Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSignaling Pathways Involved In Dengue-2 Virus Infection Induced RANTES OverexpressionYing-Ray Lee, Huan-Yao Lei, Shun-Hua Chen et al.Dengue viruses participate in liver inflammation by inducting the expression of various chemokines including Regulated on Activation Normal T-cell Expressed and Secreted (RANTES). However, the underlying signaling remains unknown. Here, we reveal that Ras, Raf-1 and three mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) p38, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Erk), and c-jun-NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) can be activated or phosphorylated in dengue-2 virus infected hepatocyte … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,173 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBeyond Survival: The Unique Salt Secretion and Ion Homeostasis Mechanisms in Limonium bicolor Under Salt StressLinyang Wang, Pin Chen, Shuge TianSoil salinization poses a significant threat to global agriculture. Limonium bicolor, a recretohalophyte, has evolved a unique and efficient salt tolerance mechanism centered on epidermal salt glands for secreting excess salts. This review systematically synthesizes the multilevel salt tolerance strategies in Limonium bicolor, covering the structural basis of its multicellular salt glands, the molecular regulatory networks governing their development including … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 8 Sep 2026 · 791 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegrated Analysis of Transcriptomic and Metabolomic Responses in Rice Resisting False SmutYanmin Yu, Haiying Liu, Hongtao Wu et al.Rice false smut, caused by Ustilaginoidea virens, is an important fungal disease that reduces both grain yield and quality. To dissect the molecular basis of resistance, we combined transcriptome sequencing and metabolite profiling in resistant and susceptible rice cultivars. Transcriptome sequencing revealed more than 8,500 genes with altered expression patterns after infection, while metabolite profiling detected over 700 significantly changed … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 27 Aug 2026 · 1,057 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnti-Metalloproteinase-9 Activities of Selected Indonesian Zingiberaceae Rhizome Extracts in Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Human Vascular Endothelial Cells In VitroYantiProblem statement: Atherosclerosis is associated with chronic inflammation triggered by bacterial infection that activates the breakdown of extracellular matrix protein by matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs). Zingiberaceae, a group of tropical food crops grown in Indonesia and other Southeast Asia regions, has been traditionally used for food coloring, seasoning, culinary and medicinal purposes. However, its efficacy as natural vascular protection has not … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 27 May 2011 · 7,869 accessesView PDFCite
