Improving the efficiencies of photoautotrophic biofuel production: from biomass to biocatalysts
(Turun yliopisto, 2019-05-27)
The rising effects of climate change and global problems of resource scarcity and environmental pollution require a change in paradigm towards sustainable energy and chemicals production. Photosynthetic microbes, including ...
Photosynthetic cyanobacteria as future biotechnological hosts; considerations in regards to metabolite toxicity and cofactor redox balance
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-11-02)
There is an increasing global need for developing new sustainable alternatives and technological solutions for replacing oil‐based products currently in use. In response to this demand, photosynthetic cyanobacteria have ...
Dual inhibition of the vicious cycle and tumor growth in breast and prostate cancer bone metastasis – evaluation of various therapeutic approaches in experimental mouse models
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-10-10)
Bone metastases affect the vast majority of advanced breast and prostate cancer patients with metastatic disease. Since the bone microenvironment can help cancer cells to resist treatment, it is important to find treatment ...
Characterization of cytokine binding and its implications in the physiology of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans
(Turun yliopisto, 2019-06-07)
Bacterial pathogens cause severe infections in humans. The emergence of multiresistant bacteria requires the development of new antimicrobial strategies. Bacteria utilize various virulence mechanisms to promote their ...
Postprandial lipid metabolism resulting from heated beef, homogenized and heat treated milk and interesterified palm oil
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-12-05)
Today, although our food is more processed than ever the effects of food processing on dietary lipids and their absorption and postprandial metabolism are not fully understood. The lipid composition of food impacts ...
Interplay between adenosine receptors and adenosine deaminases
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-05-25)
Adenosine deaminases (ADAs) are key enzymes involved in purine metabolism and immune system. Human have two distinct adenosine deaminase isoforms, ADA1 and ADA2. ADA1 deficiency was reported as the first discovered molecular ...
Molecular approaches for mycotoxin risk reduction
(Turun yliopisto, 2019-06-10)
Mycotoxin contamination in food is a serious concern for human and animal health. Today, we do not know how to detoxify food materials that are contaminated with mycotoxins in ways that retain their edibility. Therefore, ...
Developing synthetic biology strategies for enhancing the efficiency of engineered cyanobacterial expression systems
(Turun yliopisto, 2020-05-08)
Cyanobacteria are unique prokaryotic microbes performing oxygenic photosynthesis. They have inherent capacity of the direct conversion of solar energy, CO2 and water into carbonbased compounds. Scientists’ increasing ...
Proteomic investigation of Synechocystis SP. PCC 6803: S/T/Y phosphorylation and response of proteins to bioengineering tools based on the copper-regulated PETJ promoter
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-10-16)
Cyanobacteria are unique prokaryotic organisms performing oxygenic photosynthesis. Their ability to transform sunlight and CO2 to sugar, together with the flexibility of metabolism, have made cyanobacteria interesting ...
Plant defence and stress acclimation : regulation by protein phosphatase 2A
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-06-08)
Environmental alterations challenge the plant growth and reproduction in nature and in crop fields. Plants harbour acclimatory and defensive mechanisms that become activated under unfavourable conditions to ensure the plant ...
