Dynamic hydration valve controlled ion permeability and stability of NaK channel
The K+, Na+, Ca2+ channels are essential to neural signalling, but our current knowledge at atomic level is mainly limited to that of K+ channels. Unlike a K+ channel having four equivale…

Molecular implications of prolonged aggression experience: Th, Dat1, Snca and Bdnf gene expression in the ventral tegmental area of the victorious male mice
Th, Dat1, Snca and Bdnf were the genes whose mRNA levels in the ventral tegmental area of the midbrain were measured in male mice that were victorious in 20 daily agonistic interactions and in a gr…

The effects of anti-sense interleukin-5 gene transferred by recombinant adeno-associated virus in allergic rats
The accumulation and infiltration of eosinophils in airways is one of the most important characteristics of asthma, and is mediated partly by secretion of IL-5 from Th2 lymphocytes. It is well know…

Shelling the Voronoi interface of protein-protein complexes predicts residue activity and conservation
The accurate description and analysis of protein-protein interfaces remains a challenging task. Traditional definitions, based on atomic contacts or changes in solvent accessibility, tend to over- ...

THE EFFECT OF HEPARIN ON THE CELL CYCLE IN HUMAN B-LYMPHOBLASTS: AN IN VITRO STUDY
Heparin has an apoptotic effect in addition to its anticoagulant, anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive, and antiproliferative effects. In this study, we detected the effect of heparin on the cell cy…

Structural basis of the allosteric trigger of the Hsp70 chaperone proteins.
This work solves a decades-old dilemma that stood in the way of understanding the allosteric mechanism of Hsp70 (heat shock 70 kDa) chaperone proteins. Hsp70s are central to protein folding, refold…

Pancreas islets in metabolic signaling – focus on the β-cell
Taken together the Islets of Langerhans form a nutrient sensing network spread throughout the pancreas. They are tightly connected to the source organ – the intestine – and the target organs – live…
