Behind the Paper – Societal well-being and resource use
We examine the relationship between societal well-being and resource use. We find an S-shaped link, showing diminishing returns to well-being, and highlighting the need for new benchmarks beyond GDP to guide sustainable and equitable progress. Overconsumption leads to a decline in well-being.
Unlocking mushroom treasures: the untold story for reconstructing the biosynthetic network of type II ganoderic acids in engineered yeast
Type II ganoderic acids (TIIGAs) have excellent medicinal value and can also be serve as valuable nutraceutical ingredients, yet their natural production remains limited. We have deciphered the biosynthetic network of TIIGAs and established a platform for their efficient production in yeast.
