How do nematodes transfer phosphorylcholine to carbohydrates? [PDF]

, 2010
An unusual aspect of the biology of nematodes is the attachment of phosphorylcholine (PC) to carbohydrate. The attachment appears to play an important role in nematode development and, in some parasitic species, in immunomodulation.

Natural Products as Geroprotective Modulators in Diabetic Nephropathy: A Mechanistic Framework Integrating Aging Hallmarks and the AMPK–SIRT1–Nrf2 Axis

Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.
Natural products target the aging kidney in diabetic nephropathy by restoring the AMPK–SIRT1–Nrf2 axis, reducing oxidative stress, inflammation, fibrosis, and cellular senescence while enhancing mitochondrial biogenesis and antioxidant defenses.

FGB1 and WSC3 are in planta-induced beta-glucan-binding fungal lectins with different functions [PDF]

, 2019
In the root endophyte Serendipita indica, several lectin-like members of the expanded multigene family of WSC proteins are transcriptionally induced in planta and are potentially involved in beta-glucan remodeling at the fungal cell wall.

Data on PCR primer design for glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase gene and the effects of dietary carbohydrate levels on its expression in the liver of Malaysian mahseer (Tor tambroides)

Data in Brief, 2020
The enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) catalyses the metabolite glucose-6-phosphate in producing NADPH during the first phase of pentose-phosphate pathway thus provides reducing power to all cells for cellular growth, antioxidant defence ...

dbCAN-seq: a database of carbohydrate-active enzyme (CAZyme) sequence and annotation [PDF]

Nucleic Acids Research, 2017
Carbohydrate-active enzyme (CAZymes) are not only the most important enzymes for bioenergy and agricultural industries, but also very important for human health, in that human gut microbiota encode hundreds of CAZyme genes in their genomes for degrading various dietary and host carbohydrates.

Frailty Exacerbates Disability in Progressive Multiple Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background To evaluate frailty in severe progressive multiple sclerosis (PMS) and to investigate the underlying mechanisms. Methods This prospective, cross‐sectional, multicenter study enrolled a late severe PMS group requiring skilled nursing (n = 53) and an age, sex, and disease duration‐matched control PMS group (n = 53).

Ketogenic Diet as an Epigenetic Therapy in SETD1B‐Related Epilepsy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Histone lysine methyltransferases such as SETD1B regulate chromatin structure and gene transcription. Ketone bodies, including butyrate, act as histone deacetylase inhibitors. We report a 4‐year‐old boy with SETD1B‐related absence epilepsy, refractory to conventional medications, who achieved sustained > 90% seizure reduction on the Modified ...
