Natural Inhibitors of Snake Venom Metalloendopeptidases: History and Current Challenges
Toxins, 2016 The research on natural snake venom metalloendopeptidase inhibitors (SVMPIs) began in the 18th century with the pioneering work of Fontana on the resistance that vipers exhibited to their own venom.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Dormant cancer cells can hide in distant organs for years, evading treatment and the immune system. This review highlights how signals from the surrounding tissue and immune environment keep these cells inactive or trigger their reawakening. Understanding these mechanisms may help develop therapies to eliminate or control dormant cells and prevent ...

Impaired decidual natural killer cell regulation of vascular remodelling in early human pregnancies with high uterine artery resistance [PDF]
, 2012 During human pregnancy, natural killer (NK) cells accumulate in the maternal decidua, but their specific roles remain to be determined. Decidual NK (dNK) cells are present during trophoblast invasion and uterine spiral artery remodelling.

Using porous metals to enhance heat transfer in phase change materials (PCMs) [PDF]
, 2011 Heat transfer enhancement mechanism of Phase Change Materials (PCMs) by high-porosity metal foams was investigated in this study. The Darcy-Brinkman-Forchheimer modified flow model was employed in the numerical simulations to consider the non-Darcy ...

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Mouse pre‐implantation development involves a transition from totipotency to pluripotency. Integrating transcriptomics, epigenetic profiling, low‐input proteomics and functional assays, we show that eight‐cell embryos retain residual totipotency features, whereas cytoskeletal remodeling regulated by the ubiquitin‐proteasome system drives progression ...

Detection of bacterial sulfatase activity through liquid- and solid-phase colony-based assays
AMB Express, 2017 Bacterial arylsulfatases are crucial to biosynthesis in many microorganisms, as bacteria often utilize aryl sulfates as a source of sulfur. The bacterial sulfatases are associated with pathogenesis and are applied in many areas such as industry and ...

The effect of combined sewer overflow (CSO) on the abundance of antibiotic resistant bacteria in the James River [PDF]
, 2017 Antibiotics have been used to treat bacterial infections worldwide since their discovery in the early 20th century and are vital to human health. Unfortunately, the heavy use of antibiotics has led to the increased natural selection of antibiotic ...
