  The molecular mechanisms that mediate the plasticity of the NMJ are not well understood. PGC-1α is a master regulator of the NMJ gene expression program 23, 24, and thus AMPK might indirectly regulate the NMJ via its broad influence on the coactivator. Cerveró et al.[6] recently provided more direct

  LAP locations in the parasite tissues would provide clues for the potential physiological roles of it inside the parasite body. To date, tissue localization of LAPs has been carried out in many helminth parasites; however, information regarding LAPs in tapeworm is scarce. It was shown that LAPs were

  2023-01-21

  

  N-terminally extended antigenic peptide precursors that survive cytosolic degradation and enter the ER, need to be further processed by ERAP1 and/or ERAP2, in order to acquire the right length required for MHCI binding. ERAP1 (ERAAP in mouse) is an IFN-γ-inducible, metalloaminopeptidase that trims N

  Impact of global AHR deficiency on diet-induced obesity Two subsequent studies in which AHR function was affected at the whole animal level corroborated the role of AHR in dietary obesity. Xu et al. [14] showed that on a high-fat diet, both AHR-deficient Ahr−/− and hemizygous Ahr+/− mice gained s

  In addition, we performed Western-blot analysis of different areas of mouse brain with BX795 against mAck1 (Ureña et al., 2005). The data obtained showed a high rate of expression in neocortex, hippocampus, cerebellum, and brainstem (Fig. 4). More moderate levels of expression were seen in hypothal

  Several reports of single cases of MG patients treated with Rituximab have claimed a favourable response (Baek et al., 2007, Gajra et al., 2004, Hain et al., 2006, Thakre et al., 2007, Wylam et al., 2003, Zaja et al., 2000). We report our experience with Rituximab in 6 patients with severe MG, 3 pa

  The rapidity of this specific immunosuppressive therapy suggests that it inhibits or apoptoses plasma cells. Most serum autoantibodies to AChR are produced by long-lived plasma cells residing in spleen and bone marrow. These terminally differentiated cells are resistant to most non-specific immunosu

  Of the many different types of DNA lesions, DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) are amongst the most deleterious. It has been suggested that a single unrepaired DSB may be sufficient to induce cell death (Bennett et al., 1993), whereas misrepaired DSBs can result in loss of genetic information, potentia

  Introduction Initially postulated to represent the main source of ATP production in eukaryotic cells, mitochondria are recently recognized to perform manifold essential functions beyond energy production, impacting most areas of cell biology and medicine [1].

  Experimental EPR spectra of probes 1a–f were recorded on a Bruker EMX-1572 operating at X-band (9.0–9.9 GHz), at 21 ± 1 °C. The EPR parameters were the same in all experiments: microwave power, 1 mW; modulation amplitude, 5 G; time constant, 10.24 ms; and conversion time, 40.96 ms. Reduced gluta

  Interestingly, we found that co-treatment with losartan prevented the increased participation of ROS from NADPH oxidase on the contractile response to Phe observed in Hg-treated rats. Moreover, losartan also prevented the reduction in the endothelial NO modulation of this response found in treated a

  The 5′AMP-Activated Protein Kinase (AMPK) has evolved as an important cellular sensor of reduced energy status that can subsequently phosphorylate its target proteins, slowing the rates of key biosynthetic processes and promoting energy producing pathways; for these reasons AMPK has been proposed as
