Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the keywordsPotential Therapies for Mitochondrial Diseases Caused by mtDNA MutationsAnastasia V. Poznyak, Nikolay A. Orekhov, Dmitry Felixovich Beloyartsev et al.Mitochondrial diseases, caused by mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), present significant genetic and clinical complexities that challenge accurate diagnosis and treatment. This review examines the critical molecular mechanisms underlying these disorders, particularly the role of heteroplasmy, where mixtures of mutated and normal mtDNA influence disease severity, and the nuclear-mitochondrial DNA interactions that compound diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. The threshold effect, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 4 · 15 Feb 2026 · 1,735 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordThe Enzymatic Role of Lipid Metabolism in Yarrowia lipolytica Grown on GlycerolRuixue Wang, Feifei Xin, Yufei Chang et al.More attention has been paid to the production of commercial fatty acids by microbial fermentation. The basic biochemistry of lipid accumulation in oleaginous microorganisms under nitrogen limitation has been extensively studied. As an oleaginous microorganism, Yarrowia lipolytica can produce fatty acid-derived biofuels and biochemicals. However, the response of the enzymes in Y. lipolytica to glycerol remains unclear. Therefore, we aimed … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 2 · 17 Apr 2023 · 6,309 accessesView PDFCite
