Functional and genetic evidence that nucleoside transport is highly conserved in Leishmania species: Implications for pyrimidine-based chemotherapy [PDF]
, 2017 Leishmania pyrimidine salvage is replete with opportunities for therapeutic intervention with enzyme inhibitors or antimetabolites. Their uptake into cells depends upon specific transporters; therefore it is essential to establish whether various ...

Autonomic Neuroscience, 2022 The story of purinergic neurotransmission and regulation is intimately linked to studies of the somatosensory system. Burnstock's contributions to the discovery of ATP as a primary afferent neurotransmitter, as well as a signal of peripheral tissue damage that depolarised sensory neurons initiated a new period of pain research.

Upregulation of inducible NO synthase by exogenous adenosine in vascular smooth muscle cells activated by inflammatory stimuli in experimental diabetes [PDF]
, 2016 BACKGROUND: Adenosine has been shown to induce nitric oxide (NO) production via inducible NO synthase (iNOS) activation in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Although this is interpreted as a beneficial vasodilating pathway in vaso-occlusive disorders,

Relaxing the Hypotheses of Symmetry and Time-Reversibility in Genome Evolutionary Models [PDF]
British journal of mathematics and computer science. 5(4), 439-455
(2015), 2016 Various genome evolutionary models have been proposed these last decades to predict the evolution of a DNA sequence over time, essentially described using a mutation matrix. By essence, all of these models relate the evolution of DNA sequences to the computation of the successive powers of the mutation matrix.

Predicting the Evolution of Gene $ura3$ in the Yeast Saccharomyces Cerevisiae [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Since the late `60s, various genome evolutionary models have been proposed to predict the evolution of a DNA sequence as the generations pass. Most of these models are based on nucleotides evolution, so they use a mutation matrix of size 4x4. They encompass for instance the well-known models of Jukes and Cantor, Kimura, and Tamura.
