Review ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleRole of Cytokines and Transcription Factors in Periodontitis: A Review of Cellular and Molecular MechanismsAnne Carolina Eleutério Leite, Valéria Martins de Araújo Carneiro, Júlia Faria Nunes et al.Periodontal Diseases (PD) are characterized by pathological manifestation of host immune response to bacterial infection at the tooth/gingival interface. Evidences points periodontitis as a risk factor for pathological systemic conditions, such as, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. The identification of host factors that determine their susceptibility to immune subversion can provide useful information in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. Protective acute inflammatory … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 9 Dec 2015 · 7,809 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titlePDX-1 and MafA: Key Transcription Factors in PancreasHideaki Kaneto, Takeshi Miyatsuka, Yoshihisa Nakatani, Taka-aki MatsuokaPancreatic and duodenal homeobox factor-1 (PDX-1) plays a crucial role in pancreas development, β-cell differentiation and in maintaining normal β-cell function by regulating several β-cell-related genes including insulin. PDX-1 has potency to induce insulin-producing cells in non β-cells in various tissues such as pancreas and liver and PDX-1-VP16 fusion protein more efficiently induces insulin-producing cells, especially in the presence of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,391 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRole of Cardioprotective Diet in Acute Coronary SyndromeR. B. Singh, Suniti Dharwadkar, Fabien DeMeester et al.Problem statement: Nutritional factors appear to be quite important in the pathogenesis and prognosis among patients of Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) or Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). Increased consumption of proinflammatory foods; such as refined starches and sugar, trans fat, saturated fat and w-6 fatty acids may increase proinflammatory cytokines, oxidative stress and free fatty acids causing endothelial dysfunction. Approach: Columbus … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 15 Oct 2011 · 7,463 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCocaine: A Catalyst for Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Associated DementiaNavneet K. Dhillon, Milind Gadgil, Andy Rahardja et al.Injection drug use has been recognized as a major risk factor for AIDS from the outset of the epidemic. Cocaine, one of the most widely abused drugs in the United States can both impair the functions of macrophages and CD4+ lymphocytes and also activate HIV-1 expression in these cells. Cocaine is a multifactorial agent that acts globally to impair the … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,590 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 · 807 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 · 1,071 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInverse Correlation Between α-Klotho and Diabetic Biomarkers in Type 2 Diabetes: A Cross-Sectional StudyYaser A.M Sulaiman, Moayad M. Al Anzy, Omeed Akbar Ali, Adnan M. IsmailEvidence suggests a link between diabetes and Klotho protein, demonstrated by reduced Klotho gene expression in individuals with diabetes, α- klotho the potential modulator of kidney health in DM. Klotho is primarily expressed in the kidneys and has an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant role, which may protect against the pathological processes that damage renal function in diabetes.

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFrom Health to Disease: Functional Insights of Scavenger Receptor Class B Type I in Lipid Metabolism and Disease PathogenesisSujina Simon Sailet, Poornima Ajay Manjrekar, Santosh Rai et al.Scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-B1) has caught considerable interest among the scientific community due to its pivotal role in several biological and pathological processes. It is a multifunctional integral membrane protein and multiligand receptor encoded by the SCARB1 gene. SR-B1 has a wide distribution, primarily in the liver as well as steroidogenic organs including the gonads and adrenal … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 3 · 11 Jul 2025 · 3,672 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMomordica balsamina Fruit Extracts Enhances Selected Aspects of the Insulin Synthesis/Secretion PathwayAnanias Hodi Kgopa, Leshweni Jerry Shai, Motetelo Alfred MogalePrevious studies have suggested that crude plant extracts of the anti-diabetic medicinal plant, Momordica balsamina (MB) may exert their anti-diabetic effect through either enhancement of insulin sensitivity or inhibition of intestinal glucose absorption. However, the effects of these MB extracts on insulin synthesis and secretion are not well documented in the literature. Therefore, a main purpose of the current research … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 17 Dec 2020 · 7,003 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractEditorial Commentary: Challenge of Non–AIDS-Defining Cancers (NADCs), Focusing on Trans Activation Response Element (TAR) RNA Embedding ExosomesLechuang Chen, Ge JinGlobally, 37.9 million people were living with HIV at the end of 2018 (Organization, 2018). Cancer is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in AIDS patients and chronically HIV-infected people. With the aid of combination Antiretroviral Therapy (ART), people living with HIV (PLWH) have a longer life span. However, because the virus is not completely eradicated, PLWH under antiretroviral … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 28 Nov 2019 · 6,662 accessesView PDFCite
