Inhibition of free radical generation and improved survival by protection of the hepatic microvascular endothelium by targeted erythrocytes in orthotopic rat liver transplantation [PDF]
The capacity of specifically targeted erythrocytes to inhibit free radical—mediated injury to the endothelial cell after cold preservation, and improve liver function was studied in two experimental models: An isolated perfused rat liver (IPRL) system ...

Characterization and Antibody Preparation of the Gene Products of Grouper Iridovirus ORF5L
ABSTRACT Grouper iridovirus (GIV) is a large DNA virus belonging to the family Iridoviridae and genus Ranavirus. It consists of 139,793 base pairs (bp) and 120 open reading frames (ORFs). GIV is a key pathogen of farmed fish worldwide. The functional roles of viral genes must be determined for the early diagnosis, treatment and prevention of viral ...

Using targeted HILIC‐MS/MS metabolomics, inosine and hypoxanthine were identified as potential biomarkers of EPO administration. Their consistent and sensitive plasma responses highlight their promise for inclusion in the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP), warranting further investigation to enhance anti‐doping detection strategies. ABSTRACT Increasing

The Influence of Schwann Cell Metabolism and Dysfunction on Axon Maintenance
Main Points Sensory neurons depend on Schwann cells for survival. Schwann cells provide energy for axons dunng rapid firing or after injury. Dysregulated metabolism in Schwann cells can lead to the production of neurotoxic and axon degeneration. ABSTRACT Schwann cells are the glial cells in the peripheral nervous system responsible for the production ...
