Structural Derivative Model for Tissue Radiation Response [PDF]

, 2017
By means of a recently-proposed metric or structural derivative, called scale-q-derivative approach, we formulate differential equation that models the cell death by a radiation exposure in tumor treatments.

Reduced hippocampal neurogenesis in R6/2 transgenic Huntington's disease mice

Neurobiology of Disease, 2005
We investigated whether cell proliferation and neurogenesis are altered in R6/2 transgenic Huntington's disease mice. Using bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU), we found a progressive decrease in the number of proliferating cells in the dentate gyrus of R6/2 mice ...

Nuclear expression of Lyn, a Src family kinase member, is associated with poor prognosis in renal cancer patients [PDF]

, 2016
Background: 8000 cases of renal cancer are diagnosed each year in the UK, with a five-year survival rate of 50 %. Treatment options are limited; a potential therapeutic target is the Src family kinases (SFKs).

BECLIN-1/BECN1 at the barrier: a gatekeeper of epithelial and endothelial homeostasis

Autophagy Reports
Epithelial and endothelial barriers are essential for tissue homeostasis, protecting the body from environmental insults while regulating selective transport. The integrity of these barriers relies on dynamic intercellular junctions whose composition and

Microprocessor-controlled vs. "dump-freezing" platelet and lymphocyte cryopreservation: A quantitative and qualitative comparative study [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2006
Background/Aim. Thermodynamical and cryobiological parameters responsible for cell damages during cryopreservation (cryoinjuries) have not yet been completely explained. Thus, freezing procedures should be revised, exactly optimized to obtain an enhanced

Expression of LDL receptor-related proteins (LRPs) in common solid malignancies correlates with patient survival [PDF]

, 2017
LDL receptor-related proteins (LRPs) are transmembrane receptors involved in endocytosis, cell-signaling, and trafficking of other cellular proteins. Considerable work has focused on LRPs in the fields of vascular biology and neurobiology.

BECLIN-1 is essential for the maintenance of gastrointestinal epithelial integrity by regulating endocytic trafficking, F-actin organization, and lysosomal function

Autophagy Reports
Disrupted intestinal homeostasis and barrier function contribute to the development of diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease. BECLIN-1, a core component of two class III phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase complexes, has a dual role in autophagy and ...

Paradoxical Roles of Leucine-Rich α2-Glycoprotein-1 in Cell Death and Survival Modulated by Transforming Growth Factor-Beta 1 and Cytochrome c

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Leucine-rich α2-glycoprotein-1 (LRG1) has been shown to impact both apoptosis and cell survival, pleiotropic effects similar to one of its known ligands, transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1).

Targeting the CXCR4 pathway using a novel anti-CXCR4 IgG1 antibody (PF-06747143) in chronic lymphocytic leukemia. [PDF]

, 2017
BackgroundThe CXCR4-CXCL12 axis plays an important role in the chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)-microenvironment interaction. Overexpression of CXCR4 has been reported in different hematological malignancies including CLL.

S-Nitrosoglutathione Reductase Plays Opposite Roles in SH-SY5Y Models of Parkinson’s Disease and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Mediators of Inflammation, 2015
Oxidative and nitrosative stresses have been reported as detrimental phenomena concurring to the onset of several neurodegenerative diseases. Here we reported that the ectopic modulation of the denitrosylating enzyme S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR)
