Heme biosynthesis regulates BCAA catabolism and thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue

This study shows that heme biosynthesis regulates BCAA catabolism and thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue by affecting UCP1 and mitochondrial function.

Aryl hydrocarbon receptor knockout accelerates PanIN formation and fibro-inflammation in a mutant Kras-driven pancreatic cancer model

Introduction of a terminal electron sink in chloroplasts decreases leaf cell expansion associated to higher proteasome activity and lower endoreduplication

The paper shows that introducing flavodoxin as an alternative electron sink in chloroplasts reduces leaf size by increasing proteasome activity and decreasing endoreduplication.

Integrating cyanobacterial flavodiiron proteins within the chloroplast photosynthetic electron transport chain maintains carbohydrate turnover and enhances drought stress tolerance in barley

This study expresses cyanobacterial Flv1 and Flv3 proteins in barley chloroplasts to enhance drought stress tolerance by improving carbohydrate turnover and metabolic activity.

Providing an additional electron sink by the introduction of cyanobacterial flavodiirons enhances the growth of Arabidopsis thaliana in varying light

This study introduces cyanobacterial flavodiirons into Arabidopsis thaliana to enhance photosynthetic efficiency and growth under varying light conditions.
