Recently, roflumilast has been approved as the first selective PDE4 inhibitor for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) [2]. Roflumilast has been suggested to target several different pathogenetic mechanisms, including inflammation, fibrotic, emphysematous and vascular remode

Although the reasons why viral RNA does not bind to and activate PKR in WNV-infected cells are not known, some of the known characteristics of flavivirus infections provide possible clues. The viral INCB-024360 synthesis protein forms dimers that associate with ER membranes and viral RNA (Lindenbac

Methods To study electrostatic substrate channeling, we employed two methodologies, Brownian dynamics and a continuum model based on the Smoluchowski theory. Whereas Brownian dynamics simulations are useful for tracking the motion of individual particles, the continuum model is convenient for cal

DAPK is a 160-kD Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM)-regulated Ser/Thr kinase that mediates cell death. The activated forms of DAPK and DRP-1 are capable of inducing two distinct cytoplasmic events characteristic of programmed cell death, including membrane blebbing and the formation of autophagic vesicles (Inbal

Although the findings detailed above provide ample evidence that the activity of the CRF1 receptor in the amygdala plays a role in the acute and chronic effects of alcohol exposure, several important areas of investigation remain understudied. The majority of the work on CRF1-alcohol interactions ha

Recently, we have observed that pharmacological PPARα and PPARβ/δ activation regulates the expression of genes involved in FA metabolism such as FAT/CD36, CPT1, LCAD and MCAD in Sertoli cells. We have also observed that PPARβ/δ activation can simultaneously regulate the expression of the above-menti

Nowadays it is possible to detect the AChE inhibitors by several methods such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry [11], ion mobility spectrometry [12] and lab-on-chip devices [13,14]. However, almost all instrumental detection techniques that are able to conclusively determine the presence of th

Water, inorganic salts, sugars, lipids, nucleic acids and proteins are the main basic materials forming the organism. Life activities can be controlled or regulated by a series of complicated and chain-reactive protein–protein interactions. Protein–protein interaction is considered as the bases and

Our recent QTL mapping study revealed that the adaptor genes, including the NCK genes and the ABI genes, are located within the genomic regions harboring the most significant QTL (Zhou et al., 2017), suggesting that these genes could be involved in the determination of resistance, and possibly throu

UVRAG is a mammalian ortholog of yeast Vps38 and a promoter of autophagy [51,60,61]. It forms distinct complexes with BECN1 (mammalian ortholog of yeast Vps30/Atg6) and the class III phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (whose catalytic subunit [PIK3C3] is the mammalian ortholog of yeast Vps34) and contrib
