Molecules, 2020 Adenosine -5′-triphosphate (ATP) plays a valuable role in metabolic activity to produce adequate energy in a biosystem. A high ATP/AMP ratio has a correlation with diabetes that induces suppression of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK).

Dominant immunosuppression of dendritic cell function by prostate-cancer-derived exosomes
Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, 2017 Exosomes are a distinct population of extracellular vesicles of endocytic origin with a protein repertoire similar to the parent cell. Although tumour-derived exosomes harbour immunosuppressive characteristics, they also carry tumour antigens and thus ...

Adenosine Dysfunction and Adenosine Kinase in Epileptogenesis [PDF]
The Open Neuroscience Journal, 2010 Traditionally, epilepsy has been considered to be a disorder of neuronal dysfunction. Based on this dogma, drug development efforts have largely focused on neurocentric model systems to screen for compounds that affect the function of neurons. Unfortunately, about 30% of all patients with epilepsy - or more than 20 million worldwide - are refractory to

Adenosine and Adenosine Receptors: Advances in Atrial Fibrillation
Biomedicines, 2022 Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in the world. Because the key to developing innovative therapies that limit the onset and the progression of AF is to fully understand the underlying molecular mechanisms of AF, the aim of the present narrative review is to report the most recent advances in the potential role of the adenosinergic ...

Broadband terahertz time-domain spectroscopy and fast FMCW imaging: principle and applications [PDF]
, 2020 We report a broadband terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) which enables twenty vibrational modes of adenosine nucleoside to be resolved in a wide frequency range of 1-20 THz. The observed spectroscopic features of adenosine are in good agreement with the published spectra obtained using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Raman ...

UV resistance of nucleosides -- an experimental approach [PDF]
, 2020 The emergence of life on Earth is a highly discussed but still unsolved question. Current research underlines the importance of environments within close proximity to the Earth's surface as they can solve long-standing problems such as polymerization of nucleotides and phosphorylation of nucleosides.

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of a Novel C8-Pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD) Adenosine Conjugate. A Study on the Role of the PBD Ring in the Biological Activity of PBD-Conjugates [PDF]
, 2020 Here we sought to evaluate the contribution of the PBD unit to the biological activity of PBD-conjugates and, to this end, an adenosine nucleoside was attached to the PBD A-ring C8 position.

Model for the unidirectional motion of a dynein molecule [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 77, 051916 (2008), 2008 Cytoplasmic dyneins transport cellular organelles by moving on a microtubule filament. It has been found recently that depending on the applied force and the concentration of the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules, dynein's step size varies. Based on these studies, we propose a simple model for dynein's unidirectional motion taking into account the
