Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiphenylhydantoin Promotes Proliferation in The Subventricular Zone and Dentate GyrusAlma Y. Galvez-Contreras, Rocio E. Gonzalez-Castaneda, Sonia Luquin et al.Problem statement: Diphenylhydantoin (phenytoin) is an antiepileptic drug that generates hyperplasia in some tissue by stimulating Epidermal Growth Factor (EGFR) and Platelet-Derived Growth Factor beta (PDGFR-β) receptors and by increasing serum levels of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF, FGF2 or FGF-β). Neural stem cells in the adult brain have been isolated from three regions: the Subventricular Zone (SVZ) lining the … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 6 Mar 2012 · 9,135 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Iron Deficiency among Human Immunodeficiency Virus Sero PositivesM. A. Pradeep, M. Thiruvalluvan, K. Aarthy, J. M. MaryProblem statement: Iron is an important dietary mineral and involves in various body functions. In humans, iron is an essential component of proteins involved in oxygen transport. It is also essential for the regulation of cell growth and differentiation. Iron and its binding protein have immune regulatory properties and shifting of immune regulatory balances by iron excess or deficiency may … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,020 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntrinsically Unstructured Proteins: Potential Targets for Drug DiscoveryPathan Salma, Chintan Chhatbar, Sriram SeshadriProblem statement: The function of a protein is dependent on its three-dimensional structure. However, numerous proteins lacking intrinsic globular 3D structure under physiological conditions had been recognized. These proteins are frequently involved in some of the most critical cellular control mechanisms and it appears that their rapid turnover, aided by their unstructured nature in the unbound state, provides a level … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,578 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrediction of a Putative Functional Region in the Human Bax Protein by Computational AnalysisMaría Sánchez-Aguilar, Laurence A. Marchat, Absalom ZamoranoStructural domains are relevant elements for interactions between Bcl-2 family members to regulate apoptosis and cell survival. Although BH1-BH4 domains can be identified by their sequence and selective occurrence in Bcl-2-family members, structural regions have not been entirely determined yet. The functional residues of Bax, the most representative pro-apoptotic protein of the human Bcl-2 family, remain almost unknown. Here, we … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,230 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCoronary Heart Disease (CHD) Risk Factors and Metabolic Syndrome in HIV-Positive Drug Users in MiamiMarianna K Baum, Carlin Rafie, Shenghan Lai et al.The frequency of coronary heart disease (CHD) is increasing among HIV seropositive persons. This phenomenon may be related to HIV disease itself, the use of antiretroviral medications and increased length of survival, or the synergism of these factors. In this study we have calculated the 10-year CHD risk estimate and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in a cohort of 118 … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,989 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRole of Cytokines in the Regulation of Glioma Tumour Growth and AngiogenesisChristina Piperi, Athanasios Zisakis, Robert W. Lea, Anastasios KalofoutisMalignant glioblastomas are the most common type of primary brain tumors accounting for more than 50% of all intracranial gliomas. Due to their aggressive nature, recurrent growth, and their extremely poor prognosis for survival, research approaches have made little progress in advancing treatment of these tumours which have the ability of both modulating host immune function and neutralizing immune-based therapies. … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,868 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDrug-Protein Interactions for Clinical Research by Nucleic Acid Programmable Protein Arrays-Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation Factor Monitoring Nanoconductometric AssayClaudio Nicolini, Rosanna Spera, Nicola Luigi Bragazzi, Eugenia PechkovaConductometric monitoring of drug-gene and drug-protein interactions is of fundamental importance in the field of molecular pharmacology. Here, we present our main findings and characterizations of an important antiblastic used in neuro-oncology (Temozolomide), interacting with selected proteins that represent predictive biomarkers of the rate survival of the patients, of the outcome of chemotherapy and resistance to drug itself (namely, BRIP1 … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 17 Nov 2014 · 8,506 accessesView PDFCite
