  Experiments conducted on the human parasite Leishmania major has shown that specific parasitic antigens are involved in steering the immune responses to “protective” as opposed to “disease” state (Reiner et al., 1993; Reiner and Locksley, 1995; and Sjölander et al., 1998) and that antigenic composit

  2022-03-16

  

  To date, glycine receptors have been found in five distinct transmembrane protein subunits (one β subunit and four α subunit (α1–α4)), combining to form two different types of functional receptors [4], [14], either α homomeric, the immature extrasynaptic glycine receptor subtype, or αβ heteromeric,

  Brief overview of the glutamate system and rationale for targeting the glycine site of NMDARs In the central nervous system (CNS), glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter and works in concert with gamma-aminobutyric gstp1-1 (GABA), the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter. Together, GAB

  2022-03-16

  

  Hippo signaling is an emerging tumor suppressor pathway that plays key roles in normal physiology and tumorigenesis through the regulation of cellular proliferation and survival [4]. In humans, YAP is over-expressed as a result of genomic amplification of the 11q22 locus in a wide spectrum of human

  2022-03-16

  

  Recent studies revealed that synthetic oligomeric Aβ1-42 decreased GLT-1 expression and promoted mislocalization of GLT-1 from the cell surface of primary astrocytes, leading to glutamate dyshomeostasis in synapses (Abdul et al., 2009, Scimemi et al., 2013). To address the cause for reduction of ast

  2022-03-16

  

  In prostate cancer (PCa), glucose metabolism plays a major role in progression [14]. Androgens can activate the metabolic regulator AMP-activated kinase (AMPK), promoting oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) [15]. Besides, androgens increase GLUT1 [16], which overproduction has been described in the m

  2022-03-16

  

  Introduction Glucose homeostasis is primarily regulated by the hormones insulin and glucagon, secreted from the pancreatic islets of Langerhans. Although insulin produced by β Metaphit is the blood glucose-lowering hormone, glucagon secreted from α cells acts as the major counter-regulatory horm

  Cx45 has been shown to be serine phosphorylated by CaMKII, CK1, PKA, and MAPK in HeLa BIX 02189 receptor [77], [78]. Phosphorylation by PKA and MAPK were associated with decreased junctional conductance [78], suggesting that phosphorylation of Cx45 may influence conduction properties. Overall, the

  2022-03-16

  

  To date, 14 types of glucose transport protein have been discovered, each having its own specific functions with different distributions [33]. Among these, GLUT4 is particularly important for maintaining glucose metabolism homeostasis and insulin sensitivity, since it is involved in glucose transpor

  In Apicomplexan parasites such as Toxoplasma gondii isoprenoids are biosynthesized through the DOXP/MEP pathway as illustrated in Scheme 2. In addition, T. gondii possesses a bifunctional FPPS/GGPPS (TgFPPS) that is able to catalyze the formation of both FPP and GGPP.5, 6 The FPPS gene appears to be

  There has been conflicting evidence on the possible receptor mechanisms that mediate the neuro-immuno-modulatory effects of FAAH substrates. Evidence from in vitro studies indicates that AEA-mediated modulation of TLR4-induced neuroinflammation may be mediated by CB1/CB2 receptor dependent (Correa e

  The hedgehog signalling pathway The canonical Hh pathway is a conserved, highly complex signalling cascade, with many players and intricate regulation. However, it can be simplified into four fundamental components: i) the ligand Hh, ii) the receptor Patched (Patch [PTCH1]), iii) the signal trans

  Hypoxia has been shown to affect miR-155 expression that can induce autophagy in nasopharyngeal and cervical carcinoma cells [334]. Suppression of miR-155 inhibited hypoxia-induced autophagy. miR-155 targeted mRNAs involved in the PI3K/PTEN/Akt/mTORC1 pathway including: Ras homolog enriched in Octre

  Introduction Few decades after of HIV/AIDS diagnosis, it has been still a health problem and impact will continue in the next decades. In 2015, HIV/AIDS was the 12th cause of death in the world and it's estimated that 1.2 million people was died of HIV/AIDS this year. In the global epidemiologica
