Far‐infrared irradiation attenuates platelet‐derived growth factor‐stimulated vascular smooth muscle cell migration through protein phosphatase 2A‐mediated Akt inhibition

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
FIR irradiation enhances the physical association between Akt and PP2Ac in VSMCs, independent of the hyperthermal effect of FIR rays. The increased binding between Akt and PP2Ac induced by FIR irradiation facilitates the dephosphorylation of Akt at Ser473.

Self-Association of Okadaic Acid: Structural and Pharmacological Significance

Marine Drugs, 2013
Okadaic acid (OA) has been an invaluable pharmacological tool in the study of cellular signaling. The great affinity of this polyether for its targets together with its high specificity to inhibit certain protein phosphatases enables the differential ...

Structure determination of new algal toxins using NMR methods [PDF]

, 2006
Shellfish are considered a delicacy by many consumers. In NZ, as in many overseas countries, there is a now thriv¬ing shellfish industry servicing both domestic and inter-national markets. Periodically shellfish accumulate harm¬ful levels of a variety of

Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia–linked ryanodine receptor variants exhibit domain‐specific calcium leak and calmodulin affinity properties

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) variants in N terminal (NTD) and central domain (CD) but not pore domain induce a pathological RyR2 conformational shift upon protein kinase A (PKA) phosphorylation, similar to that seen in heart failure (HF), calcium/calmodulin‐dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII ...

A rapid competitive ELISA assay of Okadaic acid level based on epoxy-functionalized magnetic beads

Food and Agricultural Immunology, 2019
Using newly designed epoxy group activated carbon shell magnetic beads as a goat against mouse antibody (G-Mab) carrier, a competitive immunoassay was conducted on the surface of G-Mab-coated magnetic beads (G-Mab-MBs).

Cell cycle regulation of a Xenopus Wee1-like kinase [PDF]

, 1995
Using a polymerase chain reaction-based strategy, we have isolated a gene encoding a Wee1-like kinase from Xenopus eggs. The recombinant Xenopus Wee1 protein efficiently phosphorylates Cdc2 exclusively on Tyr- 15 in a cyclin-dependent manner.

Adapting tissue-engineered in vitro CNS models for high-throughput study of neurodegeneration [PDF]

, 2017
Neurodegenerative conditions remain difficult to treat, with the continuing failure to see therapeutic research successfully advance to clinical trials. One of the obstacles that must be overcome is to develop enhanced models of disease.

Enteric Nervous System Damage by Food Contaminants: A Pathway to Neurodegeneration?

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The enteric nervous system (ENS), a key component of the gut–brain axis, has emerged as a critical player in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). It is the first neural system exposed to food contaminants (FCs)—a diverse group of ubiquitous toxic compounds fortuitously present in food derived from production, processing, storage, or ...

Aerosolizable marine phycotoxins and human health effects : in vitro support for the biogenics hypothesis [PDF]

, 2020
Respiratory exposure to marine phycotoxins is of increasing concern. Inhalation of sea spray aerosols (SSAs), during harmful Karenia brevis and Ostreopsis ovata blooms induces respiratory distress among others. The biogenics hypothesis, however, suggests

Mitochondrial Homeostasis in Pancreatic β Cell Function: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Targets for Diabetes

Journal of Diabetes, Volume 18, Issue 5, May 2026.
This review highlights mitochondrial dysfunction as a central driver of pancreatic β cell failure in diabetes, caused by disrupted mitochondrial quality control (MQC), oxidative stress, and impaired organelle communication. Emerging therapies, such as DRAK2 inhibitors and metabolic reprogramming agents, show promise in restoring β cell function by ...
