In higher plants the thylakoid embedded pigment-protein complexes, photosystem (PS) I and PSII together with their respective light harvesting complex (LHC) antennas work in series to harvest solar energy and convert it ...

The expression and replication of genetic information forms the basis of life. The first step of gene expression, the transcription of DNA into RNA, is carried out in all organisms by multisubunit RNA polymerase enzymes ...

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 ...

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 ...

Sea buckthorn (Hippophaë rhamnoides L., SB) is regarded as a raw material of high economic value and a source of many health-related bioactive compounds, such as flavonol glycosides (FGs), proanthocyanidins (PAs) and ethyl ...

The life cycle of food trends have shortened considerably, but freshness and local origin seem to retain their appeal. These two concepts are often discussed in academic as well as consumer contexts, but they lack generally ...

The genetic engineering of cyanobacteria is seen as a promising strategy to develop future photosynthetic microbial cell factories capable of generating carbon-based compounds from water, CO2 and solar energy. This synthetic ...

Photosynthesis allows plants to store light energy in organic compounds. Plants have an efficient apparatus to harvest photons from sunlight and use the energy to split water and transport electrons to specific high-energy ...

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 ...

Mushrooms have been part of the human diet for many millennia. They represent an evolutionarily old and large group of edible organisms. Finnish people have a long history of picking and using wild mushrooms for food ...
