Ribose 5-phosphate isomerase B knockdown compromises Trypanosoma brucei bloodstream form infectivity. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015
Ribose 5-phosphate isomerase is an enzyme involved in the non-oxidative branch of the pentose phosphate pathway, and catalyzes the inter-conversion of D-ribose 5-phosphate and D-ribulose 5-phosphate.

Methylation status of Dnmt1 promoter depends on poly(ADP-ribosy)lation [PDF]

, 2007
Research is focused on CpG islands and on the mechanism that poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation uses to defend the unmethylated state of these important DNA sequences which are located in the promoter regions of the housekeeping genes having a role of transcription ...

Inflammation-induced DNA damage and damage-induced inflammation: a vicious cycle [PDF]

, 2014
Inflammation is the ultimate response to the constant challenges of the immune system by microbes, irritants or injury. The inflammatory cascade initiates with the recognition of microorganism-derived pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and ...

One size does not fit all: An in vitro evaluation of the effects of bezafibrate and medroxyprogesterone acetate on human SH‐SY5Y and U‐87 MG cancer cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Drugs previously repurposed to target blood cancers reduced neuroblastoma and glioblastoma cell growth and viability. However, their levels of anticancer activity were different and their clinical application may be problematic due to side effects at effective doses.

Targeting Post‐Irradiation Thyroid Dysfunction: Electrospun Scaffolds As A Dual‐Action Approach for Antioxidant and Immune Modulation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Radiation‐induced hypothyroidism follows head and neck radiotherapy due to oxidative stress and inflammation. Electrospun polycaprolactone scaffolds containing adenosine have potential to modulate thyroid repair. Scaffolds enhance thyrocyte proliferation, antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase and catalase, reduce senescence and apoptosis markers ...

Predicting and Rationalizing Piezoelectricity in Racemic Bioorganic Molecular Crystals

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Racemic molecular crystals, composed of equal mixtures of chiral enantiomeric components, are predicted to exhibit significant piezoelectric responses and favourable mechanical flexibility. This study identifies organic and bioorganic racemates as promising candidates for sustainable, lead‐free materials, enabling next‐generation applications in energy

Splitting of the Ribose-Ribose Linkage of Poly(Adenosine Diphosphate-Ribose) by a Calf Thymus Extract

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1971
Abstract Poly(ADP-Rib) was hydrolyzed by a calf thymus nuclear preparation. The reaction products were ADP-Rib and oligo(ADP-Rib). This reaction is a novel mechanism for degradation of poly(ADP-Rib).

Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy in Bionanotechnology: Current Advances and Future Perspectives

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) enables the nanoscale mapping of electrostatic surface potentials. While widely applied in materials science, its use in biological systems remains emerging. This review presents recent advances in KPFM applied to biological samples and provides a critical perspective on current limitations and future directions for

Evaluation of melanin-targeted radiotherapy in combination with radiosensitizing drugs for the treatment of melanoma [PDF]

, 2014
The incidence of malignant melanoma is rising faster than that of any other cancer in the United States. An [131I]-labeled benzamide - [131I]MIP-1145 - selectively targets melanin, reduces melanoma tumor burden and increases survival in preclinical ...
