Ultraslow water-mediated transmembrane interactions regulate the activation of A$_{\text{2A}}$ adenosine receptor [PDF]
Water molecules inside G-protein coupled receptor have recently been spotlighted in a series of crystal structures. To decipher the dynamics and functional roles of internal waters in GPCR activity, we studied A$_{\text{2A}}$ adenosine receptor using $\mu$sec-molecular dynamics simulations.

Sestrin2 is a leucine sensor for the mTORC1 pathway [PDF]
Leucine is a proteogenic amino acid that also regulates many aspects of mammalian physiology, in large part by activating the mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) protein kinase, a master growth controller.

Mitochondrial dynamics in autoimmune diseases
Roles of mitochondrial dynamic imbalance in autoimmune diseases. The imbalance of mitochondrial fusion and fission is involved in the occurrence and development of autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjogren's syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, type 1 diabetes, psoriasis, and autoimmune ...

Mechanisms of Degranulation in Neutrophils [PDF]
Neutrophils are critical inflammatory cells that cause tissue damage in a range of diseases and disorders. Being bone marrow-derived white blood cells, they migrate from the bloodstream to sites of tissue inflammation in response to chemotactic signals ...

An exceptional case of peritoneal cystic echinococcosis in a domestic cat in Australia
A case of peritoneal cystic echinococcosis (CE) in a domestic cat was reported from Queensland, Australia. Physical examination of the cat indicated a large, distended abdomen, which when palpated appeared to be fluid‐filled. Ultrasonography showed numerous cysts with hyperechoic walls and anechoic contents within the cat's abdominal cavity.

Broadband terahertz time-domain spectroscopy and fast FMCW imaging: principle and applications [PDF]
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 ...

Ultrastructural localization of adenosine triphosphatase activity in lymphocytes activated in vitro by phytohaemagglutinin [PDF]
The ultrastructural localization of Ca 2+, Mg2+ -activated ATPase was studied in phytohaemagglutinin activated lymphocytes and in normal unstimulated lymphocytes. Cells, fixed in paraformaldehyde-glutaraldehyde, were incubated in a medium containing 3 mM

Toward molecular phenotyping of temporal lobe epilepsy by spatial omics
Abstract Objective In temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), detection of the epileptogenic zone predicts a good surgical outcome. When submitted to 18F‐fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (PET), some patients display lateralized, focal hypometabolism in the temporal lobe (PET+), whereas others appear normometabolic (PET−).

UV resistance of nucleosides -- an experimental approach [PDF]
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.
