A 10 kDa acyl-CoA binding protein (ACBP) from Brassica napus enhances acyl exchange between acyl-CoA and phosphatidylcholine
Download2009
Yurchenko, O. P., Stymne, S., Stahl, U., Moloney, M. M., Nykiforuk, C. L., Weselake, R. J. , Banas, A.
The gene encoding a 10-kDa acyl-CoA-binding protein (ACBP) from Brassica napus wasover-expressed in developing seeds of Arabidopsis thaliana. Biochemical analysis of T2andT3A. thaliana seeds revealed a significant increase in polyunsaturated fatty acids (FAs)(18:2cisD9,12and 18:3cisD9,12,15) at...

Altered microRNA expression in bovine subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissues from cattle under different diet
Download2012
Guan, Leluo, Romao, Josue M., McAllister, Tim, He, Maolong, Jin, Weiwu
Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of molecular regulators found to participate in numerous biological processes, including adipogenesis in mammals. This study aimed to evaluate the differences of miRNA expression between bovine subcutaneous (backfat) and visceral fat depots (perirenal...

Most multicellular organisms form tissue networks for transport function. What controls the formation of tissue networks is thus a central question in biology. In animals, the formation of these networks often involves extensive cell movements—movements that are instead prevented in plants by a...

Vascular networks transport water, signals and nutrients in both plants and animals; what controls the formation of these networks is thus a central question in biology. In animals, vascular network formation requires direct cell-cell communication and often cell movements, both of which are...

Fall 2022
To form tissue networks, animal cells migrate and interact through proteins protruding from their plasma membranes. Plant cells can do neither, yet plants form vein networks. How plants do so is unclear, but the prevailing hypothesis proposes that GNOM — a regulator of vesicle formation in...

Culture and Characterization of Kefir Organisms to Reproduce the Health Benefits of Traditional Kefir
DownloadSpring 2020
Fermented dairy products such as kefir have long been associated with a host of health benefits; however, the role that microbial composition has in these benefits has not been properly examined. This research aimed to examine how kefir impacts host metabolic health, as well as how alterations to...

Elucidation of molecular mechanisms of physiological variations between bovine subcutaneous and visceral fat depots under different nutritional regimes
Download2013
Jin, Weiwu, He, Maolong, Guan, Leluo, Romao, Josue M., McAllister, Tim
Adipose tissue plays a critical role in energy homeostasis and metabolism. There is sparse understanding of the molecular regulation at the protein level of bovine adipose tissues, especially within different fat depots under different nutritional regimes. The objective of this study was to...

Exploring the Role of ADAM17 in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells and Macrophages Within the Atherosclerotic Plaque
DownloadSpring 2024
Atherosclerosis, characterized by arterial fat deposits, is the root cause of many cardiovascular diseases. Plaque deposition results from a series of events initiated by elevated plasma cholesterol, inflammation of the arterial wall, cholesterol uptake, macrophage-derived foam cell formation,...
