Analysis on the Characterization of Multiphoton Microscopy Images for Malignant Neoplastic Colon Lesion Detection under Deep Learning Methods
(Wolters Kluwer, 2021-06-21)
Background: Colorectal cancer has a high incidence rate worldwide, with over 1.8 million new cases and 880,792 deaths in 2018. Fortunately, its early detection significantly increases the survival rate, reaching a cure ...
Neuronal Proteomic Analysis Of The Ubiquitinated Substrates Of The Disease-Linked E3 Ligases Parkin And Ube3a
(Hindawi, 2018-03-06)
Both Parkin and UBE3A are E3 ubiquitin ligases whose mutations result in severe brain dysfunction. Several of their substrates have been identified using cell culture models in combination with proteasome inhibitors, but ...
Unzipping the Secrets of Amyloid Disassembly by the Human Disaggregase
(MDPI, 2021-10-14)
Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) are increasingly positioned as leading causes of global deaths. The accelerated aging of the population and its strong relationship with neurodegeneration forecast these pathologies as a ...
HERC2 deficiency activates C-RAF/MKK3/p38 signalling pathway altering the cellular response to oxidative stress
(Springer, 2022)
HERC2 gene encodes an E3 ubiquitin ligase involved in several cellular processes by regulating the ubiquitylation of different protein substrates. Biallelic pathogenic sequence variants in the HERC2 gene are associated ...
SPANX-A/D protein subfamily plays a key role in nuclear organisation, metabolism and flagellar motility of human spermatozoa
(Nature Publishing Group, 2020-03-27)
Human sperm protein associated with the nucleus on the X chromosome (SPANX) genes encode a protein family (SPANX-A, -B, -C and -D), whose expression is limited to the testis and spermatozoa in normal tissues and to a wide ...
HuR/ELAVL1 drives malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor growth and metastasis
(The American Society for Clinical Investigation, 2020-07-01)
Cancer cells can develop a strong addiction to discrete molecular regulators, which control the aberrant gene expression programs that drive and maintain the cancer phenotype. Here, we report the identification of the ...
Arachidyl Amido Cholanoic Acid Improves Liver Glucose and Lipid Homeostasis in Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis Via AMPK and mTOR Regulation
(Baishideng, 2020-09-14)
BACKGROUND Arachidyl amido cholanoic acid (Aramchol) is a potent downregulator of hepatic stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) protein expression that reduces liver triglycerides and fibrosis in animal models of steatohepatitis. ...
Mycorrhizal-assisted phytoremediation and intercropping strategies improved the health of contaminated soil in a peri-urban area
(Frontiers Media, 2021-07-02)
[EN] Soils of abandoned and vacant lands in the periphery of cities are frequently subjected
to illegal dumping and can undergo degradation processes such as depletion of
organic matter and nutrients, reduced biodiversity, ...
Magnesium Accumulation Upon Cyclin M4 Silencing Activates Microsomal Triglyceride Transfer Protein Improving NASH
(Elsevier, 2021-07)
Background & Aims: Perturbations of intracellular magnesium (Mg2+) homeostasis have implications for cell physiology. The cyclin M family, CNNM, perform key functions in the transport of Mg2+ across cell membranes. Herein, ...
PI3K-regulated Glycine N-methyltransferase is required for the development of prostate cancer
(Springer Nature, 2022-02)
[EN] Glycine N-Methyltransferase (GNMT) is a metabolic enzyme that integrates metabolism and epigenetic regulation. The product of GNMT, sarcosine, has been proposed as a prostate cancer biomarker. This enzyme is predominantly ...
