Effect of chlorocholine chloride (CCC) on phenolic acids composition and polyphenols accumulation in various anatomical parts (stems, leaves and inflorescences) of common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) in the early stages of vegetation period were surveyed. Treatment of buckwheat seeds with 2% of CCC has been increased content of total phenolics in the stems, leaves and inflorescences. On...... hiện toàn bộ
β-Catenin: oncogenic role and therapeutic target in cervical cancerBiological Research - - 2020
Bingqi Wang, Xianping Li, Lei Liu, Min Wang
AbstractCervical cancer is a common and fatal malignancy of the female reproductive system. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the primary causal agent for cervical cancer, but HPV infection alone is insufficient to cause the disease. Actually, most HPV infections are sub-clinical and cleared spontaneously by the host immune system; very few persist and eventually devel...... hiện toàn bộ
Identification of novel gene and pathway targets for human epilepsy treatmentBiological Research - Tập 49 - Trang 1-9 - 2016
Ying Jin, Chunzhe Zhao, Lihui Chen, Xiangyu Liu, Shuxiao Pan, Dongsheng Ju, Jing Ma, Jinying Li, Bo Wei
The aim of this study was to explore epilepsy-related mechanism so as to figure out the possible targets for epilepsy treatment. The gene expression profile dataset GES32534 was downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus database. We identified the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) by Affy package. Then the DEGs were used to perform gene ontology (GO) and pathway enrichment analyses. Furthermore,...... hiện toàn bộ
Glial-restricted progenitor cells: a cure for diseased brain?Biological Research - - 2024

The central nervous system (CNS) is home to neuronal and glial cells. Traditionally, glia was disregarded as just the structural support across the brain and spinal cord, in striking contrast to neurons, always considered critical players in CNS functioning. In modern times this outdated dogma is continuously repelled by new evidence unravelling the importance of glia in neuronal maintenance and f...... hiện toàn bộ
Sarcophaga (Liosarcophaga) dux (Diptera: Sarcophagidae): A flesh fly species of medical importanceBiological Research - Tập 47 - Trang 1-9 - 2014
Kabkaew L Sukontason, Sangob Sanit, Tunwadee Klong-klaew, Jeffery K Tomberlin, Kom Sukontason
Although tropical climate of Thailand is suitably endowed with biodiversity of insects, flies of medical importance is not well investigated. Using information from literature search, fly survey approach and specialist’s experience, we review database of Sarcophaga (Liosarcophaga) dux Thomson (Diptera: Sarcophagidae), one of the priorities flesh fly species of medical importance in Thailand. This ...... hiện toàn bộ
Palmitic acid-induced lipotoxicity promotes a novel interplay between Akt-mTOR, IRS-1, and FFAR1 signaling in pancreatic β-cellsBiological Research - Tập 52 - Trang 1-12 - 2019

Free fatty acid receptor 1 (FFAR1) is G-protein coupled receptor predominantly expressed in pancreatic β-cells that is activated by a variety of free fatty acids (FFAs). Once activated, it promotes glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). However, increased levels of FFAs lead to lipotoxicity, inducing loss of β-cell function. FFAR1 plays a key role in the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D),...... hiện toàn bộ
Topsoil and subsoil bacterial community assemblies across different drainage conditions in a mountain environmentBiological Research - Tập 56 - Trang 1-15 - 2023

High mountainous environments are of particular interest as they play an essential role for life and human societies, while being environments which are highly vulnerable to climate change and land use intensification. Despite this, our knowledge of high mountain soils in South America and their microbial community structure is strikingly scarce, which is of more concern considering the large popu...... hiện toàn bộ
Effects of crowding and sex on fecal cortisol levels of captive forest musk deerBiological Research - Tập 47 - Trang 1-6 - 2014
Lan He, Wen-Xia Wang, Lin-Hai Li, Bao-Qing Liu, Gang Liu, Shu-Qiang Liu, Lei Qi, De-Fu Hu
Restricted space and close contact with conspecifics in captivity may be stressful for musk deer, as they are highly territorial and solitary in the wild. So we tested the effects of crowding on stress of forest musk deer (Moschus berezovskii) in heterosexual groups, using fecal cortisol analysis as a non-invasive method. 32 healthy adults during non-breeding seasons were chose as our experimental...... hiện toàn bộ
Stress tolerant virulent strains of Cronobacter sakazakii from foodBiological Research - Tập 47 - Trang 1-12 - 2014
Md Fakruddin, Mizanur Rahaman, Monzur Morshed Ahmed, Md Mahfuzul Hoque
Cronobacter sakazakii is considered as an emerging foodborne pathogen. The aim of this study was to isolate and characterize virulent strains of Cronobacter sakazakii from food samples of Bangladesh. Six (6) Cronobacter sakazakii was isolated and identified from 54 food samples on the basis of biochemical characteristics, sugar fermentation, SDS-PAGE of whole cell protein, plasmid profile and PCR ...... hiện toàn bộ
