Glyburide inhibits the Cryopyrin/Nalp3 inflammasome [PDF]
Inflammasomes activate caspase-1 for processing and secretion of the cytokines interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) and IL-18. Cryopyrin/NALP3/NLRP3 is an essential component of inflammasomes triggered by microbial ligands, danger-associated molecular patterns

ABSTRACT Purpose Mammalian sperm require a large amount of ATP to sustain motility. While glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) are established ATP sources, they cannot fully explain motility maintenance under glucose‐deprived conditions.

Background and Purpose Neuroinflammation is increasingly recognised to contribute to drug‐resistant epilepsy. Activation of ATP‐gated P2X7 receptors has emerged as an important upstream mechanism, and increased P2X7 receptor expression is present in the seizure focus in rodent models and patients. Pharmacological antagonists of P2X7 receptors attenuate

BIOREMEDIATION OF CADMIUM CONTAMINATED WATER: BACTERIAL ACCUMULATION AND SURFACE COMPLEXITY BY REVIBACILLUS AGRI C15 AND BREVIBACILLUS AGRI C15 CDR [PDF]
Brevibacillus agri C15 and Brevibacillus agri C15 CdR have been reported as a tool for do uptake of cadmium (Cd). Nevertheless, it is unclear whether these strains contrast in their adsorption behaviors and surface complexation could be one of the ...

Application of luciferase assay for ATP to antimicrobial drug susceptibility [PDF]
The susceptibility of bacteria, particularly those derived from body fluids, to antimicrobial agents is determined in terms of an ATP index measured by culturing a bacterium in a growth medium.

Ontogeny of purinergic receptor-regulated Ca2+ signaling in mouse cortical collecting duct epithelium [PDF]
Changes in ATP-induced increase in {[}Ca2+], during collecting duct ontogeny were studied in primary monolayer cultures of mouse ureteric bud (UB) and cortical collecting duct (CCD) cells by Fura-PE3 fluorescence ratio imaging.

Effects of CMV on T and NK Cells; With Emphasis on Immunometabolism
CMV is masterful at manipulating stress responses and conducting them in a way that yields beneficial outcomes. CMV always causes metabolic changes in the infected cells. However, nutritional status affects the pattern of events following CMV infection.

The effectiveness of human SAGE medium compared to other conventional culture media on the ovine early embryonic development, in vitro [PDF]
Developing an optimal in vitro embryo culture medium with high blastocyst rates and good-quality embryos remains challenging and controversial, as most culture media directly impact mammalian embryonic development.

Strategies for maximizing ATP supply in the microsporidian Encephalitozoon cuniculi: direct binding of mitochondria to the parasitophorous vacuole and clustering of the mitochondrial porin VDAC [PDF]
Microsporidia are obligate intracellular parasites with extremely reduced genomes and a dependence on host-derived ATP. The microsporidium Encephalitozoon cuniculi proliferates within a membranous vacuole and we investigated how the ATP supply is ...
