Dose-dependent immunotoxic mechanisms of celastrol via modulation of the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway by Shaohui Geng, Jingqi Wen, Chunli Shen, Li Liu, Yijin Jiang, Jingyuan Fu, Yiwei Guan, Zi Ye, Yuanhao Wu, Chen Li, Guangrui Huang

“…In contrast, low-dose celastrol suppressed PI3K-Akt signaling by downregulating mTOR, indicating dose-dependent modulation of immune function.ConclusionOur study demonstrates the dose-dependent immunotoxic effects of celastrol, which is toxic in high doses caused by activation of the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, while low doses offer protection by blocking this signaling pathway. …”

Spin-dependent thermoelectric properties of a hybrid ferromagnetic metal/quantum dot/topological insulator junction by Piotr Trocha

“…We calculate the thermoelectric coefficients, including electrical conductance, Seebeck coefficient (thermopower), heat conductance, and the figure of merit, using the nonequilibrium Green’s function technique. The results are analyzed in terms of the emergence of new effects. …”

FNDC5/irisin mitigates the cardiotoxic impacts of cancer chemotherapeutics by modulating ROS-dependent and -independent mechanisms by Manish Kumar, Abhishek Singh Sengar, Anushree Lye, Pranesh Kumar, Sukhes Mukherjee, Dinesh Kumar, Priyadip Das, Suvro Chatterjee, Adele Stewart, Biswanath Maity

“…Whereas FNDC5 overexpression in murine heart was cardioprotective, introduction of FNDC5-targeted shRNA into the myocardium was sufficient to trigger Bax up-regulation, ATR/Chk1 activation, oxidative stress, cardiac fibrosis, loss of ventricular function, and compromised animal survival. The detrimental impact of FNDC5 depletion on heart function could be mitigated via treatment with a Chk1 inhibitor identifying Chk1 hyperactivity as a causative factor in cardiac disease. …”

Molecular dynamics simulations reveal proton transfer pathways in cytochrome C-dependent nitric oxide reductase. by Andrei V Pisliakov, Tomoya Hino, Yoshitsugu Shiro, Yuji Sugita

“…That pathway is equivalent to the functional periplasmic cavity postulated in cbb(3) oxidase, which illustrates that the two enzymes share some elements of the proton transfer mechanisms and confirms a close evolutionary relation between NORs and C-type oxidases. …”

Classification of cerebral palsy: association between gender, age, motor type, topography and Gross Motor Function Classificação da paralisia cerebral: associação entre gênero, ida... by Luzia Iara Pfeifer, Daniela Baleroni Rodrigues Silva, Carolina Araújo Rodrigues Funayama, Jair Lício Santos

“…Most hemiplegics children were rated in motor level I, children with diplegia were rated in motor level III, and quadriplegic children were rated in motor level V. Functional classification is necessary to understand the differences in cerebral palsy and to have the best therapeutic planning since it is a complex disease which depends on several factors.…”

The bile acid-sensitive ion channel is gated by Ca2+-dependent conformational changes in the transmembrane domain by Makayla M. Freitas, Eric Gouaux

“…These results reveal the molecular principles governing gating of BASIC and its regulation by Ca2+ ions, demonstrating that Ca2+ ions modulate BASIC function via changes in protein conformation rather than solely from a pore-block, as proposed for other members of this superfamily.…”
