Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVLDL in Atherosclerosis: Variety of Mechanistic ImplicationsAnastasia Vladimirovna Poznyak, Victor Yurievich Glanz, Vasily Nikolaevich Sukhorukov et al.Very-Low-Density Lipoprotein (VLDL) particles play a pivotal role as precursors for Intermediate-Density Lipoprotein (IDL) and eventually transform into Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL). These particles have been categorized based on size and particle charge. Various types of VLDL impact diverse physiological processes in the human body. The accumulation of VLDL, along with other triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, significantly contributes to the development of atherosclerotic … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 4 · 29 Jul 2024 · 4,308 accessesView PDF Cite

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 PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractANTIOBESITY EFFECTS OF HUMAN SOLUBLE LEPTIN IN MICE NOURISHED WITH A HIGH-FAT/HIGH FRUCTOSE DIETB. Chimal-Vega, N. Paniagua-Castro, J. C. Perez-Rebollar et al.Leptin is a hormone that regulates energy balance. Since its discovery two decades ago, several efforts have been made to fully understand its role in metabolic regulation of feeding behavior, reproduction, glucose homeostasis, immune function, bone formation, lipid metabolism, among others. Its use as a therapeutic option in obese patients is still limited due to the syndrome known as Leptin … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 9 Jul 2014 · 7,386 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficient Anaerobic Fermentation of Simple Sugars by Yeast Fuels Resistance Candida spp. Infections to Eradication by DrugsNedosa Ikenna Valentine, Utoh-Nedosa Uchechukwu Anastasia, Dan Danjuma et al.Problem statement: Human systemic Candida infections had proved difficult to eradicate by the medical health care system. Some practitioners and scholars see the problem as being due to drug resistance. For example an author wrote that ‘secondary drug resistance is clearly being encountered in one setting, oropharyngeal candidiasis in patients with advanced Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection usually … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 10 Dec 2011 · 7,836 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTribochemical Performance of Cell-treated Nickel MatrixBing Shi, Thomas B. Kuhn, Hong Liang, Lawrence K. DuffyNickel (Ni) has been studied as a biomaterial for a long time because of the unique mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. In this study, the frictional properties and wettability of Ni under dry and lubricated conditions, including cell treatment, were compared in order to investigate its tribological performance under conditions similar to that in a human body. The wettability was … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,477 accessesView PDF Cite
