Seedlings from the white mustard, Sinapis alba, grown under continuous far-red light exhibit enhanced plastid enzyme activities when compared with dark-grown seedlings (for review, see Mohr 1981).

The mevalonate pathway is central to the biosynthesis of isoprenoids and sterols, underpinning a range of essential cellular processes. Farnesyl diphosphate synthase (FPPS) is a pivotal enzyme in this ...

Among 312,907 identified patients with cancer, treatment groups included statin users (n = 65,440), nonstatin users who received medications that block cholesterol absorption (n = 9,289), and nonusers ...

Researchers showed that the mevalonate pathway is essential for embryonic development by promoting primitive streak formation, a key landmark for establishing embryo symmetry and gastrulation. The ...

Cohort studies report associations between statin use and improved survival in patients with cancer. We used pharmacoepidemiologic methods to evaluate the survival of patients with cancer who received ...
