Synthetic Toll-Like Receptors for Control of Innate Immunity With Far-Red Light. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)Synthetic Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) are engineered by replacing their natural sensing regions with a far‐red‐light‐responsive module from a bacterial phytochrome. These synthetic receptors enable light‐controlled regulation of immune signaling in mammalian cells.

Nicotinamide inhibits melanoma in vitro and in vivo
Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research, 2020 Background Even though new therapies are available against melanoma, novel approaches are needed to overcome resistance and high-toxicity issues. In the present study the anti-melanoma activity of Nicotinamide (NAM), the amide form of Niacin, was ...

Multiple P2Y receptors couple to calcium-dependent, chloride channels in smooth muscle cells of the rat pulmonary artery [PDF]
, 2005 Uridine 5'-triphosphate (UTP) and uridine 5'-diphosphate (UDP) act via P2Y receptors to evoke contraction of rat pulmonary arteries, whilst adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) acts via P2X and P2Y receptors.

Semaphorin 7A is protective during inflammatory peritonitis through integrin receptor signaling
Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 IntroductionThe study explores the role of endothelial Semaphorin 7A (SEMA7A) in inflammatory processes. SEMA7A is known for enhancing inflammation during tissue hypoxia and exhibiting anti-inflammatory properties in the intestinal system during colitis.

Characterization of Recombinant Extracellular Domain of Human Interleukin-10 Receptor [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1995 The extracellular region of the human interleukin-10 (hIL-10) receptor was expressed using a myeloma cell line and was purified to homogeneity by ligand-affinity chromatography. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis indicated that the soluble receptor is glycosylated and has an apparent molecular mass of 35,000-45,000. Under native conditions,
