  Polymerisation of HbS initiates the clinical complications of SCD (Bunn and Forget, 1986). The resulting sequelae are multiple and diverse, and their individual impact on pathogenesis is difficult to elucidate. Early changes include altered red cell membrane permeability (Gibson and Ellory, 2002, Le

  2021-11-19

  

  Notch signaling maintains the balance between neural stem cells and neural progenitors (Aguirre et al., 2010, Basak and Taylor, 2007, Mizutani et al., 2007). Conditional knock out of Notch causes depletion in the progenitor pool, showing that Notch is required for the maintenance of neural stem cell

  2021-11-19

  

  Lentiviruses are associated with immunological impairment in their respective hosts, and both human immunodeficiency and feline immunodeficiency viral infections increase the likelihood of secondary bacterial infections [23], [24]. Recently, Kubes et al. [25] demonstrated that feline neutrophils exh

  Syt1 itself does not catalyze lipid mixing and membrane fusion. Rather, the pairing of vesicular and target membrane SNAREs into complexes serves to pull bilayers together to drive fusion; Ca•syt1 accelerates these fusion reactions so that they occur on rapid timescales in a manner that is precisely

  The importance of the histone chaperone function of Hat1p was highlighted by the recent demonstration that the catalytic activity of Hat1p is not sufficient for its function in vivo. Fusion of a nuclear export signal (NES) to yeast Hat1p effectively excluded the enzyme from the nucleus, with a conco

  Introduction Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a small (50–80 nm in size) enveloped RNA virus belonging to the Hepacivirus genus of the Flaviviridae family [1]. The HCV particle consists of a nucleocapsid, which contains the positive single-stranded RNA genome covered by a host cell-derived lipid envelope

  AURK Functions Concluding Remarks The AURKs are crucial regulators of cell division; however, little is known about the mechanisms by which these kinases function in meiosis. Recent work has begun to chip away at the specific roles that each of the kinases play; however, as more is uncovered,

  2021-11-19

  

  The CNP/pGC-B/cGMP pathway has been reported to be potent inhibitor of fibrosis, from an intrinsic compensatory protective response as well as a therapeutic in cardiorenal injury and disease states [6,12,13,22,30]. Indeed, fibrosis is a progressive process leading to increased risk for morbidity and

  Activation of soluble guanylate cyclase The molecular steps involved in sGC activation have evolved significantly over the last several years. The key studies are outlined below, but here we provide an overall summary. The activation mechanism of sGC was initially proposed to be relatively simple

  Our study has strengths and limitations. We believe we are the 1st to report a novel model of secondary hypogonadism. Several animal models for hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (kisspeptin and the kisspeptin receptor knockout) exist but we are unaware of animal models of secondary hypogonadism with dif

  Modulation of the cannabinoid system has been reported to exert anti-parkinsonian properties through different mechanisms. On one hand, cannabinoids have neuroprotective properties in different rodent models of PD, both through a CB1/CB2 receptor-independent mechanism (Lastres-Becker et al., 2005) a

  Notably, 64Cu-labeled dimeric exendin-4 subunit, which was designated as 64Cu-Mal2Sar-(exendin-4)2, showed higher tumor uptake than that of the monomeric exendin-4 subunit [245]. Besides the most commonly-used GLP-1R agonists exendin-3 and -4 and their derivatives, exendin (9-39) exhibits strong bin

  Results Discussion The twin-cysteine motif is an evolutionary conserved motif in all primate lentiviruses except HIV-1 and some strains of SIVcpz according to sequence analysis (Bohl et al., 2013). It is assumed that only those SIVcpz which have lost the twin-cysteines successfully evolved to
