Targeted Regulation Of Cgrp Gene Expression by A. F. Russo, P. L. Durham

“…Interestingly, the 5-HT1 migraine drugs are able to block this up-regulation by a mechanism that involves a very prolonged elevation of calcium. We have shown that the duration of the calcium signal is a key determinant for whether a MAP kinase responsive gene will be stimulated or repressed by calcium-activated pathways. …”

Iron triggers TvPI4P5K proteostasis and Arf-mediated cell membrane trafficking to regulate PIP2 signaling crucial for multiple pathogenic activities of the parasitic protozoan Tric... by Kuan-Yi Wu, Yen-Ju Chen, Shu-Fan Lin, Hong-Ming Hsu

“…Additionally, PIP2 replenishment reversed these inhibitions in the T31N mutant, suggesting the critical role of TvArf220 activation in PIP2-calcium signaling. Also, T31N mutant and BFA treatment impaired actin dynamics and cytoskeleton-dependent processes in T. vaginalis, further linking the role of TvArf220 to PIP2-calcium-dependent actin dynamics. …”

Experimental study on improving the effect of microorganisms in solidifying fine-grained soil by red mud by Peng Liu, Yu Cheng, Guanghui Shao

“…The results show that: (1) Red mud can significantly improve the production of cement during microbial reinforcement of fine-grained soils; the optimal dosage of red mud is 20 %, which increases the strength by 34.6 % and the production of cement by 42.9 %, compared with conventional MICP. (2) After red mud was incorporated into the soil, the pore volume and pore diameter of the treated soil were significantly reduced, and the overall compactness was further improved. (3) The enhancement mechanism of microbial consolidation of fine-grained soils by red mud is mainly due to the presence of chemically active β-C2S and calcium oxide in red mud. These active calcium-based components undergo hydration and carbonation reactions under the action of microbial mineralization, generating calcium carbonate and hydrated calcium silicate, which improves the cement yield and enhances the intergranular bond strength, compactness and overall reinforcement effect of the treated soil.…”
