  Introduction Epilepsy is characterized by spontaneous recurrent seizures and represents one of the most frequent neurological diseases affecting about 60 million people worldwide (McNamara, 1999). It is estimated that up to 50% of all cases are triggered by “initial precipitating injuries”, such

  2024-11-13

  

  Small RhoGTPases are single-domain nucleotide-dependent binary switches that act as highly-tuned regulators in signal transduction [1]. The cycling between active GTP-bound and inactive GDP-bound forms allows RhoGTPases to bind to or to dissociate from downstream effectors, respectively [2]. Guanine

  2024-11-13

  

  Our current knowledge on autophagy broadly differentiates it into three types: macroautophagy, microautophagy, and chaperone-mediated autophagy. Macroautophagy mainly involves the sequestration of cytoplasmic contents in a double-walled membrane followed by the fusion with the lysosomes. The lysosom

  These anatomical studies were followed by the first functional MRI studies of auditory processing in songbirds that were performed in starlings (Van Meir et al., 2005; De Groof et al., 2017; De Groof et al., 2013b) and in zebra finches (Boumans et al., 2008a; Boumans et al., 2007; Boumans et al., 20

  Arginases from several species and tissues have been found to be inhibited by amino acids [51]. In the present study, monocarboxyilic amino acids with five or more carbon atoms such as ornithine, lysine, valine, leucine and isoleucine inhibited CL-ARG. The results revealed that as the amino Vincrist

  2024-11-12

  

  Mitochondrial dysfunction resulting from mtDNA abnormalities may trigger retrograde signaling pathways from the mitochondrion to the nucleus, which regulate the expression of genes involved in diverse cellular processes, including metabolism, stress responses, tumor progression, nutrient sensing, li

  2024-11-12

  

  Similar to other MADS box proteins, MEF2 factors associate with a variety of transcriptional cofactors to control specific sets of downstream target genes. Some of the cofactors such as MyoD, GATA4, NFAT, TH receptor, p300, 14.3.3 and ERK5 stimulate MEF2 activity, whereas others, such as HDACs4-5-7-

  2024-11-12

  

  Introduction Sustained over-activation of neurohormonal systems is a hallmark in the pathophysiology of cardiac dysfunction following myocardial infarction (MI) and heart failure (HF). Inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin BGP-15 system (RAAS) constitute cornerstones of pharmacotherapy for HF with

  Imatinib was first approved for the treatment of Philadelphia chromosome positive chronic myelogenous leukemia in 2001 [25]. This first approved small molecule antagonist is quite unusual in that it provides a durable response that lasts for more than a decade in the majority of patients. Imatinib h

  Current therapies for metabolic diseases Inborn errors of metabolism caused by deficiency of particular enzymes due to loss of function mutations or deletions have been treated by decreasing the intake of the enzymatic substrate, supplementation with an essential cofactor or vitamin, increasing m

  A previous study reported that the serotonergic mechanism was involved in the psychological stress-induced alteration in synaptic plasticity in the rat hippocampal CA1 field (Matsumoto et al., 2004). Sumitaka Inoue et al. (Inoue et al., 2014) reported that pretreatment with a 5-HT1A receptor partial

  Functional consequences of ADK regulation on neuronal excitability Adenosine modulates neuronal excitability via activation of the high affinity A1 or A2A, low-affinity A2B, or low abundance A3 adenosine receptors that feed into a multitude of different neuronal and astrocytic pathways (Blum et a

  The purpose of the present study is (1) to characterize AChE from the monogonont B. koreanus and to analyze the modulation of the AChE activity and its transcription level after exposure to six pharmaceuticals, (2) to evaluate the usefulness of AChE as a molecular biomarker upon pharmaceutical expos

  The mechanism by which Gas6 prevents inflammation has been reported to be via inhibition of Toll-Like receptors (TLRs) signaling (Cui et al., 2016). After injury, TLRs become stimulated, leading to downstream activation of TRAF3 and TRAF6 and translocation of several transcription factors, such as I
