  2020-10-16

  

  Cancer patients may develop cachexia, a deleterious wasting syndrome that is associated with muscle atrophy and has an impact on the well-being of patients and on the response to the treatment. Indeed, cachexia is a devastating and often irreversible syndrome observed in up to 80% of cancer patients

  2020-10-15

  

  Given the structural similarity of BMAA to other amino acids, our hypothesis was that N-nitrosation of BMAA might result in a toxic alkylating agent, providing a previously unrecognised mechanism for BMAA action. Materials and methods Results and discussion We first examined whether chemical

  2020-10-15

  

  Molecular modelling studies were performed on the hDHFR inhibitors identified (1, 11, 13, 14, 16, 25 and 32) to explore the structural basis of the interaction between the mentioned compounds and the human enzyme. The docking studies were performed using the X-ray crystallographic structure of the h

  2020-10-15

  

  An even more striking difference is observed when comparing active site residues, which are evolutionarily very well conserved in other soluble PPases 18, 19. In 31 known PPase sequences, 13 functionally important active site residues are conserved in all sequences, but only two of them (D70 and D97

  One of the features of ROCO proteins, controlled by their domain architecture is their oligomerization status. By size-exclusion chromatography and Western blot analysis, DAPK1 was proved to form homodimers via its GTPase and kinase domains [53]. Similarly, PF-562271 microscopy studies conducted on

  2020-10-15

  

  Presumably, LBPs have health-promoting activities, such as antioxidant, immune regulation, anti-stress, anticancer, neuroprotective and antidiabetic activities [[7], [8], [9], [10], [11]]; LBPs can improve the whole-body health status of mice and stimulate the expressions of IL-2, IL-12 and TNF-α,

  2020-10-15

  

  Bmp7 products, such as 7–9 (Fig. 2), are persistent pollutants that accumulate in the marine environment and can potentially be transferred to the human population via our trophic connections to the oceans (Wan et al., 2009). In addition to potentially addressing the mechanistic curiosities describe

  Indeed, some cancers may even be defined by dysregulated cyclin and thus CDK activity: mantle cell lymphoma, an uncommon lymphoma of mature B cells, is defined by the presence of overexpressed cyclin D1, usually as a result of a translocation between chromosomes 11 and 14 with the net result that cy

  2020-10-14

  

  Chemokines act as ligands for the chemokine receptors, which possess 7-transmembran domain-type proteins functionally coupled to G proteins. Leukocytes express 19 chemokine receptors which control their influx and activation at the site of inflammation. Human neutrophils express both CXCR-1 and CXCR

  The conventional medical therapy for IBD consists in reducing the inflammatory response using various strategies that exert severe side-effects, a strategy that also decreases the risk of colon carcinoma [13], [14]. During the last decade, the activation of the cholinergic system has been proposed f

  2020-10-14

  

  Multiple lines of evidence now indicate that mitochondrial decay is a fundamental factor that leads to alterations in energy metabolism in the aged heart (Hagen et al., 2002, Judge and Leeuwenburgh, 2007, Lesnefsky et al., 2001c). Nevertheless, the exact biochemical events that cause such an alterat

  2020-10-14

  

  Among the different factors that modulate Schwann cell biology, several studies pointed out the role played by neuroactive steroids, in particular progesterone (P4) and its derivatives dihydroprogesterone (DHP) and allopregnanolone (ALLO). Schwann SW033291 are steroidogenic, possessing the entire en

  In view of the hypotensive effect of endothelial-specific overexpression of eNOS [17], [19], [28] we correlated skeletal muscle eNOS expression with sBP including data on colony 5 of eNOS-Tg [17] which was used to generate eNOS-Tg/KO (Fig. 4D). We found a highly significant one phase exponential dec

  2020-10-13

  

  In contrast to inflammatory cytokines, TGF-β has immunosuppressive properties yet is also important for tissue imprinting immune cell function during development [23]. Salivary gland (SG) ILCs, in addition to liver and intestinal intraepithelial ILC1, express markers denoting tissue residency and TG

  The histologic finding that EBV-infected ESI-09 in infectious mononucleosis tend to avoid the GCs and instead accumulate under the epithelium of certain mucosal tissues34, 129 could be explained by the above-mentioned expression patterns of chemokine receptors on EBV-infected B cells. CXCR4 and CXC
