Poly((R)-3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) is a microbial biopolymer widely used in commercial biodegradable plastics. PHB degradation in cell is catalyzed by PHB depolymerase (PhaZ), which hydrolyzes the polyester into mono- and/or oligomeric (R)-3-hydroxylbutyrates (3HB). A novel intracellular PhaZ from Bacillus thuringiensis (BtPhaZ) was identified for potential applications in polymer biodegradation...

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of different treatment intensities (TIs) in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Methods: The study assessed newly diagnosed, non-metastatic NPC patients from the Taiwan Cancer Registry between 2010 and 2017. TIs were divided into four groups: TI1 [radiotherapy (RT) alone or induction chemotherapy (IC) followed by RT); TI2 (...

Introduction: The population of Taiwan has a long history of ethno-cultural evolution. The Taiwanese population was isolated from other large populations such as the European, Han Chinese, and Japanese population. The Taiwan Biobank (TWB) project has built a nationwide database, particularly for personal whole-genome sequence (WGS) to facilitate basic and clinical collaboration nationally and...

Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer mortality globally, and the prevalence of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), the most common lung cancer subtype, has increased sharply in East Asia. Early diagnosis leads to better survival rates, but this requires an improved understanding of the molecular changes during early tumorigenesis, particularly in non-smokers. Here, we performed whole exome-...

Cancer prognosis requires precision to identify high-risk patients and improve survival outcomes. Conventional methods struggle with the complexity of genetic biomarkers and diverse medical data. Our study uses deep learning to distil high-dimensional medical data into low-dimensional feature vectors exploring shared patterns across cancer types. We developed a multi-task bimodal neural network...

Current genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for kidney function lack ancestral diversity, limiting the applicability to broader populations. The East-Asian population is especially under-represented, despite having the highest global burden of end-stage kidney disease. We conducted a meta-analysis of multiple GWASs (n = 244,952) on estimated glomerular filtration rate and a replication dataset...

Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) has a high incidence in Asia, with a frequent occurrence at an early stage, but without sufficient data on molecular stratification for high-risk patients. Recently, immune-hot features have been proposed as indicators of poor prognosis in early stage OCCC. Specific patterns of intratumoral heterogeneity associated with immune-hot features must be defined...

Cellular bioenergetics and mitochondrial dynamics are crucial for the secretion of insulin by pancreatic beta cells in response to elevated levels of blood glucose. To elucidate the interactions between energy production and mitochondrial fission/fusion dynamics, we combine live-cell mitochondria imaging with biophysical-based modeling and graph-based network analysis. The aim is to determine the...

Leaves of the carnivorous sundew plants (Drosera spp.) secrete mucilage that hosts microorganisms, but whether this microbiota contributes to prey digestion is unclear. We identified the acidophilic fungus Acrodontium crateriforme as the dominant species in the mucilage microbial communities, thriving in multiple sundew species across the global range. The fungus grows and sporulates on sundew...

Over the past decade, genome-wide association studies have identified thousands of variants significantly associated with complex traits. For each locus, gene expression levels are needed to further explore its biological functions. To address this, the PrediXcan algorithm leverages large-scale reference data to impute the gene expression level from single nucleotide polymorphisms, and thus the...
