Cryogenic Electron Microscopy Reveals Conformational Dynamics and Catalytic Mechanisms of Human Fatty Acid Synthase in De Novo Lipid Biosynthesis
Abstract: Fatty acid synthase (FASN) is a multifunctional homodimeric enzyme central to de novo fatty acid synthesis in mammals. Recent cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) studies have illuminated the structural basis of FASN catalysis, revealing multiple conformational states throughout the synthesis cycle. These findings show that the acyl carrier protein (ACP) domain dynamically shuttles substrates between spatially separated active sites, while the condensing and modifying regions remain structurally stable. In contrast to …

Xerostomia and Salivary Gland Hypofunction: From Pathophysiology to Nanotechnology‑Enabled Regenerative Therapies
Abstract: Xerostomia, the subjective sensation of oral dryness, is a common yet frequently underrecognized condition with multifactorial etiology and substantial consequences for oral and systemic health. Salivary gland hypofunction underlies many, but not all, cases and may result from medication use, head and neck radiotherapy, autoimmune disease, systemic illnesses, or age-related and hormonal changes. Persistent xerostomia impairs mastication, swallowing, speech, taste, and sleep, and predisposes to dental caries, periodontal disease, oral …
