  Introduction Cell surface receptors are central to the interaction of cells with their surroundings and play an important role in determining functional responses. These receptors are integral membrane proteins responsible for the binding of extracellular signaling molecules and transduction into

  Although in in vitro analyses GANT61 sensitized Daoy Hydrocortisone to RITA treatment, this was not fully reflected in the in vivo xenograft studies in nude mice, as the combinatorial treatment elicited a comparable reduction of tumor growth. However, the dual drug administration reduced within-gro

  Acknowledgements Introduction Ghrelin is a potent orexigenic hormone and growth hormone secretagogue mainly derived from the stomach [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. Other pleiotropic actions of the hormone include those that are glucoregulatory, food reward-enhancing, gastric motility-enhancing, and

  2022-03-09

  

  Though regulation of ghrelin interaction with GHSR has not been described previously, a precedent for a similar regulatory mechanism exists in the form of the interaction between Agouti-Related Protein (AgRP) and melanocortin receptor subtypes MC3R and MC4R (Ollmann, 1997). AgRP is produced by hypot

  2022-03-09

  

  Since the Gardos channel Ca2+ sensor have been shown to be constitutively bound calmodulin [16] and the PMCA is activated by association to a calcium–calmodulin complex, it seems probable that the NS309 agonist effect is caused by direct interaction with the Gardos channel, and not by an action on c

  2022-03-09

  

  How changes in APP processing by γ-secretase lead to AD is still not well understood. Deposition of amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide fragments of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) in amyloid plaques and hyperphosphorylated tau in neurofibrillary tangles are the cellular hallmarks of AD (O’Brien and Wong,

  With rare exceptions, the biological role of γ-secretase cleavage of substrates other than Notch 1 has been ignored during proof of concept preclinical repurposing studies. For example, in the GSI AD trial, many individuals noted changes in hair color, apparently due to inhibition of tyrosinase, ano

  The importance of T-currents in the control of thalamic GABA synaptic function is also demonstrated by the presence of T-channel-dependent long-term synaptic plasticity, either potentiation (LTP) or depression (LTD). Indeed, in the associative posterior thalamic medial nucleus, an LTP of the GABAerg

  A relatively independent review of the history of the discovery of GABA (and L-glutamate) as neurotransmitters in the CNS can be found in ‘When and why amino acids?’ in the in 2010 by Kresimir Krnjevic , who spent a post-doc in Canberra in 1956–1958. Introduction The insect RDL GABA receptor is

  2022-03-09

  

  Despite their undisputed importance, however, FPR receptors are not in the limelight of GPCR-related research (for review [12] and references therein). We, therefore, draw attention to this GPCR receptor family, in order to re-initiate FPR-related research, particularly in the light of biased agonis

  FGF signals can be transduced to the signaling cascades of RAS-MAPK or PI3K-AKT through FRS2 and GRB2, to the pathways of PKC or PKD via PLCγ and DAG, and to Ca2+-releasing cascade via PLCγ and IP3, finally affecting cellular proliferation, cellular survival, and angiogenesis [48]. By increasing syn

  Acknowledgements Introduction Muscle FBPase is very sensitive to AMP inhibition and in the presence of physiological concentrations of this effector in muscle fibres FBPase should be almost completely inactive [1], [2]. Recently, we have presented evidence that, in vitro, muscle aldolase binds

  Recently, the classical view of the compartmentalization of the plant isoprenoid metabolism has been re-evaluated, following the demonstration of the partial peroxisomal localization of the mevalonic Cy5.5 NHS ester (MVA) pathway, generally regarded as cytosolic. Using GFP-tagging approaches, the la

  Patients with SCI often develop chronic neuropathic pain, which further deteriorates their quality of life [5]. This condition results from functional and structural plastic changes that occur centrally following injury to spinal cord neurons and glia, and include changes in receptor function and si
