  • Publication number: 20240067996
    Abstract: The invention provides a Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain for producing a human milk lipid substitute. By integrating a heterologous lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase into Saccharomyces cerevisiae and knocking out its own natural lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase, the content of palmitic acid (C16:0) at Sn-2 position of triacylglycerol produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae is increased, to synthesize a human milk lipid substitute. On this basis, a metabolic pathway related gene is knocked out, to further increase the content of human milk lipid substitute in the product. In the present invention, a human milk lipid substitute is de novo synthesized by Saccharomyces cerevisiae for the first time, in which the total fatty acid is 15% or more, and the relative content of C16:0 at Sn-2 position reaches about 60%.

  • Publication number: 20240048287
    Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for network coding for dual connectivity are disclosed herein. A base station (BS) sends encoded symbols from a first network coding layer to a first radio link control (RLC) layer and transmits, to a user equipment (UE), encoded data comprising the encoded symbols. The BS also transmits encoded data to a road side unit (RSU) for passing to the UE as a split transmission. The UE can receive encoded packets from the BS and RSU at a network coding layer via a second RLC layer. The UE recovers source packets from the encoded packets with a rateless network code at the network coding layer. The UE sequences the source packets into an ordered set of source packets at the network coding layer and sends the ordered set of source packets from the network coding layer to a packet data convergence protocol layer for processing.
