotal for plant development and stress responses. Growing interest has been directed towards fully comprehending the regulatory mechanisms of the sphingolipid pathway. In this study, we explore its de novo biosynthesis and homeostasis in Arabidopsis thaliana cell cultures, shedding light on fundamental metabolic mechanisms. Employing 15N isotope labeling and quantitative dynamic modeling approach, we obtained data with notable variations and developed a regularized and constraint-based Dynamic Metabolic Flux Analysis (r-DMFA) framework to predict metabolic shifts due to enzymatic changes. Our analysis revealed key enzymes such as sphingoid-base hydroxylase (SBH) and long-chain-base kinase …


Optimizing The Expression Of Polyethylene Terephtalate Hydrolase-Encoding Synthetic Gene In Escherichia Coli Arctic Express (De3), Jocelyn Nataniel, Maria Ulfah, Dini Achnafani, Niknik Nurhayati, Gabriela Christy Sabbathini, Sri Rezeki Wulandari, Abinawanto Abinawanto, Is Helianti 2024 Department of Biology, University of Indonesia, Depok 16424, West Java

Makara Journal of Science

The waste of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic waste in Indonesia is a pressing concern due to its slow degradation and potential environmental damage. One promising solution is to utilize polyethylene terephthalate hydrolase from Ideonella sakaiensis (IsPETase), an enzyme that specifically degrades PET. However, inducing the expression of IsPETase synthetic gene in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) has been challenging because much of it remains insoluble. This study aimed to express IsPETase in E. coli Arctic Express (DE3) and optimize the conditions to enhance its production. First, pET22b(+)pelB-IsPETase was inserted into E. coli Arctic Express (DE3). The …


Cultivation Of Chlorella And Chlamydomonas Under Nitrogen Starvation Conditions: Research Of Fatty Acids Production Potential, Affaf Kord, Samira Chader, Maha Kherrarba, Soumia Benrabah 2024 CNRDPA, National Center for Research and Development of Fisheries and Aquaculture, Bou-Ismail, Algeria

Cultivation Of Chlorella And Chlamydomonas Under Nitrogen Starvation Conditions: Research Of Fatty Acids Production Potential, Affaf Kord, Samira Chader, Maha Kherrarba, Soumia Benrabah

Journal of Bioresource Management

Microalgae are attracting particular attention because of their use in various fields such as bio-energy. The main objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of stress induced by nitrogen deficiency on the accumulation of lipids in Chlorella sp. and Chlamydomonas sp. isolated from the brackish water of El Golea Lake in the Algerian Sahara. The two species were first cultured in batch in BBM medium under basic conditions (0.75 g/l NaNO

3 ) then under nitrogen stress (0.25 g/l NaNO

3 ). After lipids extraction, the fatty acids were trans-esterified to obtain the fatty acid methyl esters that …

Journal of Bioresource Management

Dof (DNA binding with one finger) proteins constitute highly ubiquitous transcription factor gene families that are found across all plant species, playing crucial role in fruit ripening, organ development, and other activities. A comprehensive genome-wide analysis of the coffee genome uncovered 49 CaDof genes, which were described in terms of their gene structures, phylogenetic relationships, subcellular localization, gene duplication, and expression in various plant organs. In Coffea arabica, segmental duplication outnumbered tandem duplication. Expressed sequence tags were used to determine the expression of specific organs in CaDof genes. Most genes showed high expression in fruits at various stages, in …
