ReceptorsThe body’s physiology during physical injuries and diseases depends heavily on the function of acute inflammation. On the other hand, many variables, including iatrogenic, immune system deficiencies, lifestyle, and social and environmental factors, are ...

Somatic loss of estrogen receptor beta and p53 synergize to induce breast tumorigenesis
Breast Cancer Research, 2017 Background Upregulation of estrogen receptor beta (ERβ) in breast cancer cells is associated with epithelial maintenance, decreased proliferation and invasion, and a reduction in the expression of the receptor has been observed in invasive breast tumors.

Identification of PLXDC1 and PLXDC2 as the transmembrane receptors for the multifunctional factor PEDF. [PDF]
, 2014 Pigment Epithelium Derived Factor (PEDF) is a secreted factor that has broad biological activities. It was first identified as a neurotrophic factor and later as the most potent natural antiangiogenic factor, a stem cell niche factor, and an inhibitor of

Evolutionary interplay between viruses and R‐loops
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Viruses interact with specialized nucleic acid structures called R‐loops to influence host transcription, epigenetic states, latency, and immune evasion. This Perspective examines the roles of R‐loops in viral replication, integration, and silencing, and how viruses co‐opt or avoid these structures.

Unraveling the Role of CHRNA6, the Neuronal α6 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Subunit
ReceptorsThe increased prevalence of electronic cigarettes, particularly among adolescents, has escalated concerns about nicotine addiction. Nicotine, a potent psychostimulant found in tobacco products, exerts its effects by interacting with nicotinic ...

Interaction of the Xanthine Nucleotide Binding Goα Mutant with G Protein-coupled Receptors [PDF]
, 1998 We constructed a double mutant version of the α subunit of Go that was regulated by xanthine nucleotides instead of guanine nucleotides (GoαX). We investigated the interaction between GoαX and G protein-coupled receptors in vitro.

Purification tags markedly affect self‐aggregation of CPEB3
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Although recombinant proteins are used to study protein aggregation in vitro, uncleaved tags can interfere with accurate interpretation. Our findings demonstrate that His₆‐GFP and His₁₂ tags significantly affect liquid droplet and amyloid fibril formation in the intrinsically disordered region (IDR) of mouse cytoplasmic polyadenylation element‐binding ...

ReceptorsOdorant receptors (ORs) constitute the largest family of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), with nearly 400 receptors identified in humans. The “omics” era has revealed an unexpected expression of ORs beyond olfactory tissues.

Drosophila olfactory receptors as classifiers for volatiles from disparate real world applications [PDF]
, 2014 Olfactory receptors evolved to provide animals with ecologically and behaviourally relevant information. The resulting extreme sensitivity and discrimination has proven useful to humans, who have therefore co-opted some animals' sense of smell.

Circulating histones as clinical biomarkers in critically ill conditions
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Circulating histones are emerging as promising biomarkers in critical illness due to their diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic potential. Detection methods such as ELISA and mass spectrometry provide reliable approaches for quantifying histone levels in plasma samples.
