The inflammatory response is a complex biological process initiated following the recognition of noxious stimuli. It is composed of an elaborate cascade of both pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators, essential for effective defenses against infection, the removal of damaged cells, and the...

The TOM core complex: the general protein import pore of the outer membrane of mitochondria
Download1999
Thun, C., Neupert, W., Hegerl, R., Nussberger, S., Typke, D., Ahting, U., Nargang, F. E.
Abstract: Translocation of nuclear-encoded preproteins across the outer membrane of mitochondria is mediated by the multicomponent transmembrane TOM complex. We have isolated the TOM core complex of Neurospora crassa by removing the receptors Tom70 and Tom20 from the isolated TOM holo complex by...

The tumor suppressor protein Ras association domain family 1A (RASSF1A) has roles in multiple signaling pathways including modulating apoptosis, the cell cycle, DNA damage, and microtubule organization. RASSF1A has been shown to be one of the most frequently epigenetically silenced genes in a...

Transport and reaction processes in bioremediation of organic contaminants. 1. Review of bacterial degradation and transport
Download2003-01-01
Bressler, David C., Gray, Murray R.
Bioremediation of contaminants in soil and water involves a complex interplay between transport processes and biological reactions. Equilibrium physical factors such as aqueous solubility, soil adsorption, and phase partitioning indicate the transport processes that can limit bioremediation,...

Understanding Heart Failure in Patients with Dilated Cardiomyopathy: A Direct Tissue Analysis from Explanted Human Hearts
DownloadFall 2022
Background Chronic heart failure (HF) remains a rising global epidemic that affects both adults and children population. The causes of HF are heterogeneous, and syndromes are often complicated by concomitant disorders such as iron deficiency (ID) and diabetes. Comorbidities not only complicate...

Understanding postprandial inflammation and its relationship to lifestyle behaviour and metabolic diseases
Download2012
Cabezas, Manuel C., Mamo, John C., Proctor, Spencer D., Botham, Kathleen M., Klop, Boudewijn
Postprandial hyperlipidemia with accumulation of remnant lipoproteins is a common metabolic disturbance associated with atherosclerosis and vascular dysfunction, particularly during chronic disease states such as obesity, the metabolic syndrome and, diabetes. Remnant lipoproteins become attached...

Using 1H-NMR based metabolomics to investigate the pathological consequences of mitochondrial disease and human rabies infection
DownloadSpring 2012
Mitochondrial diseases encompass a wide range of clinical phenotypes. The etiology of these disorders is extremely complex; mitochondria are central to energy metabolism and dysfunction can have a profound effect on global metabolism. The original objective of this thesis was to use 1H-NMR based...

Vaccenic and elaidic acid modify plasma and splenocyte membrane phospholipids and mitogen-stimulated cytokine production in obese insulin resistant JCR:LA-cp rats
Download2010
Ruth, Megan R., Reaney, Martin J., Vine, Donna F., Goruk, Susan, Yu, Howe-Ming, Field, Catherine J., Proctor, Spencer D., Wang, Ye
This study assessed the long-term effects of dietary vaccenic acid (VA) and elaidic acid (EA) on plasma and splenocyte phospholipid (PL) composition and related changes in inflammation and splenocyte phenotypes and cytokine responses in obese/insulin resistant JCR:LA-cp rats. Relative to lean...

Epidemiological studies correlate vitamin D deficiency with asthma severity. Calcitriol modulates receptor and cytokine expression from various leukocytes in an anti-inflammatory manner. Despite eosinophil activity during mucosal inflammation, knowledge on the direct effect of calcitriol on this...
