Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHydroxyapatite-induced Phagocytic Activity by Murine Macrophages in vitroV.K. Gopinath, M. Musa, A.R. Samsudin et al.The aim of the present study was to assess phagocytic activities of murine macrophages (RAW264.7 cell line) to hydroxyapatite (HA) particles. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) was used to assess localization of HA particles in the cells at 7, 15, 30 and 60 min. The HA particles and latex beads, as a control, were also incubated with the cells pretreated with … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,370 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the keywordsOn the Natural Intelligence and Consciousness of the Immune System and its Relationship with the BrainMarco Ruggiero, Akira HiratsukaIn this article, we consider the relationship between the brain and the immune system in the context of the Orchestrated Objective Reduction (Orch OR) theory of consciousness. Orch OR is a theory that postulates that consciousness arises from quantum computations occurring inside microtubules. The immune system is capable of acquiring, learning, and remembering information, thus showing all the attributes of … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 17 Apr 2024 · 11,431 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFerulic Acid in Chinese Herbal Medicine: Regulating Autophagy for Oxidative Damage ReductionZhiyuan Lv, Qiaozhen Zhao, Shanbin Chen et al.Ferulic Acid (FA) is the primary functional component in herbal plants and traditional fermented foods. To comprehend the mechanism of action of ferulic acid, in terms of its regulation of autophagy, antioxidants and the inhibition of inflammatory pathways, the study was conducted. Oxidatively damaged human-derived hepatocytes were treated with FA and the processing concentration of FA is from 50-800 μm. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 1 Jun 2024 · 5,483 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Pre-Slaughter Autophagic Status on Postmortem Proteolysis in Skeletal Muscle of MiceTomonori Nakanishi, Miho Yamashita, Naoto Nishimoto et al.Post mortem proteolysis is a key event during the aging process, where muscle converts to meat. However, its precise mechanism remains unclear. In this study, the effects of pre-slaughter autophagic status on post mortem proteolysis were investigated using mouse skeletal muscle. Mice were fasted for 14 h and administered with or without the autophagy inhibitor wortmannin, whereas control mice were … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 10 Jul 2017 · 7,988 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Silencing of Septin 1 via Synthetic siRNAs in Schizosaccharomyces pombeSemih Ekimler, Merve Yilmazer, Ercan AricanSeptins are evolutionary conserved GTP-binding proteins and form heterooligomers in cells to interact with cytoskeleton. The main roles of septins in cell are cytokines, membrane interactions, vesicle trafficking and microtubule and actin organization. Non-coding RNAs are key players of gene expression regulation. Small-interfering RNAs (siRNAs) belong to non-coding RNAs, are characterized by sequence complementarity to their target mRNAs. siRNAs silence … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2017 · 7,237 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysics Models of Pronuclear Movements in EggsKang Cheng, Changhua ZouBased on published experimental data, Newton's laws, and Coulomb's law, we investigate natural and normal pronuclear movements in wild types of eggs and develop physics models to fit the experimental data quantitatively. The difference between our modeling calculated results and the experimental data is less than 20%. Our models explain why and how pronuclei move in even or in variant … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,743 accessesView PDFCite
