  The activation of P1Rs modulates the activity of many ion channels and receptors (Sebastião and Ribeiro, 2009) and the recent detection of P1Rs at the postsynaptic level of the adult NMJ (Garcia et al., 2014) makes potentially possible an adenosine-mediated modulation of the nicotinic GLPG0634 recep

  2024-05-14

  

  Introduction The cytoskeleton allows cells to establish, maintain and transform their shape. In neurons, these include cell differentiation, migration, polarization and development of their unique arborization. Axons are very thin (~1 μm), long (up to 1m) and highly branched (>95% of the plasma mem

  2024-05-14

  

  ACE inhibition is often thought to play a central role in the mechanisms of blood pressure reduction in vivo, and most ACE inhibitory (ACEi) peptides were characterized based on in vitro ACE inhibition. A relationship between in vitro ACE inhibition and antihypertensive activity, however, is not app

  rs523349 G allele was previously associated with a decrease in the conversion rate of testosterone to DHT (Beesley et al., 2007). This SRDA52 variant may have a trend towards higher testosterone availability, which according to the US Food and Drug Administration is described as a teratogen of categ

  COX and 5-LOX in post-mortem AD brain Minghetti (2004) reviewed the findings on COX-2 mRNA levels in AD brains, pointing out that the available evidence demonstrated either decreased or increased levels, possibly because of the short half-life of COX-2 transcripts or individual variability. Histo

  It is already established in the literature that products synthesized by 5-LO, such as lipoxin A4, can activate PPARγ in a setting of experimental stroke [43]. Interestingly, experiments using 5-LO knockout mice in an endotoxemia model to mimic septic conditions, demonstrated reduced multiple organ

  Introduction Nausea and vomiting are among the most distressing side effects associated with chemotherapy in cancer patients (Billio et al., 2010). Severe emesis can negatively affect a patient's nutritional state, ability to work and motivation, which can, in turn, interfere with the clinical co

  Using our infection assays, we also explored whether low-pH compartments were required for the entry of ZIKVs in mammalian cells. Lysosomotropic agents such as ammonium chloride, chloroquine and Bafilomycin A1, strongly inhibited the ability of ZIKVs to enter mammalian cells. Our results are in agre

  Although plant Aurora kinases can be clearly grouped into functional clades, the roles of the respective clades does not seem to be evolutionarily conserved. AtAurora 1 labels kinetochore microtubules [19], similarly to mammalian Aurora A, while its targeting to the cell plate resembles features of

  After infection with Salmonella those bacteria that are not targeted by autophagy of the complete Salmonella-containing phagosome (see above) but are living freely in the cytosol can be eliminated by xenophagy, that is direct targeting of the ‘naked’ bacteria to the autophagic pathway. The type III

  Receptors containing an αx/γy subunit interface, where x=1, 2, 3, 5 and y=1–3, form a high-affinity binding site for benzodiazepines (Figure 1A), for the later developed Z-drugs of different chemotypes, and for a large number of chemically distinct research compounds 17, 18 (Box 1 for examples).

  Several alterations have been or can be associated to the decreased tolerance of steatotic liver to I/R injury. Previous studies demonstrated that upregulation of the mitochondrial uncoupling protein-2 (UP2) is strictly related to the increase of I/R injury in steatotic liver [4]. UPR induction is c

  Discussion Arginase 1 and Arginase 2 are homologous enzymes that consume l-arginine to produce l-ornithine and urea [14], [15]. These enzymes compete with NO synthases for the same substrate [14], [15], [30], and therefore may reduce NO production [21], [24], [30]. The colocalization of arginase
