2021-06-21
Immunomodulation effects of certain oxysterols were previously shown to depend on activation of oxysterol-binding liver X receptors (LXRs). Recent work from our labs as well as from others has shown additional receptors linking oxysterols and immunity. For example, we found that 7α,25-dihydroxychole

DSBs can be repaired by two major pathways: canonical non-homologous end-joining (c-NHEJ) and homologous recombination (HR) (Chapman et al., 2012). c-NHEJ comprises two sub-pathways, a resection-independent process and a resection-dependent process, and can rejoin break ends with little or no sequen

Introduction Acinetobacter baumannii is a gram-negative opportunistic pathogen that causes nosocomial infections including pneumonia and bloodstream infections which is associated with an increased mortality and multi-drug resistance [[1], [2], [3]]. A. baumannii was rated as one of the critical

Films treated with Diaz-ES-VWFIIINle but not exposed to UV light supported only slight platelet deposition, suggesting that passively-bound peptides were removed under shear. However, treatment with Diaz-ES-VWFIIINle and UV restored platelet surface coverage to about 50% of the level on native colla

As temperatures increase, rates of spontaneous deamination also increase such that hyperthermophilic organisms must have efficient mechanisms for dealing with this potential hazard.8., 9. The hyperthermophile Methanococcus jannaschii has both a dCTP deaminase (encoded by the gene at locus MJ0430) an

In the present study, we investigated the role played by CRF1 and CRF2 receptors located within the mouse PAG on the anxiogenic and antinociceptive effects produced by local infusion of CRF. To block CRF receptors, we used the selective CRF1 and CRF2 ryanodine antagonists, respectively, NBI 27914 ((

Another novel finding of our study was that the global 5 hmC was down-regulated and was associated with a substantial reduction of TET expression in the PE placentas compared with the controls. The decreased global 5 hmC level was consistent with the increased global 5 mC level in the preeclamptic p

In the course of carbohydrate metabolism, pyruvate, the end product of glycolysis, is converted to acetyl-CoA, which fuels the citrate cycle for further generation of energy. In the case of elevated levels of acetyl-CoA, acetyl-CoA is converted into malonyl-CoA by the action of acetyl-CoA carboxylas

The strong adsorption of amines to the stationary phase of gas chromatography (GC) columns causes issues such as tailing, ghosting and low reproducibility [12], [13]. A common practice to overcome this problem is the chemical derivatisation of amines prior to GC analysis [14]. Comprehensive reviews

2021-06-19
Interest in the PGE2/EP4 pathway is increasing given its diverse capability of regulating central nervous system activity [13]. EP4 has a protective function by reducing cerebral injury and improving functional outcome after stroke [14], and in suppressing PRL-3 Inhibitor inflammation [15]. The EP4
