The detection of nuclear matrix in most primitive present- existing eukaryote, Giardia lamblia
The nuclear matrix of diplomonad Giardia lambBa was detected for the first time with DGD embedment-sectioning-embedment free electron microscopy after a series of specific extractions. The result showed that a...

Embedded together: The life and death consequences of interaction of the Bcl-2 family with membranes
Permeabilization of the outer mitochondrial membrane is the point of no return in most programmed cell deaths. This critical step is mainly regulated by the various protein-protein and protein-membrane interac...

Article
Up-regulation of Bcl-2 is required for the progression of prostate cancer cells from an androgen-dependent to an androgen-independent growth stage
Bcl-2 is an anti-apoptotic oncoprotein and its protein levels are inversely correlated with prognosis in many cancers. However, the role of Bcl-2 in the progression of prostate cancer is not clear. Here we rep...

Article
Proteasomal degradation unleashes the pro-death activity of androgen receptor
Androgen receptor (AR) is able to promote stress-induced cell death independently of its transcription activity in androgen-independent prostate cancer cells. Yet, the underlying mechanism is incompletely unde...

Article
Open AccessHyaluronan synthase mediates dye translocation across liposomal membranes
Hyaluronan (HA) is made at the plasma membrane and secreted into the extracellular medium or matrix by phospolipid-dependent hyaluronan synthase (HAS), which is active as a monomer. Since the mechanism by whic...

Article
Open AccessMicroglial activation induced by brain trauma is suppressed by post-injury treatment with a PARP inhibitor
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) induces activation of microglia. Activated microglia can in turn increase secondary injury and impair recovery. This innate immune response requires hours to days to become fully m...

Article
Open AccessThe cytokine tumor necrosis factor-like weak inducer of apoptosis and its receptor fibroblast growth factor-inducible 14 have a neuroprotective effect in the central nervous system
Cerebral cortical neurons have a high vulnerability to the harmful effects of hypoxia. However, the brain has the ability to detect and accommodate to hypoxic conditions. This phenomenon, known as precondition...

Article
Open AccessGenomic survey, expression profile and co-expression network analysis of OsWD40 family in rice
WD40 proteins represent a large family in eukaryotes, which have been involved in a broad spectrum of crucial functions. Systematic characterization and co-expression analysis of OsWD40 genes enable us to underst...

Membrane-Based Continuous Remover of Trifluoroacetic Acid in Mobile Phase for LC-ESI-MS Analysis of Small Molecules and Proteins
We developed a “continuous” trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) remover based on electrodialysis with bipolar membrane for online coupling of liquid chromatography (LC) and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ES...

Open AccessRecurrent/moderate hypoglycemia induces hippocampal dendritic injury, microglial activation, and cognitive impairment in diabetic rats
Recurrent/moderate (R/M) hypoglycemia is common in type 1 diabetes. Although mild or moderate hypoglycemia is not life-threatening, if recurrent, it may cause cognitive impairment. In the present study, we sou...

Article
Open AccessPrevention of hypoglycemia-induced neuronal death by minocycline
Diabetic patients who attempt strict management of blood glucose levels frequently experience hypoglycemia. Severe and prolonged hypoglycemia causes neuronal death and cognitive impairment. There is no effecti...

Article
Open AccessEffects of exogenous enzymes and dietary energy on performance and digestive physiology of broilers
The study was conducted to compare the effects of XG with AG and BM at different metabolizable energy diets on growth performance, digestive physiology and energy utilization of broilers fed with corn-SBM diet...
