  2021-02-16

  

  Functionally, all members of the IL-12 family have been annotated along major inflammatory signaling axes but their roles have often weighed on opposing sides of the immunological balance. For instance, IL-12 and IL-23 are classified as pro-inflammatory cytokines [10] as opposed to the rather protec

  The annotation is arguably the most important part of analysis, as it enables one to evaluate and interpret the content of the transcriptome assembly. In this context, the non-redundant contigs were initially run in BLAST against the Nr database showing that 55% of them displayed high similarity to

  2021-02-16

  

  Our results implicate a critical role for CXCR-1 in promoting the migration of colonic tumor cells. Expression of this receptor, but not CXCR-2, increased significantly because of the EMT (Fig. 3). Moreover, although Clone A PSI-7977 express comparable levels of both IL-8 receptors, only CXCR-1 inh

  Under optimized assay conditions, very low concentrations (20pM) of [125I]YP20 bound to hCRF1-CHO Captopril membranes with high specificity (>95% inhibited by 1μM astressin) and in a membrane protein-dependent manner. Specific binding was selective vs. the hCRF2α subtype because little specific bind

  Nitrid oxide (NO) and its potential endogenous production as an endothelium-derived factor was the first gaseous molecule accepted to be a signaling mediator in the organism [4,5]. NO plays a key role in physiological regulation of the alizarin and exerts physiological functions in the nervous and

  Our results showed that in elastase-induced AAA, TGF-β neutralization finely tunes macrophage phenotype. Note that several studies have already addressed the role of M1 markers, such as IL-6 and IL-1β, or M2 markers, including IL-10 and TGF-β.4, 9, 10, 11 The expression and the role of ARG1 in AAA h

  The Wnt signaling pathway has been demonstrated to be responsible for a variety of biological processes. The three best-characterized Wnt signaling pathways are the canonical Wnt pathway, the noncanonical planar cell polarity pathway, and the noncanonical Wnt/calcium pathway. The canonical Wnt/β-cat

  User knowledge representation Various representation approaches of user interests and preferences are proposed. In this work, we advocate a multidimensional semantic approach based on Bouzghoub et al. meta-model (Bouzeghoub and Kostadinov, 2005), depicted in Fig. 6, to model the user profile. The

  Results Discussion Here we establish a key kinase cascade that acts at PCs to promote homolog pairing and synapsis. CHK-2 phosphorylates the zinc finger proteins that specify PCs, which, in turn, primes their recruitment of PLK-2 (Figure 7D). By recruiting these two kinases, PCs serve as signa

  CYP3A4/5 and CYP2D6 are among the main drug-metabolizing enzymes in humans that are responsible for the metabolism of more than 50% of marketed drugs [19], [21]. Drugs metabolized by CYPs are prone to drug–drug interactions, thereby modifying their response [18], [32]. Metabolic inhibition is also i

  Recently, naphthoquinone derivatives have shown promising results as antiparasitic lead compounds [28]. Conjugated hybrid compounds could be an effective path to discovery of new drugs by associating two different pharmacophore groups with different mechanisms of action in a single molecule [29,30],

  p27Kip1 is a critical component of the cell cycle machinery [15]. As an inhibitor of cyclin E-Cdk2, p27Kip1 plays a pivotal role in controlling cell proliferation, S-phase entry, and G1-phase exit during development and tumorigenesis [16]. p27Kip1 is predominantly regulated via posttranslational mod
