Acute caffeine treatment protects the developing retina from ischemia‐induced cell death

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Caffeine reduces cell death in the developing retina under ischemia (OGD). This effect does not involve BDNF upregulation or antioxidant pathways (NRF2/VEGF). Neuroprotection occurs mainly through adenosine A2A receptor antagonism, decreasing glutamate release and excitotoxicity, highlighting caffeine's potential as an acute neuroprotective agent in ...

Sudden anaerobization in Amphibacillus xylanus increases intracellular labile ferrous iron and inhibits cell growth

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Abruptly changing from aerobic to anaerobic conditions (sudden anaerobization) induced growth inhibition and a significant increase in intracellular labile ferrous iron in the aerotolerant anaerobe Amphibacillus xylanus. We found that free flavins mediate efficient electron transfer from NADH to ferric iron under anaerobic conditions, suggesting that ...

CX-5461 Preferentially Induces Top2α-Dependent DNA Breaks at Ribosomal DNA Loci

open access: yesBiomedicines
While genotoxic chemotherapeutic agents are among the most effective tools to combat cancer, they are often associated with severe adverse effects caused by indiscriminate DNA damage in non-tumor tissue as well as increased risk of secondary ...

Phylogenetic and phyletic studies of informational genes in genomes highlight existence of a 4 domain of life including giant viruses. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
The discovery of Mimivirus, with its very large genome content, made it possible to identify genes common to the three domains of life (Eukarya, Bacteria and Archaea) and to generate controversial phylogenomic trees congruent with that of ribosomal genes,

The Amplified Ribosomal DNA of Dytiscid Beetles [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1974
During oogenesis in many animals there is a massive extrachromosomal synthesis of the genes for ribosomal RNA. In Dytiscid beetles, as in the toad Xenopus , the amplified ribosomal DNA occurs as circular molecules of different sizes.

Effects of IGFBP4 deficiency on human preadipocyte proliferation and differentiation through the IGF1R/AKT pathway

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
IGFBP4 knockdown (KD) impairs preadipocyte proliferation and is associated with IGF1R protein downregulation and attenuated AKT phosphorylation. The mechanisms by which IGFBP4 KD influences the IGF1R/AKT signaling pathway involve newly synthesized proteins and lysosomal degradation pathways. Created in BioRender.

Catalogue of fungi in China 2. Ramaria from northern China

open access: yesMycology
The species of Ramaria are coralloid-fungi with intricately branched and vividly coloured basidiomata. There are many studies on the genus Ramaria in China, but molecular phylogenetic analysis is rarely employed.

Quantitation of Human Ribosomal DNA: Hybridization of Human DNA with Ribosomal RNA for Quantitation and Fractionation [PDF]

open access: yesPediatric Research, 1973
Extract: Quantitation of human genes for ribosomal RNA (rRNA) was possible by molecular DNA/RNA hybridization on nitrocellulose discs. Labeled ribosomal RNA hybridizes with an average of 14 × 10-5 of the total human DNA. If we assume that the diploid cell contains 5.5 × 1012 daltons of DNA, the ribosomal RNA hybridizes with 7.7 × 108 daltons of ...

From energy provision to protein synthesis: Tunnelling nanotubes as mediators of intercellular metabolic cooperation in cancer

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The cytoskeleton‐mediated transport of mitochondria via tunnelling nanotubes restores respiration, increases ATP production, rescues cells from apoptosis, activates the AKT/mTOR signalling pathway, promotes cell migration and invasiveness, contributes to cancer progression and treatment resistance.
