  Another breakthrough towards the understanding of the mechanisms responsible for stress-induced relapse to drug seeking behaviour is the evidence published by the group of Wise [34] in which they show that the activation of VTA CRF2 and not CRF1 receptors is responsible for stress-mediated relapse t

  Caspi et al. (2005) first identified that the COMT polymorphism moderated the influence of adolescent cannabis use on developing adult psychosis (Caspi et al., 2005). In particular, compared to Met carriers, subjects with the Val/Val genotype were most likely to exhibit psychotic symptoms and to dev

  T helper (Th) Compstatin play a central role in activation of immune system against infectious agents through secretion of lymphokines or cytokines. African trypanosomes target the Th cells and alter their activation, possibly for their own survival and perpetuity (Namangala, 2011). Trypanosoma bruc

  The transcription factor CREB has been extensively studied for its role in hippocampus-dependent learning and memory (West et al., 2002, Lonze and Ginty, 2002). Previous research has demonstrated that the phosphorylation of CREB at Ser133, performed by the ERK1/2 signaling pathway, initiates a casca

  EBI2 is known to play a critical role in the induction of antibody responses in secondary lymphoid tissues.13, 14 However, little is known about the expression and function of EBI2 in human peripheral tissues. To our knowledge, this is the first report of increased EBI2 levels in peripheral tissues

  There was a good alignment profile between compound 26 (IC50 0.06μM) and MTX (IC50 0.08μM) explaining its activity pattern (Fig. 5a). Fig. 5b clearly indicates a different alignment profiles where carbonyl groups are not on the same side between 25 (IC50>100.0μM) and MTX which is in consistency with

  Mitophagy is a selective autophagic process which leads to the degradation of damaged mitochondria in response to metabolic or environmental stress conditions. In this study, we found that LFS-01 treatment significantly enhances p62 in a time-dependent manner. We found that the upregulation of p62 i

  Nevertheless, two problems exist in BGCFC in practice. The first one is that time complexity of the ID assignment algorithm presented in Section 3.1 is O(N!), which means a factorial time complexity. Because it obtains the consecutive IDs by enumerating all permutations of ID to N−1, the total numbe

  In mammals, ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) is a unique enzyme that catalyzes the rate-limiting step of de novo synthesis of deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs).7, 8 Mammalian RNR consists of two homodimer subunits: the large catalytic dimer RRM1 and the small regulatory dimer RRM2 or RRM2B. An

  Epac proteins consist of a carboxyl-terminal catalytic region and an amino-terminal regulatory region, which harbors one cAMP-binding domain in Epac1 and two in Epac2 [22], [32], [51]. In the absence of cAMP, the regulatory region covers the CDC25-homology domain and autoinhibits Epac\'s enzymatic a

  Initial investigations in the heart uncovered Epac as a positive regulator of myocyte hypertrophy [8], [9]. Concomitantly, Epac has been shown to regulate cardiac Ca homeostasis [8], [10], [11], [12], [13]. Ca is an essential second messenger in the cardiac physiology because its rhythmic variations

  Enzyme activations Activated proteinases can unleash a deluge of tissue damage (Zucker et al., 2009). Once activated, the essential enzymes such as serine proteases and cysteine proteases cannot discriminate between self and non-self, burning away self-tissues (Chien et al., 2009, Laskar et al.,
