Humanized Fruit Flies as a Novel Pre-Clinical Test Model for Membrane Drug Transporters
Background: Membrane transport proteins are critical determinants of systemic and intracellular drug levels, thereby contributing substantially to drug response and/or adverse drug reactions. Therefore, the U.S.

Solar-driven carbon dioxide fixation using photosynthetic semiconductor bio-hybrids. [PDF]
Solar-driven conversion of carbon dioxide to value-added carbon products is an ambitious objective of ongoing research efforts. However, high overpotential, low selectivity and poor CO2 mass transfer plague purely inorganic electrocatalysts.

<div>Abstract<p>The drug–drug interaction (DDI) potential of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) as interacting drugs via transporter inhibition has not been fully assessed. Here, we estimated the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC<sub>50</sub>) values for 8 small-molecule TKIs (imatinib, dasatinib, nilotinib, gefitinib ...

Environmental stress responses in Lactococcus lactis [PDF]
Bacteria can encounter a variety of physical conditions during their life. Bacterial cells are able to survive these (often adverse) conditions by the induction of specific or general protection mechanisms. The lactic acid bacterium Lactococcus lactis is

Multi-heme Cytochromes in Shewanella oneidensis MR-1:Structures, functions and opportunities [PDF]
Multi-heme cytochromes are employed by a range of microorganisms to transport electrons over distances of up to tens of nanometers. Perhaps the most spectacular utilization of these proteins is in the reduction of extracellular solid substrates ...
