The P7C3 class of neuroprotective aminopropyl carbazoles has been shown to block neuronal cell death in models of neurodegeneration. We now show that P7C3 molecules additionally preserve axonal integrity after injury, before neuronal cell death occurs ...

Emerging therapeutic roles for NAD+ metabolism in mitochondrial and age-related disorders [PDF]
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) is a central metabolic cofactor in eukaryotic cells that plays a critical role in regulating cellular metabolism and energy homeostasis. NAD(+) in its reduced form (i.e.

Genetic ablation of purine salvage in Cryptosporidium parvum reveals nucleotide uptake from the host cell [PDF]
The apicomplexan parasite Cryptosporidium is a leading global cause of severe diarrheal disease and an important contributor to early-childhood mortality. Waterborne outbreaks occur frequently, even in countries with advanced water treatment capabilities,

Effect of Caffeine on the Expression Pattern of Water-Soluble Proteins in Rice () Seedlings
It has been suggested that caffeine acts as an allelochemical which influences the germination and growth of plants. The effect of caffeine on the expression profiles of proteins was investigated in shoot-root axes of rice (Oryza sativa) seedlings.
