Regulation of 11β-HSD1 reductase and the HPA axis by long-snake moxibustion in kidney-yang deficiency rats

Heliyon
Background: Long-snake moxibustion can improve hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis function in patients with kidney-yang deficiency (KYDS). 11β-HSD1 controls the HPA axis by boosting CORT production via reductase activity.

An atomic-resolution view of neofunctionalization in the evolution of apicomplexan lactate dehydrogenases

eLife, 2014
Malate and lactate dehydrogenases (MDH and LDH) are homologous, core metabolic enzymes that share a fold and catalytic mechanism yet possess strict specificity for their substrates.

Utility of Computed Tomography Surveillance of Asymptomatic Infection in Children and Young Adults Before Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Asymptomatic infection poses a significant risk for children undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Pre‐transplant surveillance computed tomography (CT) is commonly used to identify occult infection, though its diagnostic yield remains uncertain.

Bottom-up and top-down influences at untrained conditions determine perceptual learning specificity and transfer

eLife, 2016
Perceptual learning is often orientation and location specific, which may indicate neuronal plasticity in early visual areas. However, learning specificity diminishes with additional exposure of the transfer orientation or location via irrelevant tasks ...

Specificity Distinctions

Journal of Semantics, 2001
This paper is concerned with semantic noun phrase typology, focusing on the question of how to draw fine-grained distinctions necessary for an accurate account of natural language phenomena. In the extensive literature on this topic, the most commonly encountered parameters of classification concern the semantic type of the denotation of the noun ...

Unheard and Under‐Supported: Health‐Related Quality of Life in Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults With Sickle Cell Disease

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an autosomal recessive hemoglobinopathy affecting millions of individuals worldwide. The clinical expression and psychosocial burden of SCD vary widely across geographical, cultural, and healthcare system contexts, underscoring the need for setting‐specific approaches to assessment.

Selective ubiquitination of drug-like small molecules by the ubiquitin ligase HUWE1

Nature Communications
The ubiquitin system regulates eukaryotic physiology by modifying myriad substrate proteins. Substrate specificity and the assembly of ubiquitin signals are determined by ubiquitin ligases, some of which also modify non-protein biomolecules.
