  2022-02-17

  

  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

  2022-02-17

  

  Some previous findings indicate that GALP has an influence on AVP and OT secretion from the posterior pituitary gland. Cunningham et al. (2004) noted that the expression of GALP mRNA was increased in the neurohypophysis of lactating rats compared to non-lactating rats, whereas GALP mRNA expression i

  Introduction The mammalian skin forms the largest organ of the body and includes a network of cutaneous nerves, cells of the immune system, and mediators of the neuro-endocrine axis (Theoharides et al., 2016). Analogous to the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, neuropeptides and their receptors

  In this review we will highlight how the functional impact of GABA receptors activation in thalamic neurons far exceeds the traditional “shunting” effect and shapes the whole thalamic network excitability. We will show how GABA released during either tonic or burst firing of GABAergic thalamic neuro

  Neuropathic pain (NP) is a chronic pain caused by lesion or disease affecting any part of the nervous system leading to clinical conditions ranging from painful neuropathy to poststroke central pain. Anticonvulsant drugs, Gabapentin and Pregabalin, acting on αδ subunit-containing voltage-dependent c

  Taking all these results into account, we propose a model for the evolution of HIV DNA forms in blood during the natural history of HIV infection (Fig. 4a). During PHI, the labile linear and episomal HIV DNA forms are particularly abundant and mostly constitute evidence of active replication in rece

  2022-02-16

  

  When studying the potential of HATi for the treatment of inflammatory lung diseases, investigating lung tissue specific effects may be particularly relevant since local administration of small molecule inhibitors in lung tissue is possible and is already applied for inhaled glucocorticoids in the tr

  2022-02-16

  

  The transcription factor Nrf2 is a master regulator of cytoprotective responses to endogenous and exogenous stresses caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and electrophiles [6]. Nrf2 promoter polymorphisms are significantly associated with the development of gastric mucosal inflammation, either in

  2022-02-16

  

  Amelogenesis is a complicated process, as described above, and for the last several decades, various animal and human studies have used molecular genetics to identify a number of signaling molecules and gene networks that act at specific stages of the ameloblast life cycle and regulate its patternin

  Human GPR55 (hGPR55) was originally isolated in 1999 as an orphan GPCR with high levels of expression in human striatum (Sawzdargo et al., 1999) (Genbank accession # NM_005683.3). hGPR55 was mapped to human chromosome 2q37, and in the human CNS it is predominantly localized to the caudate, putamen,

  Surrogate ligands for GPR35 Although identification of endogenously produced chemicals with agonist action at GPR35 is of considerable importance, the ligands described above are far from ideal to probe the roles of GPR35. Surrogate ligands are therefore required. Until recently, the key GPR35 ag

  Our supF forward mutation assay revealed, for the first time, that 5OHU predominantly induced the C→T mutation in human cells. The mechanism underlying the induction of the C→T mutation in human cells by 5OHU remains unclear, however, the finding that 5OHU predominantly induced the C→T mutation was

  Structural analysis of the MD-open state unveils that the transmembrane domain features a symmetric organization of the pore-lining helices M2 similar to the semi-open structure but with a local asymmetry at the constriction point, which is critical for chloride permeation. The atomistic simulations

  2022-02-15

  

  During pain signal transmission, glutamate is released into the synaptic cleft, which, in turn, causes activation of N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors and hence neurotransmission across the synapse occurs. The synaptic concentration and resultant activity of glutamate are controlled by excitator

  2022-02-15

  

  The molecular identity of RA’s target during LTP induction was determined by pharmacological testing. The inhibitory effects of CNQX and niflumic acid on LTP induction remained even in the presence of RA, indicating RA did not affect either the AMPA receptor nor chloride channel (Fig. 2B and D) [26]
