The peeled Pinellia ternata (Thunb.) Breit tubers were dried with the microwave vacuum drying oven. Then, its drying characteristics, contents of nucleosides, and surface microstructural alterations of dried samples were determined, respectively. Drying parameters were predicted and optimized using four different mathematical models and artificial ...

Viral Reprogramming of Nucleotide Synthesis and Its Impact on Viral Infection
ABSTRACT Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA and RNA. They also play essential roles in various other biological processes, including protein glycosylation, ribosome biogenesis, and cytoskeletal function. The significance of the regulation of nucleotide metabolism has recently gained more attention in many physiological and pathological contexts,

Expression of Thymidine Phosphorylase in Human Gastric Carcinoma [PDF]
The activity of thymidine phosphorylase (dThdPase) has heen reported to increase in several types of malignant tumors. Experimental evidence has shown that dThdPase is identical to platelet‐derived endothelial cell growth factor, and that dThdPase has angiogenic activity.

Astrocyte in Neurological Disease: Pathogenesis and Therapy
This review provides comprehensive overview of astrocytes in neurological disorders. Astrocytes contribute to neurological disorders via A1/A2 polarization, inducing neuroinflammation, synaptic, and BBB dysfunction. Metabolic disturbances in glucose, lipid, and amino acid pathways leading to oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage.

Identification of aspartic acid-203 in human thymidine phosphorylase as an important residue for both catalysis and non-competitive inhibition by the small molecule "crystallization chaperone" 5'-O-tritylinosine (KIN59) [PDF]
Thymidine phosphorylase (TP) is a catabolic enzyme in thymidine metabolism that is frequently upregulated in many solid tumors. Elevated TP levels are associated with tumor angiogenesis, metastasis and poor prognosis.

5-Fluorouracil degradation rate as a predictive biomarker of toxicity in breast cancer patients treated with capecitabine [PDF]
Capecitabine is an oral prodrug of 5-fluorouracil with a relevant role in the treatment of breast cancer. Severe and unexpected toxicities related to capecitabine are not rare, and the identification of biomarkers is challenging.

Therapies for Mitochondrial Disease: Past, Present, and Future
ABSTRACT Mitochondrial disease is a diverse group of clinically and genetically complex disorders caused by pathogenic variants in nuclear or mitochondrial DNA‐encoded genes that disrupt mitochondrial energy production or other important mitochondrial pathways. Mitochondrial disease can present with a wide spectrum of clinical features and can often be
