Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsProbiotics the Good Neighbor: Guarding the Gut Mucosal BarrierR. K. Rao, D. B. Polk, A. Seth, F. YanProblem statement: The disruption of gut barrier function plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of not only gastrointestinal diseases, but also the diseases of liver and other organs. Mucosal protective factors that preserve the gut barrier integrity are beneficial in the prevention and treatment of such diseases. Probiotics is a group of helpful bacteria that protect the gastrointestinal mucosa … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,415 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAstrocytes Store for Memory and CognitionMajid Karimi BaghmalekiIn humans, protoplasmic astrocytes are found with high density in the cortex and hippocampus (both parts responsible for memory and cognition) and each astrocyte is in contact with two million of synapses. Astrocytes are responsible for the synaptogenesis and the removal of synapses, which is the basis of learning and memory. The synaptogenesis increases sevenfold with the addition of astrocytes … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 21 Apr 2021 · 17,209 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhotoelectrochemical Corrosion of GaN/AlGaN-Based p-n StructuresAlexander Usikov, Heikki Helava, Alexey Nikiforov et al.Direct water photoelectrolysis using III-N materials is a promising way for hydrogen production. GaN/AlGaN based p-n structures were used as working electrodes in a photoelectrochemical process to investigate the material etching (corrosion). The structures were grown on sapphire substrates by chloride Hydride Vapor Phase Epitaxy (HVPE). First, the etching process occurs near vertically via channels associated with defects in the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2016 · 7,335 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHOMOLOGY MODELING AND MOLECULAR DYNAMICS STUDIES OF EC1 DOMAIN OF VE-CADHERIN TO ELUCIDATE DOCKING INTERACTION WITH CADHERIN-DERIVED PEPTIDEVivitri Dewi Prasasty, Usman Sumo Friend Tambunan, Teruna Jaya SiahaanVE-cadherin is a protein in the cadherin family that is found at the adherens junctions of the microvessel endothelial cells of the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB). It is recognized as the homotypic cell adhesion molecules and there is limited structural information on how VE-cadherins mediate cell-cell adhesion. It has been shown that the EC1 domain of cadherins is important for the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 25 Jun 2014 · 7,530 accessesView PDF Cite
