2021-06-21
Inappropriate heme metabolism has been linked to several neuropsychiatric disorders. In the hippocampi of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients, for example, heme was found to binds intracellular amyloid β (Aβ), resulting in reduced heme bioavailability and its functional deficiency (Atamna and Frey, 20

2021-06-21
In this study we have explored a functional role of the oxysterol/EBI2 system in this process. In 2011 we and others reported the discovery of oxysterols as ligands for EBI2 [6], [7]. Oxysterols are metabolites generated by hydroxylation of cholesterol and have been linked to a variety of fundamenta

An analysis of EBI expression
2021-06-21
An analysis of EBI2 expression on dendritic cells (DCs) showed that EBI2 is highly expressed on CD4+ conventional cDCs. In line with this mice deficient for EBI2 largely lack this subset of cDCs in the spleen. Furthermore, the localization of the residual cells is disturbed [10,11]. It was found tha

2021-06-21
In normal cells, the apoptotic stimuli lower the expression level of antiapoptotic proteins by increasing turnover rate and preventing the constant degradation of proapoptotic proteins. Thus, the dysregulation of anti-/pro-apoptotic proteins will confer the survival of cancer Esomeprazole Sodium vi

Conflicts of interest Introduction G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), form the largest human membrane protein family, with 800 members overall. Many druggable targets for treatment of common diseases involve GPCRs that mediate therapeutic effects of 34% of all marketed drugs (Hauser, Attwood

The outcome of DGK function will thus depend on the binding partners of each DGK isoform, and the effects that they exert can be quite different. A clear example of this concept has been demonstrated for the type IV DGKs, ζ and ι, which are structurally very similar but have opposing effects on Ras

Introduction Robust evidence suggests that genetic factors influence an individual's susceptibility to BD (Craddock and Sklar, 2013). Yet, no single, high penetrance gene has been identified with direct causality (Craddock and Sklar, 2009). The largest GWAS to date for identifying genes conferring

Evidence for interactions between the endothelin and the angiotensin system has also become plentiful. It has become clear that the two systems, in addition to acting independently, can act synergistically (Emori et al., 1989, Imai et al., 1992) as well as promote the peptide mRNA expression in endo

We experienced difficulties in observing maturation of hESC retinas in rd1 mice even with immunosuppression, but with NOG-rd1-2J mice the transplanted hESC retinas consistently developed mature ONL with rod and cone opsins. Furthermore, graft photoreceptors show signs of developing IS/OS structures
