2021-10-20
As a result of the capability of modulating the dynamic changes and rearrangement of cytoskeletons, the Rho GTPases, in which RhoA, Cdc42 and Rac1 are best-characterized, have been highlighted as significant contributors for orchestrating neuronal development (Duman et al., 2015, Heasman and Ridley,

2021-10-20
Cholecystokinin (CCK) CCK is secreted by enteroendocrine I-cells of the duodenum and jejunum in response to amino acids and lipids [14]. There are two forms of the CCK receptor, CCK1 which is expressed on pancreatic α- and β-cells while CCK2 is located on somatostatin-secreting δ-cells [8]. CCK r

We first set out to identify the minimum pharmacophore. Early structure activity relationships (SAR) indicated that the chloro substituents were not required and that the benzisoxazole moiety could be replaced by a number of other groups. A broad survey of “left-hand” hydrophobic moieties was conduc

2021-10-20
The presence of ghrelin's mRNA in the eye and the presence of ghrelin in the aqueous humor, along with a decrease of its levels in glaucoma, suggest a local role for this peptide in the ocular tissue [8], [16], [18]. There is no available data regarding the presence of GHSR-1 in the anterior segment

Moreover, intestinal chronic inflammation is a promoting factor in the development of CRC in patients affected by inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. We have previously shown that pharmacological FXR activation via its ligand obeticolic Ceftazidime synth

To our knowledge, the putative role of ET-1 and ETB-R in oligodendroglioma progression was not documented so far. Using primary cultures of grade B oligodendroglial tumor cells, we have here assessed the functionality of ETB-R expression in these tumors. Confocal microscopy analysis confirmed the st

Introduction Regulation of transcription is a critical event of the embryonic development and epigenetic mechanisms such as histone modifications and DNA methylation appear important in mediating temporal changes, and differences among cells/tissues, of temporary stabilized transcriptomes (Mas et

Methods Results Discussion TA-TMA is a severe complication for patients after HSCT. The pathogenesis of TA-TMA is unclear. Complement activation and endothelial cell injury may be involved in the pathogenesis of TA-TMA. Our previous investigations had demonstrated that plasma levels of C5b-

The majority of HCV-unaware individuals, for which HCV RNA was obtainable, had active HCV infection and overall almost one-fifth of them had advanced liver disease according to the FIB-4 score; these persons can be classified as having a late HCV diagnosis and are in immediate need of HCV treatment

All platelet agonists, acting through specific receptors and triggering different signaling pathways, activate phospholipases (PLCß or PLCγ) and the subsequent messengers inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and 1,2 diacylglycerol which activate inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptors (IP3R) or

Cellular directionality To obtain a comprehensive understanding of cell migration, it is essential to understand how cues from the cell’s external environment are relayed to the bms 5 45 cytoskeleton, so the cell can migrate towards the cue; a process herein referred to as cellular directionality

Evaluating the plausibility of this selective scenario is challenging because of the uncertainties concerning the biological role of calpain-10 and the significance of its variants with regard to gene function and disease susceptibility. However, from a strictly evolutionary standpoint, our findings

FFA4 GPR120 was deorphanised as the second receptor for long-chain fatty acids in 2005 [5]. Initial focus highlighted expression in the lower gut, the capacity of unsaturated fatty acids to promote release of the incretin glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) from the enteroendocrine cell line STC-1, a

2021-10-20
Dendritic damage and loss of synaptic connections correlate with cognitive decline in HAND patients. Synapse loss induced by HIV proteins occurs early and via a different signaling pathway from that leading to neuronal death (Kim et al., 2008), suggesting that synapse loss might be a mechanism to re
