Insights into the functional biology of schistosomes [PDF]

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2011
The need to discover new treatments for human schistosomiasis has been an important driver for molecular research on schistosomes, a major breakthrough being the publication of the Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma japonicum genomes in 2009. This 'Primer' considers recent advances in the understanding of schistosome biology by providing a snapshot of

Engineering a Pseudo-26-kDa Schistosoma Glutathione Transferase from bovis/haematobium for Structure, Kinetics, and Ligandin Studies

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2021
Glutathione transferases (GSTs) are the main detoxification enzymes in schistosomes. These parasitic enzymes tend to be upregulated during drug treatment, with Schistosoma haematobium being one of the species that mainly affect humans. There is a lack of

Her2 Ile655Val polymorphism and its association with breast cancer risk: an updated meta-analysis of case-control studies

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most common types of cancer in women worldwide. Several factors including genetic and environmental have been linked with susceptibility to development of BC. Her2 is a transmembrane protein with tyrosine kinase activity,

The Effect of Milk Replacer Composition on the Intestinal Microbiota of Pre-ruminant Dairy Calves

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2019
The impact of dietary composition and prebiotics, in promoting the growth of beneficial groups of gut bacteria, is increasingly apparent. Using Illumina MiSeq sequencing of bacterial 16S rRNA genes, this study has aimed to characterize and compare the ...

Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptors (FGFRs) and Noncanonical Partners in Cancer Signaling

open access: yesCells, 2021
Increasing evidence indicates that success of targeted therapies in the treatment of cancer is context-dependent and is influenced by a complex crosstalk between signaling pathways and between cell types in the tumor.

Utilization of Snakehead Fish Meat for Increasing Kidney Function in Rat Experiencing Physiological Stress

open access: yesBiosaintifika: Journal of Biology & Biology Education, 2018
Physiological stress for a long time can lead to impaired kidney organ function. Snakehead fish meat are known to contain important nutrients such as albumin, glutamine, glycine, cysteine, and various minerals that can improve kidney function. This study

Hybridization is a recurrent evolutionary stimulus in wild yeast speciation

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Hybridization can contribute to diversity from the genomic to the species level. Here, Eberlein, Hénault et al. investigate genomic, transcriptomic and phenotypic variation among wild lineages of the yeast Saccharomyces paradoxus and suggest that an ...

Homeostasis as the Mechanism of Evolution. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Homeostasis is conventionally thought of merely as a synchronic (same time) servo-mechanism that maintains the status quo for organismal physiology. However, when seen from the perspective of developmental physiology, homeostasis is a robust, dynamic ...
