Article Abstract
Nucleosides and purine analogues have multiple functions in cell physiology, food additives, and pharmaceuticals, and some are produced on a large scale using different microorganisms. However, biosynthesis of purines is still lacking. In the present study, we engineered the purine biosynthesis pathway, branched pathways, and a global regulator to ensure highly efficient hypoxanthine production by . The engineered strain Q2973 produced 1243 mg/L hypoxanthine in fed-batch fermentation, accompanied by an extremely low accumulation of byproducts such as acetate and xanthine. We also performed global gene expression analysis to illustrate the mechanism for improving hypoxanthine production. This study demonstrated the feasibility of large-scale hypoxanthine production byan engineered . strain, and provides a reference for subsequent studies on purine analogues and nucleosides.

RNA G-quadruplexes (rG4s) are emerging as vital structural elements involved in processes like gene regulation, translation, and genome stability. Found in untranslated regions of messenger RNAs (mRNAs), they influence translation efficiency and mRNA localization. Additionally, rG4s of long noncoding RNAs and telomeric RNA play roles in RNA processing and cellular aging.

Increasing oxygen transport through elevated hemoglobin concentration and red blood cell mass is a key objective of blood doping, commonly achieved via recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) administration or blood transfusions. While the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP) offers an effective indirect tool for detecting such manipulations, its sensitivity and specificity may be limited, particularly in cases involving microdoses or confounding physiological factors. To address these limitations, the identification of novel biomarkers that complement current ABP markers is essential.

Purpose: Brain metastases (BrMs) frequently manifest in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and the optimal treatment approach for these individuals remains controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of adding pemetrexed-platinum chemotherapy to first-line gefitinib in EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients with BrMs, considering the perspective of the Chinese healthcare system.
Patients And Methods: Constructing a Markov model, we simulated disease progression over a 10-year horizon in 4-week intervals.

To explore the predictive role of dynamic changes in serum Golgi protein 73 (GP73) and its inflammatory influencing factors on the reversal of hepatitis B virus-related liver fibrosis. Two hundred and seventy-eight patients with hepatitis B virus-related liver fibrosis who received entecavir or combined Fuzheng Huayu tablets treatment and completed two liver biopsies (biopsy) in Shuguang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from September 2014 to July 2019 were selected. The correlation between serum GP73 level and fibrosis stage (Ishak) and inflammation grade (HAI) was analyzed.

Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), one of the arthropod-borne viruses, has been affecting the global population for more than 70 years since it was first described with more than 620,000 cases in 2024 alone. Despite its long-standing problem, the only treatment available for chikungunya-infected patients is supportive treatment to alleviate pain. Fluorescent molecules have been used in detecting viral infection in the host cells via immunofluorescence assays because of their sensitivity.
