Cadherin and Wnt signaling pathways as key regulators in diabetic nephropathy
(2021)Aim A recent meta-analysis of genome-wide linkage studies (GWLS) has identified multiple genetic regions suggestive of linkage with DN harboring hundreds of genes. Moving this number of genetic loci forward into biological ... -
Can bioelectrical impedance analysis and BMI be a prognostic tool in head and neck cancer patients? A review of the evidence
(2020)Background: Malnutrition can significantly affect disease progression and patient survival. The efficiency of weight loss and bioimpedance analysis (BIA)-derived measures in the evaluation of malnutrition, and disease ... -
CB1R-dependent activation of Fyn tyrosine kinase and protein kinase C Delta, PKCδ, in lipid rafts
(2008)Cannabinoid 1 receptors (CB1Rs) are heptahelical transmembrane receptors which may exert their effects through the activation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs). We have previously shown that stably ... -
Demonstration of the human ocular surface glycocalyx by transmission electron microscopy
(2006)The aim of this work was to demonstrate the ultrastructural appearance of the human ocular surface glycocalyx in normal subjects. Conjunctival tissue specimens from 7 normal subjects were obtained by bulbar conjunctival ... -
The effect of strain hardening on the dynamic response of human artery segments
(2017)Background: When subjected to time-dependent blood pressure, human arteries undergo large deformations, exhibiting mainly nonlinear hyperelastic type of response. The mechanical response of arteries depends on the health ... -
Foodborne botulism: A brief review of cases transmitted by cheese products (Review)
(2022)Food safety constitutes a basic priority for public health. Foodborne botulism occurs worldwide; it is an acute paralytic disease caused by the consumption of food containing the botulinum toxin. Growing consumer demand ... -
Functional Requirements for DjlA- and RraA-Mediated Enhancement of Recombinant Membrane Protein Production in the Engineered Escherichia coli Strains SuptoxD and SuptoxR
(2017)In previous work, we have generated the engineered Escherichia coli strains SuptoxD and SuptoxR, which upon co-expression of the effector genes djlA or rraA, respectively, are capable of suppressing the cytotoxicity caused ... -
Mechanisms involved in the induced differentiation of leukemia cells
(2003)Despite the remarkable progress achieved in the treatment of leukemias over the last several years, many problems (multidrug resistance [MDR], cellular heterogeneity, heterogeneous molecular abnormalities, karyotypic ... -
Methods to measure water permeability
(2017)Water permeability is a key feature of the cell plasma membranes and it has seminal importance for a number of cell functions such as cell volume regulation, cell proliferation, cell migration, and angiogenesis to name a ... -
Plant terpenoid metabolism co-opts a component of the cell wall biosynthesis machinery
(2020)Glycosylation is one of the most prevalent molecular modifications in nature. Single or multiple sugars can decorate a wide range of acceptors from proteins to lipids, cell wall glycans and small molecules, dramatically ... -
Proteomics Evaluation of Semen of Clinically Healthy Beagle-Breed Dogs
(2022)The objectives of the present work were to evaluate the semen of dogs by means of proteomics methods and to compare with proteomics results of the blood of the animals, in order to increase available knowledge on the topic ... -
Role of immunohistochemistry for hepatitis D and hepatitis B virus in hepatitis delta
(2014)Background & Aims: Immunohistochemical assessment of liver tissue in chronic delta hepatitis (CDH) is underinvestigated. Aim of the study was (i) to assess variables associated with hepatitis D antigen (HDAg), hepatitis B ... -
Sad3 and Sad4 are required for saponin biosynthesis and root development in oat
(2008)Avenacins are antimicrobial triterpene glycosides that are produced by oat (Avena) roots. These compounds confer broad-spectrum resistance to soil pathogens. Avenacin A-1, the major avenacin produced by oats, is strongly ... -
Somatostatin receptor profile in pituitary thyrotroph adenomas
(2020)Objectives: Thyrotroph adenomas are the most infrequent adenohypophysial tumors. Somatostatin (SST) inhibits hormone secretion and suppresses cell proliferation. SST receptors (sstr) belong to a family of 5 types of G-coupled ... -
Transactivation of epidermal growth factor receptor EGFR by CB1 cannabinoid receptor agonists
(2007)Cannabinoids have long been used as therapeutic agents. The recent identification of the endogenous cannabinoid system in the brain, namely the abundance of the CB1 receptor (CB1R) in the CNS and the discovery of the ... -
Urate crystals directly activate the T-cell receptor complex and induce T-cell proliferation
(2017)Uric acid is a known danger associated molecular pattern molecule able to induce inflammation following internalization of its crystals by cells of the innate immune system. By activating antigen-presenting cells, urate ...
