  The top concern for the clinical use of CRISPR-Cas9 technology is safety. Off-target alterations must be avoided to ensure genome integrity and proper cellular function. WGS found no off-target effects among the top 49 predicted off-target sites. WGS did find 4,658 indels and 1,891 SNVs in sgRNA1/2-

  The in vivo biological activity of the four novel analogues was then systematically assessed in three animal models including normal control, high fat fed and ob/ob mice. As expected from earlier in vitro studies, all four glucagon receptor antagonists had minor effects on glucose or insulin concent

  2021-09-24

  

  In the liver, ghrelin has opposite effects to insulin on the expression of the enzyme PEPCK, thereby promoting gluconeogenesis and also causing a decrease in glucose uptake and fatty 2×Taq PCR Master Mix(with dye) oxidation (Rigault et al., 2007). Ghrelin also stimulates hepatic lipogenesis de novo

  2021-09-24

  

  ETV5 plays an important role in tumorigenesis and metastasis. For example, chromosomal rearrangement of ETV5 which results in increased ETV5 level is believed as a common event driving human prostate cancer (Helgeson et al., 2008; Huang and Waknitz, 2009). Ghrelin/acyl-ghrelin also plays an importan

  One way to approach this unifying hypothesis will be to compare the effects of the PBR/VDAC ligands on these processes. Recent studies have demonstrated that the three ligands of peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor, i.e. PK 11195, Ro5-4864 and diazepam reduce membrane transport and conductance i

  The normal function of the FBPase enzyme is to catalyze the hydrolysis of F1,6BP to F6P. This activity is induced by diabetes and starvation and is increased in diabetic rats. The level of FBPase can be normalized by insulin, however, similar information is not available from diabetic patients. FBPa

  In various models, histamine has been shown to induce chemotaxis. This was first appreciated over 40 years’ ago in studies with eosinophils (Clark et al., 1977). At that time, only histamine H1 and histamine H2 receptors were recognized and studies with ligands to these receptors indicated that neit

  Conclusion Interactions between neurons and astrocytes depend on the spatial configuration of their contacts. Therefore, changes of astrocyte morphology may impact various physiological mechanisms ranging from glutamate uptake and potassium homeostasis to modulation of synaptic transmission and p

  On the basis of the structure of the Rab35/ACAP2 complex, the authors identified Thr76 in switch II of Rab35 as one key specificity determinant (Lin et al., 2019). The crystal structure shows that the hydroxyl group of Thr76 forms a 4-Aminobutyric acid with Asp756 in ACAP2, while the methyl group i

  Using embelin and its analogs as surrogate GPR84 agonists we discovered that GPR84 couples to G12 and G13 signaling pathways in addition to Gi, linking receptor function to Rho/Rac signaling and modulation of the cytoskeleton. In primary human macrophages, GPR84 activation leads to Gβγ signaling, Er

  Even though for almost 30 years GnRH was considered the main neuropeptide regulating gonadotropin release in vertebrates, Tsutsui et al. (2000) discovered, in the Japanese quail, Coturnix japonica, a hypothalamic neuropeptide that directly inhibits gonadotropin release, and thus named as gonadotropi

  Extending the issue of the species differences, the role of neuroestradiol in the preovulatory GnRH/LH surge might be specific to primates or species with a luteal phase. For example, animals with a true luteal phase, such as monkeys and sheep, exhibit a long preovulatory GnRH surge, lasting well af

  STAR★Methods Introduction Glycosylation is one of the most prevalent post-translational modifications of proteins. It not only plays major roles in folding, transport and localization of proteins [1], but also regulates various biological processes such as cell growth, viral replication and im

  The GlyR is pentameric, with each subunit consisting of an extracellular ligand binding domain (LBD), four transmembrane (TM) segments, and a large intracellular loop between TM3 and TM4. Binding of neurotransmitter produces conformational changes that are rapidly transmitted to the membrane-spannin
