Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Polysaccharide-Rich Fraction Derived from Oviductus ranae with Antioxidant and Immunomodulatory PotentialsXiaojin Yu, Xinyu Wang, Xinyu Liu et al.Oviductus ranae, an animal-based traditional Chinese medicinal material listed in Chinese Pharmacopeia is widely consumed as tonic, approximately twenty Oviductus ranae-related functional foods have been approved on the market by National Medical Products Administration in China. Proteins are well-defined bioconstituents in Oviductus ranae, little information is availabe on its polysaccharides. In present work, a Polysaccharide-Rich fraction (POR-3) was fractionated from … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 3 · 13 Sep 2020 · 6,620 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSelective Susceptibility of Human Bladder Transitional Cell Carcinoma T24 Cells towards NBD PeptideSankari Durairajan, Charles Emmanuel Jebaraj Walter, Kalaiselvi Periyandavan et al.Bladder cancer is a recurrent disease that often develops chemoresistance and is on the rise in developing countries. After diagnosis surgery followed by immunotherapy and/or chemo- radiation therapy are the available treatments. These treatments do not provide protection against disease progression or recurrence thus highlighting the need to identify and develop drugs that are capable of inhibiting bladder cancer. T24 … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 2 · 20 Apr 2020 · 7,787 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHighlight of New Phosphodiesterase 10A Inhibitors Using Molecular DockingHalla Belhoula, El Hassen Mokrani, Abderrahmane Bensegueni, Djihane BioudPhosphodiesterase 10A (PDE 10A) is an effective therapeutic approach for treatments of Schizophrenia (SCZ). In order to identify in silico new potent PDE 10A inhibitors, molecular docking approach was used. In this context, the compound S235 was predicted to exhibit a high potential PDE 10A inhibitory activity among 369 compounds tested. The predicted binding energy of this compound was improved … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 27 Feb 2020 · 6,701 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Functional Analysis of the Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Proteins in the Clawed Frogs' Genomes With Common Essential Pathways and Enriched Gene Ontology TermsWuyi LiuThe international Gene Ontology (GO) and pathway databases were used to functionally analyze the clawed frogs' Basic Helix-Loop-Helix (bHLH) transcription factors of Xenopus tropicalis and Xenopus laevis in a updated genome-wide survey. There were 41 GO terms and one pathway significantly enriched for Xenopus tropicalis, whereas there were 45 GO terms and 3 pathways significantly enriched for Xenopus laevis. Among … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 28 Mar 2019 · 8,490 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractFocalize the Structure of Myd88 in TLR Signaling Pathway to Modulate Innate Immune Response: New Target for Old DiseasesShuai Xing, Ping ZhouAll diseases have their Achilles’ Heel to target and this is especially true for immunorelated diseases which must be treated by targeting the immune system somewhere and somehow correctly. In the most recent decade, immunologists recognized that the Toll-Like Receptor (TLR) signaling pathway in innate immune system plays a double-edged role in the pathogenesis of many notorious diseases. Although the … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 6 Sep 2017 · 7,862 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractIs Rerum® the New Coley's Vaccine?Marco RuggieroColey's Vaccine and Cancer Immunotherapy Dr. William B. Coley is credited for having been the first to translate the observation of an association between bacterial infections, high fever and cancer remission into a successful cancer treatment. However, it is worth noting that such an association dates back to at least one century before Coley's times; as Wiemann and Starnes from … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 31 May 2017 · 12,281 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIs RNA Binding in the Rossmann Fold Essential for GAPDH Intranuclear Functions?Natalia Krynetskaia, Manali Phadke, Evgeny KrynetskiyIn addition to its prominent enzymatic activity, GAPDH is an enigmatic component of multiple unrelated biochemical entities. In this study, we explored a series of mutated GAPDH and fusion EGFP-GAPDH polypeptides and compared nuclear accumulation, intranuclear mobility and RNA binding properties of the wild type and variant GAPDH proteins. Our results revealed that RNA binding to T99I-mutated GAPDH with non-functional … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 14 Jun 2016 · 7,657 accessesView PDFCite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractNeutrophil Extracellular Traps as Therapeutic Targets for Inflammatory DiseaseRory R. KoenenNeutrophilic granulocytes, or neutrophils are the most abundant circulating white blood cell and constitute a first line of defense against pathogens. They are characterized by a large polymorphic lobular nucleus and the presence of many secretory granules in their cytoplasm. Neutrophils are essential for a functional host defense, as is evidenced by the occurrence of severe infections in individuals with … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 25 Feb 2015 · 8,737 accessesView PDFCite
