  Introduction Maintaining the normal function of fetal trophoblasts is essential for a successful pregnancy. Preeclampsia (PE), a pregnancy-specific disorder, is often associated with excessive trophoblast cell apoptosis and superficial trophoblast invasion leading to insufficient spiral artery re

  EphB4 as a therapeutic target in cancer Eph receptors and ephrins are promising new therapeutic targets in cancer. Various strategies have been employed to evaluate the interference of tumor-promoting effects or the enhancement of tumor suppressive effects. The inhibition of the Eph-ephrin system

  Introduction Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) signals through 4 separate G-protein coupled receptor sub-types (EP1, EP2, EP3 and EP4) to elicit a variety of physiological and pathophysiologic effects. EP2 and EP4 increase cAMP levels in the cell via adenylate cyclase activation, whereas EP3 inhibits cAMP

  The endothelin receptor type B (EDNRB) belongs to the family of G protein-coupled receptors, which functions as a vital regulatory factor in signal transduction in cells, locating on human chromosome 13q22.3 (Ayala-Valdovinos et al., 2016; Bregar et al., 2018; Morimoto et al., 2018; Widowati et al.,

  ELUXA 1 (HM-EMSI-202) is an ongoing pivotal Phase II global clinical trial, designed to further investigate the efficacy and safety of Olmutinib in patients T790M-positive NSCLC with acquired resistance after first-line EGFR TKIs. Primary endpoint is ORR according to RECIST 1.1, while secondary endp

  2021-04-21

  

  Introduction Activation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) is a key factor in the progression of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). EGFR-RTKs cause proliferation, invasion, metastasis, and angiogenesis, as well as suppress apoptosis, in lung adenocarcinoma

  We propose two different pathways for the production of this species: either that described by Dooley [24], where the phenol ring is first activated by binding of its oxygen to copper, or one where a copper-peroxo species would directly react with an active site tyrosine residue (Scheme 1B). This se

  Introduction Collagen deposition is a common feature found in cancerous tissues and fibrotic organs/lesions. It is now well accepted that collagen deposition is not just a consequence of disease, but that it can also trigger a vicious cycle. Both chemical and physical signals elicited from collagen

  Acknowledgments Introduction Understanding the characteristics of the Amazonian Dark soils “Terras Pretas de Índio” (TPIs) is of ecological importance, because the TPI soils represent a residue-based model for tropical sustainable agriculture (Sombroek et al., 2003, Neves et al., 2003, Cohen-

  Programmed cell death via apoptosis is associated with a series of morphological and biochemical characteristics, including cell shrinkage, the rapid increase of intracellular calcium, nuclear condensation, DNA fragmentation and the formation of apoptotic bodies.

  Thy1.1 nephritis is one of the most commonly used models to study the course of immunoglobulin A and other mesangioproliferative nephropathies. To date, most of the studies have focused on mesangial and, to a lesser extent, endothelial cell recovery following capillary damage, whereas data concern

  For the current studies, we used the selective Epac agonist 8CPT-AM to directly activate the proteins. We chose this pharmacological approach since it allows a direct activation of Epacs rather than using receptor agonists such as PGE2 which could introduce confounding variables. One potential conce

  Initial investigations in the heart uncovered Epac as a positive regulator of myocyte hypertrophy [8], [9]. Concomitantly, Epac has been shown to regulate cardiac Ca homeostasis [8], [10], [11], [12], [13]. Ca is an essential second messenger in the cardiac physiology because its rhythmic variations
