  Introduction Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent disease characterized by chronic joint degeneration, including articular cartilage loss, synovitis and osteophyte formation [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. The cause of OA is metabolic imbalance and mechanical stress, which is coupled with inflammation, lead

  2022-07-27

  

  As many of the above studies highlight, several decades of research on Cx43 has revealed that many of these functional roles are attributed to the C-terminal domain (CT) of this protein which cannot be explained by the formation and existence of intercellular channels. Recent findings on the existen

  Gap junctions, hemichannels and connexins: Molecular characteristics and function Cell-to-cell communication is of extreme importance in tissue homeostasis, which is maintained by transmission of regulatory signals (Fig. 1). Intercellular communication via gap junctions (GJs) represents one of th

  2022-07-27

  

  Chitosan (CS), a deacetylated derivative of chitin, was chosen in this study due to its unique biological characteristics including biodegradability, biocompatibility, non-toxicity, and antimicrobial properties (Klossner, Queen, Coughlin, & Krause, 2008; Kong, Chen, Xing, & Park, 2010; Ravi Kumar, 2

  2022-07-27

  

  Homeobox genes can promote oncogenesis through multiple mechanisms, including gene translocation, loss of heterozygosity, gene amplification, DNA methylation, INK 128 remodeling, etc. For instance, translocation-mediated fusion of HOXA9 or HOXA13 on chromosome 7p15 with the nucleoporin gene NUP98 o

  2022-07-27

  

  Analysis of the i-motif structures during biased unfolding of G-quadruplexes leads to the conclusion that at acidic pH the i-motif is absolutely unaffected by that process. The hydrogen bonds within the i-motif are intact (Fig. 3D) and they only fluctuate around mean values. On the other hand, the i

  2022-07-27

  

  Both anxiety-like behavior and sucrose preference/intake were reduced in GPR40/FFAR1 KO male mice, while social behavior was normal in KO mice. These findings indicate that brain GPR40/FFAR1 is involved in the modulation of anxiety- and depression-like behavior in rodents. Previous studies have demo

  We compared the mixotrophic growth of mutant DRHB1486 and the wild-type at different light intensities. The mutant grew at a similar rate as the wild-type at a low light intensity but much more slowly at a high light intensity (Fig. 3). Because the slr2094 mutant was unable to grow under photoautotr

  Introduction of a chloropyridine group onto the fluoro derivative (→) leads to a similarly potent compound that exhibits a lower /, and as was observed with (), was rapidly cleared. However, the high clearance of () did not prevent the increase in the concentrations of FAAs even as its plasma levels

  Noticeably, aminopyrimidine analogs are the most widely published H4R antagonists and it was Bayer who first disclosed two series of 2-aminopyrimidine compounds possessing significant H4R functional activity. Subsequently, further 2-aminopyrimidine H4R antagonists were published by Pfizer (ZPL-38937

  The Hippo pathway is a growth control signaling cascade that has been demonstrated to play an important role in regulating cell proliferation and differentiation [5,6]. The core signaling pathway consists of a group of kinases which negatively regulate the expression of transcriptional co-activators

  It has been reported that CD133+ glioma stem BB94 are resistant to temozolomide (TMZ) therapy [155]. Dose dependent TMZ treatment of CD133+ cells enhanced activities of the Notch and SHh pathways [156]. Moreover, 500 μmol/L TMZ induced a significant upregulation of Gli1, HES1 and HES5 transcripts.

  In order to study the role of haspin’s kinase activity in mitosis (and other cellular processes) and its potential role in cancer, we sought to identify and optimize inhibitors. Utilizing a recently developed time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) high throughput screening (H

  2022-07-26

  

  Interestingly, studies from Sahai and colleagues in cancer-associated fibroblasts have revealed that YAP is required for the acquirement of a stiff ECM in the tumor microenvironment (Calvo et al., 2013). Subsequently, this stiffening of the matrix can activate YAP, thus creating a feed-forward loop.
