  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

  Introduction Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, accounting for more than 1.5 million deaths in 2012. Non–small-cell lung cancers represent approximately 85% of lung neoplasms; among these, squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) account for approximately 30% of cases. The

  2020-02-03

  

  Proteases, as multifunctional enzymes, play key roles in controlling a wide variety of cellular and extracellular processes in plants and animals, including protein degradation and processing, germination, complement activation, inflammation, responses to environmental stimuli, senescence and so on.

  For human health risk assessment of chemicals, a default uncertainty factor (UF) of 3.16 is used to capture inter individual variation in toxicokinetics (Dorne and Renwick, 2005). However, the scientific background for this default UF remains unsatisfactory., Several studies have reported that a fac

  Acknowledgments Introduction Cell cycle arrest or delay may occur at 3 major checkpoints, i.e. G1/S, intra-S and G2/M. p53 has a central role in controlling the G1/S checkpoint, and its loss or deactivation, occurring in the majority of cancers, forces cancer cells to rely on the S and G2/M ch

  Concluding remarks Some of the clinical trials of putative neutral competitive ERAs have been less successful than anticipated 6, 8, 11. This might be because of underestimation of the complexity of the molecular pharmacology of ETA. To resolve this, it will be necessary to define the signaling m

  Molecular imaging that provides a non-invasive means to visualize and measure a biological process of interest at the molecular and cellular level in living subjects has emerged as a promising approach for in vivo detection of enzyme activity in recent decades [6].

  EBI2 and its ligand(s) EBI2 was found in a screen of upregulated genes in human B cells upon infection with EBV [1]. EBI2 is a G-protein (Gαi type) coupled receptor [2] but as long as 18 years after its discovery the nature of its ligand remained undisclosed. With the help of transfected cell lines

  Valproic KY 02111 receptor (VPA) is a first-line treatment for epilepsy and bipolar disorder, although its therapeutic mechanism of action is not fully understood. Considerable evidence suggests that VPA can act through the GABAergic system, NMDA receptors, and/or sodium channels (for review, see L

  The most important finding in the present study is that the EKR1/2-Egr-1 signaling pathway might be involve in the mechanisms underlying CysLT2 receptor-mediated IL-8 production. The signaling profile can be described by the following sequential processes: the agonists (LTC4 and LTD4) activates CysL

  Discussion The use of carp primary cell cultures proved to be a valuable approach to evaluate the piscine immune response. A. hydrophila was a more potent stimulator of NO formation by carp leukocytes compared to commercial LPS often used for leukocyte stimulation (Mustafa and Olson, 1998, Chao e

  At one time, the biological effects of cAMP were thought to be mediated exclusively by Protein Kinase A (PKA). Consistent with this, PKA inhibitors have been shown to reverse the effects of cAMP-elevating agents on VSMC proliferation [5]. However, we recently reported that cAMP-mediated inhibition o
