  Experiments conducted on the human parasite Leishmania major has shown that specific parasitic antigens are involved in steering the immune responses to “protective” as opposed to “disease” state (Reiner et al., 1993; Reiner and Locksley, 1995; and Sjölander et al., 1998) and that antigenic composit

  Introduction Human pathogenic Leishmania protozoa comprise 20 different species that are distributed throughout the world and cause the disease leishmaniasis [1]. Transmission primarily occurs through the bite of a female sand fly and clinical manifestations of the disease span from cutaneous lesio

  Previously, we have shown that ghrelin and cannabinoids stimulate hypothalamic AMPK activity (Kola et al., 2005). In contrast, both the orexigenic compounds have inhibitory effects on AMPK activity in the liver and visceral fat (Kola et al., 2005). In this study, we were able to reproduce our previo

  In the present study, we also found that specificity concerns persist for antibody-based tools, like ELISAs. Measuring the same human plasma sample with four different commercial galanin ELISA kits produced four widely different galanin concentrations. No recovery of synthetic galanin peptide added

  Acknowledgments Introduction Prenyltransferase catalyzes the head-to-tail condensation between isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP, 1) and an allylic prenyl diphosphate to produce several prenyl diphosphates, which are then converted into steroids, carotenoids, prenyl side-chains of quinones, and pre

  Although earlier studies had reported conflicting results regarding the role of Ca2+ in regulating SV endocytosis, more recent data suggest that Ca2+ influx facilitates SV endocytosis in hippocampal neurons, the calyx of Held, and in inner hair dnmt (Dittman and Ryan, 2009, Hosoi et al., 2009, Mo

  Tourette's syndrome (TS) is a neurobehavioral disorder characterized by chronic motor and vocal tics. The histaminergic system appears to be implicated in the pathophysiology of TS because H3R up-regulation has been observed in the striatum of HDC knock-out animal models (Rapanelli et al., 2017; Rap

  An important example of a frame is the lattice of open subsets of any topological space X. The correspondence is clearly functorial (by taking inverse images), and consequently one has a contravariant functor with the category of topological spaces and continuous maps as domain category. The functor

  2022-01-05

  

  Protein structures determined in high resolution by X-ray crystallography and NMR techniques provide wealth of structural information on intra-domain and inter-domain protein interactions of small sized proteins. In addition, cryo-EM often provides low resolution structures of multi-component protei

  Historically, pharmacological investigations have been carried out by first identifying a biological response to a ligand, and then subsequently using that ligand to identify the receptor(s) responsible for the response (Wilson et al., 1998). However, this approach needed revision with the discovery

  On the other hand, it is quite possible that strychnine-sensitive glycine sites are responsible for mediating the anticonvulsant effects of GlyT1 inhibitors. Strychnine, which acts as an antagonist at these sites, is a well-known as a convulsant drug, and elevation of endogenous glycine levels at th

  Transporter-based brain-targeting nano-DDS Drug delivery to the central nervous system (CNS) is still challenging due to the bloodbrain barrier (BBB)53., 54.. The BBB is a natural defense barrier protecting the ana cas from harmful substances. Since only selected, neutral, lipophilic small molec

  Introduction Glucagon is a peptide hormone that acts to increase blood glucose levels. The secretion of glucagon from the alpha Z-WEHD-FMK of the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas is increased during fasting and prevents hypoglycemia. Glucagon increases glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis and
