  Rice approximately covers 1% of land area of the earth and it is one of the main sources of food for billions of people [4]. One of the main agriculture industry residues is rice husk, which contains high amount of amorphous silica up to 85–95%. Rice husk ash (RHA) is a solid residue of rice husk co

  During the past few years, several studies have addressed macrophage phenotype in experimental models, such as angiotensin II-induced AAA. A first study investigated macrophage phenotype using flow cytometry to identify M1 and M2 macrophages and qPCR analysis for expression of NOS2 and Ym1/2. The au

  Most remarkably, an essentially identical collagen-binding mode to DDR2 is employed by SPARC, an α-helical matricellular protein unrelated to DDR2 that also recognizes the GVMGFO motif in collagen (Giudici et al., 2008, Hohenester et al., 2008). The convergence of binding mechanisms suggests that th

  Our previous studies indicate that EBI2 is involved in the regulation of pro-inflammatory responses and inter-cellular communication under pathophysiological conditions such as LPS challenge (Rutkowska et al., 2016b). The data showed that media taken from LPS stimulated astrocytes induces macrophage

• Programmed cellular death or apoptosis

  2021-07-16

  

  Programmed cellular death or apoptosis is a process genetically controlled that plays an important role in cellular homeostasis, being an important defense mechanism to remove cells that have been infected, damaged or mutated (Smith and Smith, 2012, Wlodkowic et al., 2011). Nevertheless, apoptosis s

  Against this backdrop, we set out to identify synthetic and endogenous ligands that bind directly to and regulate the activity of Nurr1. Owing to the pivotal role Nurr1 plays in producing and processing dopamine, and the need for neurons to tightly regulate dopamine levels, we postulated that the r

  2021-07-16

  

  ATP-dependent DNA ligases in vertebrates are divided in three families [7]. Family I DNA ligases are responsible for sealing the nicks during DNA replication and in long-patch base excision repair (BER). Family III DNA ligases are involved in short-patch BER. Lastly, family IV DNA ligases are involv

  The recombinant Scl2 collagen system has shown capability as a biomaterial as well because of its adaptability and scalability. Scl2 was functionalized to crosslink into a hydrogel without disrupting its triple helix [130]. The Scl2–hydrogel crosslinking also did not disrupt cell adhesion and integr

  2021-07-16

  

  CysLTs trigger contractile and inflammatory processes through the specific interaction with cell surface receptors belonging to the rhodopsin family of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) genes. Until now, two receptor subtypes have been cloned, namely CysLT1 and CysLT2[8]. In particular, when the

  In addition to its HEAT repeats, CRM1 also possesses a C-terminal extension (C-extension, residues 1032–1071), composed of a helix (C-helix) followed by a short stretch of residues (C-tail). In the absence of Ran, the C-extension adopts a conspicuous conformation that bridges across the ring-shaped

  During the past decade, it became increasingly clear that the affinity and efficacy of small agonists acting on the orthosteric binding site of a GPCR can be modulated by ligands that bind to a topographically distinct (allosteric) binding site on the same GPCR molecule 33, 39, 40, 41, 42. This allo

  Previously, we have reported that magnitude of the disruption of the blood–aqueous barrier after paracentesis was reduced by 82% in EP4 receptor knockout mice (Biswas et al., 2006). In the present study, we observed that pretreatment of EP1 receptor knockout mice with EP4 receptor antagonist, reduce
