It has recently been reported that reactions can occur faster in microdroplets than in extended condensed matter. The electric charge of droplets has also been suggested as a possible cause of this phenomenon. Here, we investigate the influence of electric charges on the photodegradation of single, optically trapped oleic acid aerosol droplets in the absence of other reactive species. The temporal evolution of the chemical composition and the size of droplets with charge states ranging from 0 to 10 elementary charges were retrieved from Raman spectra and elastic light scattering, respectively. No influence of the droplet charge was observed, either on the chemical composition or on the kinetics. Based on a kinetic multilayer model, we propose a reaction mechanism with the photoexcitation of oleic acid into an excited state, subsequent decay into intermediates and further photoexcitation of intermediates and their decay into nonvolatile and volatile products.

Background And Aims: Cell wall invertases have multiple roles in plant growth and development, yet their biological functions in seed oil production are still not understood.
Methods: In the present study, the Oryza sativa (rice) cell wall invertase gene OsGIF1 (GRAIN INCOMPLETE FILLING 1) was ectopically expressed in Glycine max (Soybean) and its functions in grain yield and seed nutrition was investigated.
Key Results: We found that constitutive expression of OsGIF1 significantly improved biomass production, grain yield and seed nutrition in transgenic plants.

Cardiolipins (CLs) are primarily expressed in the inner mitochondrial membrane where they play essential roles in membrane architecture and mitochondrial functions. CLs have a unique structure characterized by four acyl chains with different stoichiometries such as chain length and degree of saturation. CL composition changes with disease and age, but it is largely unknown how dynamic changes affect mitochondrial function.

1,3-Dioleoyl-2-palmitoylglycerol (OPO) is crucial for infant nutrition; however, conventional immobilized lipase requires high-purity enzymes, which increases costs and limits industrial scalability. Herein, Rhizomucor miehei lipase (RML) was immobilized on surface-modified magnetic nanoparticles using cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs) technology to produce FeO@SiO@TPOAC@RML CLEAs. This approach combines the separation and immobilization of enzymes, allowing for the use of lower-purity lipase, which enhances its suitability for industrial-scale processes.

Patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) to the liver exhibit poor survival rates. Chemotherapy combined with anti-vascular therapy has emerged as the standard treatment, but resistance to anti-VEGFA therapy inevitably develops. The metabolic reprogramming of tumor vascular endothelial cells (TECs) plays a crucial, yet still poorly understood, role in the development of therapeutic resistance.

High-fat foods are decomposed into fatty acids during digestion and absorption, primarily occurring in the gastrointestinal tract, and numerous studies have indicated that long-term high-fat diets significantly increase the incidence of intestinal disorders. As a critical intestinal hormone, serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is involved in regulating intestinal peristalsis, secretion, and visceral sensitivity. However, due to the lack of methods capable of reproducing intestinal mechanical activities and in situ monitoring of 5-HT levels, the influence of high-fat diets on intestinal 5-HT release remains unclear.
