Clinical Implications of “Tailored” Antiplatelet Therapy in Patients With Chronic Total Occlusion
Background Clopidogrel nonresponsiveness is a prognostic marker after percutaneous coronary intervention. Prasugrel and ticagrelor provide a better platelet inhibition and represent the first‐line antiplatelet treatment in acute coronary syndrome.

Inhibition of Gastric Erosion Formations in Rats by Adenosine, 5 /-Adenosine Monophosphate and 5 /- Adenosine Diphosphate [PDF]
Gastric erosions were induced in rats with indomethacin, 5-hydoxytryptamine (5-HT) or reserpine. Three adenine compounds adenosine, adenosine, 5 /-adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and 5 /- adenosine diphosphate (ADP) were found to protect against the ...

Neurogenetics of the Human Adenosine Receptor Genes: Genetic Structures and Involvement in Brain Diseases [PDF]
Adenosine receptors are G-protein-coupled receptors involved in a wide range of physiological and pathological phenomena in most mammalian systems. All four receptors are widely expressed in the central nervous system, where they modulate neurotransmitter release and neuronal plasticity. A large number of gene association studies have shown that common

Altered chemomechanical coupling causes impaired motility of the kinesin-4 motors KIF27 and KIF7. [PDF]
Kinesin-4 motors play important roles in cell division, microtubule organization, and signaling. Understanding how motors perform their functions requires an understanding of their mechanochemical and motility properties.

Crystallization of Adenylylsulfate Reductase from Desulfovibrio gigas: A Strategy Based on Controlled Protein Oligomerization [PDF]
Adenylylsulfate reductase (adenosine 5′-phosphosulfate reductase, APS reductase or APSR, E.C.1.8.99.2) catalyzes the conversion of APS to sulfite in dissimilatory sulfate reduction. APSR was isolated and purified directly from massive anaerobically grown

Neurochemical measurement of adenosine in discrete brain regions of five strains of inbred mice. [PDF]
Adenosine (ADO), a non-classical neurotransmitter and neuromodulator, and its metabolites adenosine triphosphate (ATP), adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and adenosine monophosphate (AMP), have been shown to play an important role in a number of biochemical ...

The ART of tumor immune escape
We recently identified the adenosine-5′-diphosphate (ADP)–ribosyltransferase-1 (ART1) as a novel immune checkpoint expressed by cancer cells. ART1 utilizes free nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) in the tumor microenvironment (TME) to mono-ADP ...
