  2019-11-18

  

  Among the high value compounds derived from agricultural residues there are enzymes with industrial application. The extraction processes have been focused on the development of new strategies that guarantee high recovery rates with maximum activity (Nadar et al., 2017). The residues of these two fr

  2019-11-18

  

  A factor that complicates the use of human liver HBC is one of variability, which arises in part because many of the human liver samples available for research show various stages of a variety of disease states (steatosis (fatty liver), cirrhosis, carcinogenesis in adjacent tissue), although care i

  Even though Et743 modification of DNA delayed the progress of the translocating enzyme significantly, it did not trap RecBCD on DNA, nor did it alter the activity of the enzyme significantly. Under catalytic conditions, no loss of enzyme activity was observed (Table 2), nor were stable unwinding int

  What does this mean for cancer therapy? We found that components of the de novo pyrimidine synthesis pathway rarely mutate in cancer, clearly showing its importance. In our experimental models, the pathway, including DHODH itself, was primed to respond when the block in CoQ redox-cycling was removed

  The physiological role of the UCNs in the regulation of the HPA axis is still under debate (Fekete and Zorrilla, 2007, Suda et al., 2004). UCN 1 was proved to increase the plasma ACTH and corticosterone levels in rats (Bagosi et al., 2014, Vaughan et al., 1995), whereas UCN 2 and UCN 3 were shown to

  Henderson et al. [20] reported that allergen-induced airway remodeling was blocked by the CysLT1 receptor antagonist montelukast. The development of epithelial thickening and mucus accumulation at relatively small monooxygenase was also suppressed by montelukast. The CysLT2 receptor antagonist BayC

  Apart from neutrophil-mediated inflammation, the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines from PGD2/CRTH2 activated macrophages could further aggravate LPS-induced lung injury (Eguchi et al., 2011; Jandl et al., 2016). Interestingly, genetic ablation of CRTH2 diminishes the TNF-α prod

  Conclusion Introduction Interleukin (IL)-18 [1] is a member of the IL-1 cytokine family activating corner stones of inflammatory signaling, among others nuclear factor (NF)-κB and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase. Striking similarities exist between IL-1β and IL-18 including processing by

  Potential break-through technology poised to overcome these above-mentioned limitations is that of the “substrate mediated enzyme prodrug therapy”, SMEPT (Fig. 1). Learning from the previously established enzyme prodrug therapies (EPT) and specifically the antibody-directed EPT (ADEPT) [12], develop

  2019-11-15

  

  Elastase belongs to chymotrypsin family of proteases and it is responsible for the breakdown of elastin and other proteins, such as collagen and fibronectin, which are fundamental for the ECM elastic properties (Imokawa and Ishida, 2015). Misregulations of this enzyme are involved in skin ageing pro

  Today, many strategies have been developed to enhance CXCR-4 receptor 15 on the cell surface, either by modifying the cell culture medium or by modifying the CXCR-4 gene in BMSCs to stimulate stem cell recruitment (Jiang et al., 2012, Liu et al., 2014b). For instance, the pre-conditioning of sub-cu

  Acknowledgments Prostaglandin D (PGD) plays a key role in mediating allergic reactions such as those seen in asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis and allergic conjunctivitis. PGD is the major cyclooxygenase product formed and secreted by activated mast cells and its levels in bronchoalveo

  2019-11-15

  

  [125I] α-bungarotoxin competes with ACh, an endogenous activator of α7-nACh receptors by binding to the ACh binding site on the receptor (Albuquerque et al., 2009). For this reason, the effect of curcumin was investigated on the specific binding of [125I] α-bungarotoxin. Saturation curves for the bi

  Introduction Protein modification by ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like proteins is one of the most common and important regulatory mechanisms in biology (Finley et al., 2004, Pickart, 2004). Ubiquitination is carried out by an enzymatic cascade consisting of three steps. In the first step, ubiquitin i
