Biosynthesis and evolution of anthracyclines
(Turun yliopisto, 2021-08-20)
Natural products are a rich source of medication leads, accounting for about twothirds of all antibiotics and one-third of all anticancer drugs currently in use. Anthracyclines, which belong to the type II family of aromatic ...
Multi-omics study on the effects of anthocyanin extracts from bilberries and purple potatoes on type 2 diabetes in Zucker diabetic fatty rats
(Turun yliopisto, 2022-03-14)
Anthocyanins are a group of flavonoids in purple and red berries, fruits, and tubers. Anthocyanins have been widely reported to have antidiabetic effects, which may arise from the modulation of carbohydrate and lipid ...
Photoprotection and genetic autonomy of plastids in photosynthetic sea slugs
(Turun yliopisto, 2022-03-11)
Certain sea slugs “steal” the photosynthetic cellular organelles, the plastids, from their prey algae and incorporate them, still functional, inside their own cells. These animals can then remain photosynthetic for months. ...
Sensitive and quantitative lateral flow tests – with upconverting nanoparticle reporter technology
(Turun yliopisto, 2021-06-11)
Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) can be used in settings where access to a central laboratory is limited. These settings include point-of-care (POC) diagnostics performed near a patient during a physician’s appointment or in ...
Metabolic pathway engineering of actinomycetes for novel antibiotics discovery
(Turun yliopisto, 2022-01-21)
Microbes harbouring a profound wealth of chemical space have instigated tremendous attention for developing crucial therapeutic drugs. The genes encoding the enzymes responsible for synthesizing these specialized metabolites ...
Effect of Omega-3 Deficiency and Positional Distribution of Docosahexaenoic Acid in Triacylglycerols on Tissue Lipids in Rats
(Turun yliopisto, 2023-10-05)
Triacylglycerols (TAGs) are mostly chiral and they are metabolized in the chiral environment. They are not only a source of energy but also provide essential fatty acids (FAs). Long chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids ...
Light-acclimation and regulation of photosynthesis in autotrophic Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
(Turun yliopisto, 2023-09-15)
Photosynthetic light reactions take place in the thylakoid membranes, where lightdriven electron transfer occurs from water to carbon dioxide through two photosystems (PSII and PSI), between of which is an electron-transferring ...

ABSTRACT
Baltic herring (Clupea harengus membras) is a species of herring (Clupea harengus) found exclusively in the Baltic Sea. In Finland, it is the most valuable commercially caught species in both volume and value; ...
Biomechanics of cancer cell motility
(Turun yliopisto, 2024-04-12)
Metastatic cancer is a devastating disease and an unmet clinical need. The local invasion and colonization of distant organs by cancer cells are both dependent on cell migration, a conserved cellular process that allows ...
