  2024-05-08

  

  In the past few years, several experimental findings have demonstrated a pivotal involvement of adenosine also in driving the phenotypic switch of macrophages. In particular, the stimulation of A2A and A2B receptors seems to play a critical role in switching macrophages from M1 to M2 phenotype [37,6

  2024-05-08

  

  The difficulty of characterizing nAChRs in the central nervous system is also exemplified by early observations that nicotine caused no detectable effect when applied on a brain slice and it is only with the focal and high time resolution of more recent experiments that the effects of nicotinic neur

  2024-05-08

  

  The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is a neuroendocrine system that is central to regulating responses to stress (Palazidou, 2012). In older persons, a high dysfunction of the HPA axis is observed (Otte et al., 2005) which may be enhanced by stimulatory effects of genes involved in the axi

  Conclusion There have been multiple clinical trials and pre-clinical studies that have tested the utility of 5ARIs in treating prostate disease, as summarized in Fig. 1. Inhibiting androgen action through the use of finasteride and dutasteride has been established as a valuable resource for physi

  2024-05-08

  

  Introduction Nausea and vomiting are among the most distressing side effects associated with chemotherapy in cancer patients (Billio et al., 2010). Severe emesis can negatively affect a patient's nutritional state, ability to work and motivation, which can, in turn, interfere with the clinical co

  2024-05-08

  

  Among the AXL-positive tumors that we screened, the TNBC cell line MDA-MB-231 showed the highest AXL expression level. Additionally, AXL protein levels were higher in TNBC patient samples than in other breast cancers. Considering the difficulty of, and the urgent need for, effective treatments of TN

  2024-05-08

  

  However, there are studies revealing the “dark side” of autophagy at later stages in cancers, when oncogenes (mainly K-ras and B-raf) are activated and/or tumour suppressors such as PTEN and p53 are inactivated. These studies are based on the use of GEMM and deletions of essential autophagy genes (A

  2024-05-08

  

  Inactivation of the proton pump comes with luminal alkalinization of the targeted vesicles such as lysosomes (Fig. 2b). Lysosome pH can also be raised stoichiometrically by addition of a membrane-permeable weak Emodin such as methylamine or chloroquine which accumulates in its protonated, non-membr

  2024-05-08

  

  Introduction Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide and is one of the most refractory of solid tumors along with pancreatic cancer. Since 1975 there have been notable improvements in the 5-year survival rate of patients with lung cancer [1]. This improvement in survival is tho

  Current limitations and future directions There are several limitations associated with PET imaging of aromatase using carbon-11 labeled aromatase inhibitors. Due to the very short half-life of carbon 11 (20min), PET studies with currently available, validated tracers can only be performed in med

  2024-05-07

  

  Antioxidative enzymes such as SOD and CAT play prominent roles in protecting against oxidative stress and extending food freshness due to their ability in scavenging active oxygen species for maintaining cell membrane integrity. Evidence shows that activities of SOD and CAT are positively affected b

  There is little question that as we become more proficient in the diagnosis of arginase 1 deficiency individuals with intermediary elevations in arginine on newborn screening and partial defects in enzymatic activity will be found. There are no reliable data to determine a safe level of arginine and

  To introduce in a simple way the variability in the concentration of the proteins involved in the process, and to consider possible stochastic effects due to possible finite sizes of the populations involved in the problem, the dynamics of each cell is studied using the Gillespie’s algorithm (Gilles

  The apocrine sweat glands of the human axilla produce odor substances with pheromone functions whose nature corresponds to volatile steroids (Cowley and Brooksbank, 1991, Grosser et al., 2000, Sobel et al., 1999, Weller, 1998). These functions only begin with puberty, indicating that sex hormones st

  Perhaps the first evidence of AMPKs therapeutic ability in DM1 came from Thomas Cooper’s laboratory where they demonstrated that insulin-independent glucose uptake was unaffected in human DM1 muscle Phenformin treated with MET, an AMPK activator and first-line therapy for type 2 diabetes mellitus [
