Clinical and Microbiological Efficacy of Pyrophosphate Containing Toothpaste: A Double-Blinded Placebo-Controlled Randomized Clinical Trial

Microorganisms, 2020
(1) Background: Dental calculus works as a niche wherein pathogenic bacteria proliferate in the oral cavity. Previous studies revealed the anticalculus activity of pyrophosphates, however there was no clinical study that evaluated microbiome changes ...

Characterization of the phosphofructokinase gene family in rice and its expression under oxygen deficiency stress

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Plants possess two types of phosphofructokinase proteins for phosphorylation of fructose-6-phosphate, the ATP-dependent phosphofructokinase (PFK) and the pyrophosphate-(PPi) dependent pyrophosphate-fructose-6-phosphate-phosphotransferase (PFP).

Augmented Fibroblast Growth Factor-23 Secretion in Bone Locally Contributes to Impaired Bone Mineralization in Chronic Kidney Disease in Mice

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2018
Chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) is a systemic disorder of mineral and bone metabolism caused by CKD. Impaired bone mineralization together with increased bony secretion of fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) are hallmarks of ...

Key contributions of a glycolipid to membrane protein integration

Proceedings of the Japan Academy. Series B, Physical and Biological Sciences
Regulation of membrane protein integration involves molecular devices such as Sec-translocons or the insertase YidC. We have identified an integration-promoting factor in the inner membrane of Escherichia coli called membrane protein integrase (MPIase ...

Regulated to respond: dual localization and dynamic control of AVP1 in plant carbon partitioning

Frontiers in Plant Science
Arabidopsis Vacuolar Pyrophosphatase 1 (AVP1), a conserved type I proton-pumping pyrophosphatase (H+-PPase), was characterized as tonoplast localized with a role in acidifying the lumen and removing cytosolic pyrophosphate (PPi), a byproduct of ...

Endogenous Calcification Inhibitors in the Prevention of Vascular Calcification: A Consensus Statement From the COST Action EuroSoftCalcNet

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2019
The physicochemical deposition of calcium-phosphate in the arterial wall is prevented by calcification inhibitors. Studies in cohorts of patients with rare genetic diseases have shed light on the consequences of loss-of-function mutations for different ...
