- Abstract:
- ... The tuberous sclerosis complex 1 (TSC1) is a critical upstream regulator of autophagy. Nevertheless, the detailed molecular mechanism of TSC1 and its function in crustacean are still not well understood. In the present study, TSC1 was identified and characterized from Penaeus vannamei. Molecular feature analysis revealed that the open reading frame (ORF) of PvTSC1 was 3516 bp encoding a polypeptid ...

- Abstract:
- ... Previously we demonstrated that 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) suppressed experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a model to study multiple sclerosis (MS), through induction of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and suppression of effector T cell function in the spleen. Since B cells and specifically regulatory B cells (Bregs) have been shown to be so critical in the pathology associa ...

- Abstract:

The concept of B-cell regulation became well recognized when mice deficient in B cells due to genetic disruption were shown to be refractory to recovery from the signs of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), the mouse mod ...

- Abstract:

Although their frequency is low, PB/PCs can be found in all lymphoid organs including peripheral lymph nodes and spleen. Upon immunization, depending on the location of where B cells encounter their antigen, PB/PCs subsequen ...

- Abstract:

Several earlier studies have shown that monomeric apo SOD1 undergoes significant local unfolding dynamics and is the predecessor for aggregation. Here, we have employed atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to study the structure and dynamics of mon ...

NG2 immunopositive progenitor cells, also simply termed as NG2 glia and thought mainly to be oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs), form synaptic connections with neurons in gray and white matters of brain. One of the most classical features of oligodendrocyte lineage cells is myelination, which will favor neuronal signaling transmission. Thus, is there a causal link between the specific synapses ...

- Abstract:
- ... About 20% of all familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) cases are associated with mutations in superoxide dismutase (SOD1), a homodimeric protein. The disease has an autosomal-dominant inheritance pattern. It is, therefore, important to determine whether wild-type and mutant SOD1 subunits self-associate randomly or preferentially. A measure for the extent of bias in subunit association is th ...

We previously determined the amyloidogenic core region of TDP-43 (residues 311–360) and show ...
