  Acknowledgements Introduction Galanin shows widespread distribution in the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS) as well as in the immune, endocrine and endothelial vascular systems (Lang et al., 2007). Galanin controls diverse physiological processes such as arousal

  Since we were able to reach low micromolar to sub-micromolar potency in both compound series (6 and 7), we were also keen on assessing the preliminary ADME profile (particularly with respect to plasma and liver microsomal stability) of the most active compounds from these series. As it is evident fr

  2022-02-14

  

  Canonical and non-canonical Wnt signaling pathways play essential roles in various cellular activities, including cell fate determination, proliferation, migration and gene expression [57]. The canonical Wnt pathway (β-catenin dependent pathway), is activated by the binding of Wnt ligands, leading t

  Introduction Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a head and neck epithelial malignancy with high prevalence in southern China, southeast Asia, and northern Africa [1,2]. NPC is caused by a combination of factors: infection with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), environmental influences, and heredity [3]. A

  Recently, results obtained by our group have demonstrated that hEECs are able to secrete NPY into the extracellular medium and that this peptide can induce an increase in the [Ca]i of these cells (Jacques et al., 2003b). In light of these results and those obtained in this study, we can speculate th

  Kinases belonging to the Thousand and one (Tao) family are conserved throughout evolution. Three Tao proteins are encoded in the human genome (TAO1, TAO2, and TAO3), while D. melanogaster possesses a single ancestral Tao kinase (Tao-1). Like Hpo and GckIII, Tao kinases belong to the Sterile 20-like

  Conflict of interest Funding Introduction Heme is an essential molecule for cellular metabolism involving oxygen and electron transfer [1]. However, free heme is a potent pro-oxidant that catalyzes the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) leading to cellular damage [2]. Heme oxygenas

  Pharmacologic approaches of inhibiting GSNOR activity have reached the point of clinical development with the recent announcement of the first cystic fibrosis patients treated with the first-in-class GSNOR inhibitor, N6022 (N30 Pharmaceuticals). Clinical development is ongoing for other indications

  2022-02-12

  

  The HIV-1 genome encodes for a variety of viral proteins necessary for target cell entry and viral replication. gp120 is an HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein that mediates viral particle entry by binding to cell surface receptor CD4 and co-receptors CXCR4 and/or CCR5 depending on viral tropism. While CXCR

  Little is known about the endocrinological control of reproduction in polychaetes. In vertebrates, gonadal maturation is regulated by the hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal axis. GnRH, GTHs, and steroid hormones are involved in this axis (see Okubo and Nagahama, 2008). In two polychaete species, Perinere

  Flavonoid function Antioxidants are compounds - when present at a lower concentration compared oxidizable substrate - that delay or prevent oxidation of the substrate [14], [106]. Antioxidants act as nucleophiles to reduce an oxidative molecule to prevent its interaction with another molecule [14

  No other lacZ mutant showed a marked difference in mutation rate between fpg and fpg backgrounds (that is, rates were comparable between HS101 and CSH1191, HS102 and CSH1192, etc.). The number of reversion mutants was much higher in HS1194 than in any other fpg strain. The inclusion of the pTRC99a p

  Recognition and Repair of DNA Damage DNA is a reactive molecule that is continually challenged by both endogenous and exogenous insults 1., 2.. Cellular metabolites and their byproducts, environmental toxins, and radiation alter the chemical structure of DNA, producing a wide spectrum of DNA damage

  The glycine receptor is an ionotropic neurotransmitter receptor coupled to a chloride ion channel. Glycine receptors are typically described as inhibitory and distributed in the spinal cord and brainstem, though mRNA transcription labelling studies in rats show expression in the hippocampus, cingula

  To further investigate if GPR40 was the functional target of these phenylpropiolic Vacuolin-1 analogs, GW-1100, a selective antagonist of GPR40-mediated Ca2+ elevations in HEK293 cells with an IC50 value equal to 1 μM, was used to inhibit agonist-induced intracellular calcium flux [15].
