Extension of Life-Span by Overexpression of Superoxide Dismutase and Catalase in Drosophila melanogasterAmerican Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) - Tập 263 Số 5150 - Trang 1128-1130 - 1994
William C. Orr, Rajindar S. Sohal
The hypothesis that oxygen free radicals are causally involved in the aging
process was tested by a study of the effects of simultaneous overexpression of
copper-zinc superoxide dismutase and catalase. As compared to diploid controls,
transgenic flies carrying three copies of each of these genes exhibited as much
as a one-third extension of life-span, a longer mortality rate doubling time, a
lower... hiện toàn bộ
PECAM-1 (CD31) Cloning and Relation to Adhesion Molecules of the Immunoglobulin Gene SuperfamilyAmerican Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) - Tập 247 Số 4947 - Trang 1219-1222 - 1990

An antibody to a platelet integral membrane glycoprotein was found to
cross-react with the previously identified CD31 myelomonocytic differentiation
antigen and with hec7, an endothelial cell protein that is enriched at
intercellular junctions. This antibody identified a complementary DNA clone from
an endothelial cell library. The 130-kilodalton translated sequence contained
six extracellular imm... hiện toàn bộ
Extension of Life-Span with Superoxide Dismutase/Catalase MimeticsAmerican Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) - Tập 289 Số 5484 - Trang 1567-1569 - 2000

We tested the theory that reactive oxygen species cause aging. We augmented the
natural antioxidant systems of Caenorhabditis elegans with small synthetic
superoxide dismutase/catalase mimetics. Treatment of wild-type worms increased
their mean life-span by a mean of 44 percent, and treatment of prematurely aging
worms resulted in normalization of their life-span (a 67 percent increase). It
appear... hiện toàn bộ
Excitation Spectra of Circular, Few-Electron Quantum DotsAmerican Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) - Tập 278 Số 5344 - Trang 1788-1792 - 1997

Studies of the ground and excited states in semiconductor quantum dots
containing 1 to 12 electrons showed that the quantum numbers of the states in
the excitation spectra can be identified and compared with exact calculations. A
magnetic field induces transitions between the ground and excited states. These
transitions were analyzed in terms of crossings between single-particle states,
singlet-tr... hiện toàn bộ
Phosphorylation by p38 MAPK as an Alternative Pathway for GSK3β InactivationAmerican Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) - Tập 320 Số 5876 - Trang 667-670 - 2008
Tina M. Thornton, Gustavo Pedraza‐Alva, Bin Deng, C. David Wood, Alexander Aronshtam, James L. Clements, Guadalupe Sabio, Roger J. Davis, Dwight E. Matthews, Bradley W. Doble, Mercedes Rincón
Glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) is involved in metabolism,
neurodegeneration, and cancer. Inhibition of GSK3β activity is the primary
mechanism that regulates this widely expressed active kinase. Although the
protein kinase Akt inhibits GSK3β by phosphorylation at the N terminus,
preventing Akt-mediated phosphorylation does not affect the cell-survival
pathway activated through the GSK3β subst... hiện toàn bộ
Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases: The prion concept in relation to assembled Aβ, tau, and α-synucleinAmerican Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) - Tập 349 Số 6248 - 2015
Michel Goedert
Converging paradigms in neurodegeneration Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's
disease are progressive neurodegenerative diseases with increasing prevalence in
our aging populations. Recent evidence suggests that some of the molecular
mechanisms involved in the pathology of these diseases have similarities to
those observed in infectious prion diseases such as bovine spongiform
encephalopathy (mad ... hiện toàn bộ
Genetic Evidence for High-Altitude Adaptation in TibetAmerican Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) - Tập 329 Số 5987 - Trang 72-75 - 2010

No Genetic Vertigo Peoples living in high altitudes have adapted to their
situation (see the Perspective by Storz ). To identify gene regions that might
have contributed to high-altitude adaptation in Tibetans, Simonson et al. (p. 72
, published online 13 May) conducted a genome scan of nucleotide polymorphism
comparing Tibetans, Han Chinese, and Japanese, while Yi et al. (p. 75 )

Interaction Between a Putative Mechanosensory Membrane Channel and a CollagenAmerican Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) - Tập 273 Số 5273 - Trang 361-364 - 1996
Jingdong Liu, Bertold Schrank, R Waterston
The degenerin family of proteins in Caenorhabditis elegans is homologous to
subunits of the mammalian amiloride-sensitive epithelial sodium channels.
Mutations in nematode degenerins cause cell death, probably because of defects
in channel function. Genetic evidence was obtained that the unc-105 gene product
represents a degenerin homolog affecting C. elegans muscles and that this
putative channel... hiện toàn bộ
Impaired Nociception and Pain Sensation in Mice Lacking the Capsaicin ReceptorAmerican Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) - Tập 288 Số 5464 - Trang 306-313 - 2000
Michael J. Caterina, Andreas Leffler, Annika B. Malmberg, William J. Martin, Jodie A. Trafton, Karla R. Petersen-Zeitz, Martin Koltzenburg, Allan I. Basbaum, David Julius
The capsaicin (vanilloid) receptor VR1 is a cation channel expressed by primary
sensory neurons of the “pain” pathway. Heterologously expressed VR1 can be
activated by vanilloid compounds, protons, or heat (>43°C), but whether this
channel contributes to chemical or thermal sensitivity in vivo is not known.
Here, we demonstrate that sensory neurons from mice lacking VR1 are severely
deficient in t... hiện toàn bộ
14 C Activity and Global Carbon Cycle Changes over the Past 50,000 YearsAmerican Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) - Tập 303 Số 5655 - Trang 202-207 - 2004

A series of 14 C measurements in Ocean Drilling Program cores from the tropical
Cariaco Basin, which have been correlated to the annual-layer counted chronology
for the Greenland Ice Sheet Project 2 (GISP2) ice core, provides a
high-resolution calibration of the radiocarbon time scale back to 50,000 years
before the present. Independent radiometric dating of events correlated to GISP2
