2021-04-10
In the frontal cortex, the present study found a relationship between working memory performance and activated Erk2 expression for the E2-only group, where animals that tended to perform better on the WMC measure tended to have higher activated Erk2 expression. This suggests that there is a unique r

2021-04-10
Structure and function of EPAC isoforms EPACs are guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) for the Ras-like GTPases Rap1 and Rap2 [9]. There are two mammalian EPAC isoforms, EPAC1 and EPAC2 1, 2 (Figure 1). Whereas EPAC1 displays a wide tissue distribution, the expression of EPAC2 is more restr

Introduction In most of the angiosperms, sexual reproduction requires a process called double fertilization where the specialized cell division called meiosis produces haploid gametes combine to form diploid (2n) embryo. In Vanoxerine to this, apomixis, naturally occurs in at least 400 plant fam

Previous studies from our lab looked at the effect of interfering with crossover helix interactions in TS-DHFR. One study utilized peptide mimetics of the crossover helix to inhibit wild-type TS-DHFR noncompetitively, and with an IC of 230 μM. A second study used a virtual screening approach to iden

2021-04-09
Carnitine acetyltransferase (CrAT) transesterifies short-chain acyl-CoAs, and is located both in mitochondria and peroxisomes. In yeasts and mammals this protein is the product of a single gene [20,21] and the sorting to different organelles is evolutionary conserved, although the mechanism of diffe

Since the aggregation of neurotoxic forms of Aβ plays a pivotal role in AD pathogenesis, an approach that using small molecules to bind Aβ monomers and prevent their assembly into cytotoxic oligomers attracts great interest for the development of AD drugs. Therefore, the potential inhibitory activit

2021-04-09
Assessment of DNA damage by comet assay and ChEs activity has been widely used as a biomarker of genotoxicity and exposure to pesticide respectively, to measure the risk related to pesticides in the exposed population [15]. Very few studies have explored the association between DNA damage and worker

A putative SHBG receptor SHBG R has been postulated
2021-04-09
A putative SHBG GSK343 (SHBG-R) has been postulated for about thirty years [66], [69], [70]. The characterization of this receptor has been researched by several groups. There are different ideas on how this receptor works. On the one hand Fortunati et al. provide evidence that SHBG is already bound

2021-04-09
Introduction Ewing sarcomas/primitive neuroectodermal tumors (ES/PNETs) are relatively infrequent but the second most common sarcoma of the bone next to osteosarcoma. Nearly 80% of them occur in persons younger than 20years. Most of them arise from the bone, but 10 to 20% of them from soft tissue.

Enolase as a plasminogen receptor
2021-04-09
Enolase, as a plasminogen receptor and activator localized on the surface of several helminths, can interact with the host fibrinolytic system (Yang et al., 2010, Du et al., 2009, de la Torre-Escudero et al., 2010). The enzyme is also one of excretory/secretory (ES) products in some helminths, such

The Wnt catenin signaling pathway
2021-04-09
The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is a downstream target of SOX9 and is involved in a variety of cellular responses, including cell migration, proliferation, and differentiation [14]. Several studies have identified the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway as essential for cartilage function, and it is

The two most important biological machineries controlling proteostasis, PQC, and degradation are autophagy and the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) (). Autophagy is a lysosome-dependent, tightly regulated catabolic process that degrades unwanted cell organelles and cytoplasmic constituents in lyso

Moreover, in this study, weak expression of MT1 and MT2 was also detected in the oviduct muscular layers. Although there are no reports regarding the role of MT1 and MT2 in oviduct muscular layers, previous studies have demonstrated that melatonin plays an important role in the uterine contractility

Programmed cellular death or apoptosis is a process genetically controlled that plays an important role in cellular homeostasis, being an important defense mechanism to remove cells that have been infected, damaged or mutated (Smith and Smith, 2012, Wlodkowic et al., 2011). Nevertheless, apoptosis s
