  2022-01-11

  

  Medulloblastoma predominantly occurs in infants and children, and is the most-common type of paediatric malignant GSK2656157 tumour, accounting for about 20% of all childhood brain tumors [63]. According to cancer genomics, medulloblastoma consists of at least 4 distinct subgroups: Hh driven, Wnt dr

• Ghrelin is a brain gut peptide hormone

  2022-01-11

  

  Ghrelin is a brain-gut peptide hormone secreted from the stomach to stimulate food intake by acting on its receptor, growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR). GHSR is expressed throughout the brain and in NPY/AgRP neurons in the ARC (Cowley et al., 2003, Willesen et al., 1999). Ghrelin-expressing

  2022-01-11

  

  The C-terminal regions in both FGF19 and FGF21 define their KLB interaction [15], [16], [23], [25]. However, less than 40% identity in comparative alignment of C-terminal sequences for these two proteins (Table 1) suggests that their interaction with KLB may require higher-order association with oth

  2022-01-11

  

  Mammals and birds are sensitive either to hypo or hyper glycemia. In contrary some frogs when freezing/thawing experience very high glycemia (Storey and Storey, 1986). Nevertheless when the effect of temperature on Fru-2,6P2 concentration was investigated, the constant glucose level in frogs kept at

  2022-01-11

  

  Long-term effects of prolonged darkness on specific physiological activities were also monitored at different leaf positions. Basically, stomatal conductance and CO2 assimilation were different at various leaf stages and were decreased or inhibited significantly within 24 h in all leaf positions upo

  2022-01-11

  

  Under increased drug pressure, more protease variants with more than one substitution will likely become clinically relevant. The accumulation of additional substitutions can allow RAS variants to emerge that alone are not viable, but in combination can rescue the viral fitness. We previously demons

• HBV is an enveloped double stranded DNA

  2022-01-11

  

  HBV is an enveloped, double-stranded DNA virus, which is transcripted into four major transcripts [6]. Among them, the 3.5 kb pregenomic RNA (pgRNA) directs the translation of HBV polymerase, core protein and acts as template for reverse transcription. So viral transcription is a key step of virus l

  2022-01-11

  

  In conclusion, these data in combination with previously described reports of GC-B being inactivated by dephosphorylation in response to other signaling molecules, strongly suggests that distinct hormonal systems inactivate GC-B by a general dephosphorylation mechanism. Identification of the modifie

  2022-01-11

  

  The observed glucose intolerance and elevated fasting blood glucose in this study is in consonance with earlier study (Ferris and Kahn, 2012). These have been the common features of GC exposure and are not unexpected. Previous researches that reported IR during GC exposure have shown controversy con

  2022-01-11

  

  Action of GPR55 in metabolically active tissues In addition to being highly expressed by discrete brain regions, as described in Section 2, GPR55 is also expressed in a wide range of peripheral tissues, including spleen, adrenals and bone (Sawzdargo et al., 1999, Ryberg et al., 2007, Whyte et al.

  2022-01-11

  

  It was noted elsewhere that several of the variants (i.e., Indel19 and SNP63) that make up the risk haplotypes had unusually large differences in allele frequencies between Africans and non-Africans, as compared with a set of likely neutral loci (Fullerton et al. 2002). This finding was interpreted

  2022-01-11

  

  With an ever-increasing incidence rate of type 2 diabetes and obesity, it is imperative to develop new therapeutic regimes that may provide a benefit both in terms of efficacy and tolerability. The existing portfolio of drugs for the treatment of metabolic disorders, primarily type 2 diabetes and o

  2022-01-10

  

  Gap junction channels exhibit different types of gating properties. One alternative mechanism that should be mentioned is loop gating in which the extracellular loop of connexin assumes a configuration to form a narrow pathway for closure of unopposed hemichannels [53] and docked junction channels [

  2022-01-10

  

  Experiments show that CSD propagation can be slowed or interrupted by pre-existing lesions or areas of high astrocytic density (Chen et al., 2006), and reduced expression of astrocytic gap junctions significantly increases the size of ischemic infarcts (Nakase et al., 2003). By decreasing the gap ju

  2022-01-10

  

  SCPNs and CPNs exhibit similar strength of electrical coupling (Maruoka et al., 2017) and had similar membrane properties (Experimental Procedures), and showed no significant difference in amplification and synchronization (Figs. 2E and 3C). However, a subset of CPNs exhibit very strong electrical c
