Hormetic effects of mild heat stress on the primary culture of mouse prefrontal cerebrocortical neurons

open access: yesJournal of Basic and Applied Zoology, 2020
Background Hormesis is an adaptive response of a biological system to low dose of stressors. It exerts beneficial effects to enable the cells and organisms to sustain the unfavourable conditions.

Development of catecholamine and cortisol stress responses in zebrafish. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Both adrenal catecholamines and steroids are known to be involved in the stress response, immune function, blood pressure and energy homeostasis. The response to stress is characterized by the activation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis ...

Adipocytes cause leukemia cell resistance to daunorubicin via oxidative stress response. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Adipocytes promote cancer progression and impair treatment, and have been shown to protect acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cells from chemotherapies. Here we investigate whether this protection is mediated by changes in oxidative stress.

Stress Responses in Mycobacteria [PDF]

open access: yesIUBMB Life (International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology: Life), 2005
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a successful pathogen that overcomes numerous challenges presented by the immune system of the host. This bacterium usually establishes a chronic infection in the host where it may silently persist inside a granuloma until, a failure in host defenses, leads to manifestation of the disease.

CiAPEX2 and CiP0, candidates of AP endonucleases in Ciona intestinalis, have 3′-5′ exonuclease activity and contribute to protection against oxidative stress

open access: yesGenes and Environment, 2017
Apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) sites are one of the most frequent DNA lesions. AP sites inhibit transcription and DNA replication, and induce cell death. AP endonucleases are key enzymes in AP site repair. Several types of AP endonucleases have been reported,

Investigation on the processing and improving the cleavage efficiency of furin cleavage sites in Pichia pastoris

open access: yesMicrobial Cell Factories, 2018
Background Proprotein convertase furin is responsible for the processing of a wide variety of precursors consisted of signal peptide, propeptide and mature peptide in mammal.

Effects of single- and mixed-bacterial inoculation on the colonization and assembly of endophytic communities in plant roots

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
The introduction and inoculation of beneficial bacteria in plants have consistently been considered as one of the most important ways to improve plant health and production.

Disordered eating behaviour is associated with blunted cortisol and cardiovascular reactions to acute psychological stress [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Research suggests a potential dysregulation of the stress response in individuals with bulimia nervosa. This study measured both cardiovascular and cortisol reactions to a standardised laboratory stress task in individuals identified as showing ...

The Aging Stress Response [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Cell, 2010
Aging is the outcome of a balance between damage and repair. The rate of aging and the appearance of age-related pathology are modulated by stress response and repair pathways that gradually decline, including the proteostasis and DNA damage repair networks and mitochondrial respiratory metabolism.

Prophages and Growth Dynamics Confound Experimental Results with Antibiotic-Tolerant Persister Cells

open access: yesmBio, 2017
Bacterial persisters are phenotypic variants that survive antibiotic treatment in a dormant state and can be formed by multiple pathways. We recently proposed that the second messenger (p)ppGpp drives Escherichia coli persister formation through protease
