Background/Objectives: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major cause of cancer-related deaths rising worldwide. This leading to an increased demand for liver transplantation (LT), the most effective treatment HCC in its initial stages. However, current patient selection criteria are limited predicting recurrence and raise ethical concerns about equitable access care. study aims enhance by refining HepatoPredict (HP) tool, machine learning-based model that combines molecular clinical data...
The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the worldwide spread of SARS-CoV-2, has prompted scientific community to rapidly develop efficient and specific diagnostics therapeutics. A number avenues have been explored, including manufacture COVID-related proteins be used as reagents for or treatment. production RBD Spike was previously achieved in eukaryotic cells, mainly mammalian cell cultures, while microbial systems unsuccessful until now. Here we report effective SARS-CoV-2 two plant model...
Cork oaks show a high capacity of bud sprouting as response to injury, which is important for species survival when dealing with external factors, such drought or fires. The characterization the cork oak transcriptome involved in different stages essential understanding mechanisms these processes. In this study, transcriptional profile sprouting, namely (1) dormant and (2) swollen, vs. (3) red (4) open bud, was analyzed trees growing under natural conditions. analysis indicated involvement...

Cynara cardunculus L. or cardoon is a plant that used as source of milk clotting enzymes during traditional cheese manufacturing. This activity due to aspartic proteases (APs) found in the flower, named cyprosins and cardosins. APs from flowers display great degree heterogeneity, resulting variable activities directly influencing final product. Producing these using alternative platforms such bacteria yeast has proven challenging, which hampering their implementation on an industrial scale....
