There have been attempts to stimulate the dopaminergic system to influence cognition in women around menopause who have subjective complaints about their cognition by Epperson et al. (Epperson et al., 2011, Epperson et al., 2015). In perimenopausal and postmenopausal women, Epperson et al. found tha

For this reason, downstream components of the inflammatory pathway have been investigated in the search for alternative targets. Targeting such downstream elements might result in safer and more tolerable analgesics. PGE mediates its effects through binding to four G-protein-coupled receptors (EP1-4

Upon Edn ligand binding endothelin receptors
2021-05-12
Upon Edn ligand binding, endothelin receptors can induce a variety of intracellular signaling cascades leading to diverse cellular responses such as contraction in the case of smooth muscle cells, or cell growth and mitogenesis. Ednrs are expressed in a variety of cell types and tissues, for example

2021-05-12
DDR2, although normally expressed in PD128907 HCl synthesis with mesenchymal features, has also been reported to enhance EMT. In A549 lung cancer cells, TGFβ1 increases the expression of type I collagen and DDR2. Knocking-down COL1A1 or DDR2 with siRNA is sufficient to inhibit EMT and cell migratio

We not only found that the ISR leads to attenuation of conventional cap-dependent translation with no change in RAN translation of the G4C2 expanded repeat, but also that GA translation from the expanded repeat (but not from 5 G4C2 repeats, perhaps because the protein product does not aggregate) is

2021-05-12
To explore the mechanism behind differential activation kinetics, Marcott et al. (2018) manipulate local dopamine dynamics. They show that differences in dopamine concentrations are not responsible for different D2R activation kinetics, since D2-IPSCs reach similar amplitudes at different rates in N

Introduction Malaria remains a serious parasitic disease in tropical areas due to its high morbidity and mortality rates. It is estimated that 212 million cases occurred globally in 2015, leading to 429, 000 deaths, most of which were in children aged under 5 years in Africa [1,2]. The protozoans

Previous studies showed that many steroidogenic enzymes act when the enzyme binds to the cofactor first [30]. In the present study, we showed that HPTE inhibited both AKR1C14 and RDH2 in a mixed mode when cofactor was used. This indicates that HPTE interferes with cofactor-binding residues although

Nuclear export and the functions of CRM1 The nuclear envelope provides a compartmentalized intracellular environment for DNA replication, the synthesis of RNA, and production of ribosomes, and, as such, it can regulate cellular biological processes including apoptosis and proliferation. Nucleocyt

Khan et al. studied the effects of two structurally divergent coumarins viz calipteryxin 3 and (3′S,4′S)-3′,4′-disenecioyloxy-3′,4′-dihydroseselin 4 from Seseli recinosum, in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated murine macrophages. The study revealed that calipteryxin and (3′S,4′S)-3′,4′-disenecioylo

Located on the fore-tarsals of the front pair of legs, the Haller’s organ is presumed central to tick chemosensation. Recent genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic investigations have identified several families of transmembrane proteins in the forelegs of ticks that are likely involved in olfactory

Discussion The N-terminal domain of DDRs has long been recognized as a member of the DS superfamily (Johnson et al., 1993, Karn et al., 1993), and its role in collagen binding is understood in atomic detail (Carafoli et al., 2009, Ichikawa et al., 2007). Our crystal structure shows that the secon

To get an indication whether GBM-derived 25-OHC could act as a chemotactic signal for monocytes, lipid extracts of GM133 media were used in THP-1 migration assays. Although an indirect approach, these experiments revealed that medium lipid extracts induced monocyte migration in a quantitatively comp

Exposure to ultraviolet radiation with sunlight is generally accepted as the major cause of basal-cell carcinoma (Gallagher et al., 1995). The risk of this disease is significantly increased by age. Skin cancers are the most common tumours of the head and neck region and their prevalence shows progr
