Taurine promotes glucagon‐like peptide‐1 secretion in enteroendocrine L cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Taurine, a sulfur‐containing amino acid, is likely taken up by enteroendocrine L cells via the taurine transporter. This process increases the levels of cytosolic ATP. The increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentrations and glucagon‐like peptide‐1 secretion through membrane depolarization is caused by the closure of ATP‐sensitive potassium channels ...

Tags on Subsets

Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics, 2003
AbstractA new definition of a tag on a subset of a finite set is given. Tags were recently defined in a joint paper of the author and J.S. Chahal. The new definition considerably simplifies the concepts further. Relationship with lexicographic ordering is much more visible.

Genre Tag . . . Tag Genre

NASKO, 2013
This paper examines genre-related tags through a social bookmarking system CiteULike. Three types of genre-related tags were identified: “is” tag indicating a genre,“for” tag for creating another genre, and “about” tag dealing with a genretopic. An analysis of the frequency and functions of genre-related tags will enable us better understand tagging as

The use of external electronic tags on fish: an evaluation of tag retention and tagging effects [PDF]

Animal Biotelemetry, 2015
External tagging of fish with electronic tags has been used for decades for a wide range of marine and freshwater species. In the early years of fish telemetry research, it was the most commonly used attachment method, but later internal implants became preferred.

Making tau amyloid models in vitro: a crucial and underestimated challenge

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review highlights the challenges of producing in vitro amyloid assemblies of the tau protein. We review how accurately the existing protocols mimic tau deposits found in the brain of patients affected with tauopathies. We discuss the important properties that should be considered when forming amyloids and the benchmarks that should be used to ...

Validation of an automated enzyme immunoassay for interleukin-6 for routine clinical use [PDF]

, 1998
Serum levels of Interleukin-6 (IL-6), a proinflammatory cytokine, are increased in early stages of inflammatory diseases such as infection and sepsis. Assay systems which permit its measurement within a few hours and as a single measurement have not been

Unraveling Mycobacterium tuberculosis acid resistance and pH homeostasis mechanisms

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis exhibits a remarkable resilience to acid stress. In this Review, we discuss some of the molecular mechanisms and metabolic pathways used by the tubercle bacilli to adapt and resist host‐mediated acid stress. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a successful pathogen that has developed a variety of strategies to survive and ...

Fate specification and tissue-specific cell cycle control of the Caenorhabditis elegans intestine [PDF]

, 2010
Coordination between cell fate specification and cell cycle control in multicellular organisms is essential to regulate cell numbers in tissues and organs during development, and its failure may lead to oncogenesis.

Refining the NaV1.7 pharmacophore of a class of venom‐derived peptide inhibitors via a combination of in silico screening and rational engineering

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Venom peptides have shown promise in treating pain. Our study uses computer screening to identify a peptide that targets a sodium channel (NaV1.7) linked to chronic pain. We produced the peptide in the laboratory and refined its design, advancing the search for innovative pain therapies.

Electromagnetic Models for Passive Tag-to-Tag Communications [PDF]

IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, 2012
The UHF passive radio frequency identification technology generally enables an asymmetric interaction between the reader and the tag, the latter only being able to respond to the query of the reader through backscattering modulation. Very recently, some experiments put into evidence the possibility to set up a tag-to-tag communication by using a simple
