Cerebrospinal Fluid Proenkephalin Predicts Striatal Atrophy Decades before Clinical Motor Diagnosis in Huntington's Disease

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Huntington's disease (HD) is characterized by early, selective, progressive vulnerability of striatal medium spiny neurons (MSNs). Proenkephalin (PENK), a precursor of opioid peptides abundantly expressed in MSNs, is a promising biomarker of striatal integrity, but region‐specific associations and its potential for early‐stage ...

Chitinase Enzyme-Producing Endophytic Bacterias From the Roots of the Plant Gembolo (Dioscorea bulbifera): Isolation, Characterization and its Potential as an Antifungal Agent

Molekul
Chitinase is an enzyme of the chitinolytic group that has many roles in agriculture, especially as an antifungal, because chitin is one of the constituent components of the fungal cell wall.

Characterization of the Maize Chitinase Genes and Their Effect on Aspergillus flavus and Aflatoxin Accumulation Resistance

PLoS ONE, 2015
Maize (Zea mays L.) is a crop of global importance, but prone to contamination by aflatoxins produced by fungi in the genus Aspergillus. The development of resistant germplasm and the identification of genes contributing to resistance would aid in the ...

Systematic Review with Meta‐Analysis of Biofluid Markers for Huntington's Disease

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Eight Huntington's Disease Biofluid Markers show Meta‐Analytic Significance Across HD‐ISS Stages. Meta‐analyses were conducted for two types of biomarkers: Different from demographically‐matched healthy controls and *Showing change over time. Abstract Primary therapeutic objectives for Huntington's disease (HD) necessitate continued therapy for a long ...

Screening of high chitinase-producing stains from Trichoderma harzianum and conditions for enzyme production

浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2010
Trichoderma harzianum wild-type strains were implanted by N+ to produce mutagenesis. A mutant stain H-13 with higher activity of chitinase was obtained by screening the mutants with transparent zone, and analyzing chitinase activity by DNS method. Single-

The role of chitin, chitinases, and chitinase-like proteins in pediatric lung diseases

Molecular and Cellular Pediatrics, 2015
Chitin, after cellulose, the second most abundant biopolymer on earth, is a key component of insects, fungi, and house-dust mites. Lower life forms are endowed with chitinases to defend themselves against chitin-bearing pathogens.

Cerebrospinal Fluid Biomarkers of NLRP3 Pathway, Immune Dysregulation, and Neurodegeneration in Parkinson's Disease: A Meta‐Analysis

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The activation of the NOD‐, LRR‐ and pyrin domain‐containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome and associated immune dysregulation is one of the key pathological processes preceding and accompanying α‐synuclein pathology, neuronal damage, and cell death in Parkinson's disease (PD).
