Mycophenolic acid induces apoptosis of hepatic stellate cells in an in vitro model of HCV
Introduction. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is an important risk factor for the development of liver fibrosis and progression to cirrhosis. Liver transplantation as terminal treatment option for liver disease requires life-long immunosuppression ...

Are Strong Bronsted Acids Necessarily Strong Lewis Acids? [PDF]
The Broensted and Lowry acid base theory is based on the capacity of proton donation or acceptance (in the presence or absence of a solvent) whereas the Lewis acid base theory is based on the propensity of electron pair acceptance or donation. We explore through DFT calculation the obvious question whether these two theories are in conformity with each

Mouse versus Rat: Profound Differences in Meiotic Regulation at the Level of the Isolated Oocyte [PDF]
Cumulus cell-enclosed oocytes (CEO), denuded oocytes (DO), or dissected follicles were obtained 44–48 hr after priming immature mice (20–23 days old) with 5 IU or immature rats (25–27 days old) with 12.5 IU of equine chorionic gonadotropin, and exposed ...

The Factors of the Classification of Protein Amino Acids [PDF]
In this work it is shown that three pairs of the factors appear to be the key, i.e. main factors of a natural classification of protein (canonical) amino acids within the amino acid (genetic) code. First pair: the factors of the habit of an amino acid molecule (size and polarity).

Reduction of N-glycan profile variation by using capacitance probes for optimized process control [PDF]
The glycan profile of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies frequently plays an important role in their biological function and pharmacokinetics. Therefore, improved control of the glycosylation profile of biopharmaceutical monoclonal antibodies has become ...

Y12C mutation disrupts IMPDH cytoophidia and alters cancer metabolism
IMPDH, the rate‐limiting enzyme for de novo GTP synthesis, can form polymers and cytoophidia to enhance activity by reducing GTP inhibition. In this study, a Y12C mutation in IMPDH2 was introduced via ABEmax base‐editing in human cancer cell lines to disrupt IMPDH polymerisation.
