  Introduction In myasthenia gravis (MG), autoantibodies against the native AChR conformation cause loss of AChR at the neuromuscular junction and fatigable muscle weakness (Newsom-Davis et al., 1993). The AChR is a pentameric transmembrane protein, with two splice forms of the α-subunit, P3A− and

  As previously mentioned when hypoxia-treated cells become re-oxygenated they sustain a significant amount of DNA damage which has been attributed to the formation of reactive oxygen species . This finding represents more than just an interesting in vitro phenomenon as within a tumor, cells have been

  Resection of DNA ends The highly conserved MRN/MRX complex (Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1 in metazoan; Mre11-Rad50-Xrs2 in yeast) and the Ku70/Ku80 heterodimer (hereafter referred to as Ku) are the first protein complexes to be recruited at DSBs [6]. The presence of Ku and MRN/MRX mediates the recruitment of

  Receptor Subtypes and Their Function – Critical Appraisal Largely unselective ligands of the benzodiazepine binding site, such as diazepam, are known to elicit a wide range of in vivo effects including hypnosis, sedation, anxiolysis, and muscle relaxation. Genetically modified mice were introduced

  In spite of this, unexpectedly, after three-week cherry puree consumption no AC increase was observed, irrespective of the method used (Table 2). A statistically significant decrease of AC was even measured by LOX-FL and ORAC methods (−3.5% and −9%, respectively). Nevertheless, a much more evident d

  Introduction Active oxygen radicals in the human body have a strong effect of inducing lipid peroxidation, which in turn induces oxidative imbalance and causes various diseases. Natural polysaccharides are substances with certain antioxidant activity. They are used as antioxidants and have advant

  Plant defensins (Vriens et al., 2014) and linear AMPs (Domingues et al., 2015, Liu et al., 2008) have been shown to present several modes of action. Among these different mechanisms, permeabilization of the fungal membrane has been described as a secondary effect of plant defensin action (Vriens et

  Tetracyclines constitute one of the most important antibiotic groups used as veterinary and human medicine and as feed additives in the agricultural sector (Li et al., 2011a, Simon, 2005). Annual worldwide production of tetracyclines is estimated to be in the thousands of tons (Michalova et al., 200

  Small kinase inhibitors have been developed to block AXL by interacting with the kinase cytoplasmic ATP binding site. Up to date, no AXL selective kinase inhibitors are marketed. As depicted in , some marketed kinase inhibitors such as Bosutinib and Cabozantinib or kinase inhibitors in clinical pha

  It is reported that calpain-2 plays a critical role in BDNF-induced signaling and memory formation, and knockdown of calpain-2, but not calpain-1, completely suppresses BDNF-induced pathway activation and protein translation (Briz et al., 2013). BDNF prevents neuronal apoptosis or death (Ferrer et a
