PDE2 is a potential new target for the treatment of cardiac hypertrophy
心failure is one of the leading causes of death in the Western World today. It typically involves a deficiency of the heart to provide sufficient blood flow and/or blood pressure to meet the requirements of the
Identifying doses in commercial liquid drugs sterilized by ionizing radiation
Drug sterilization with ionizing radiation, such as gamma-radiation using doses up to 25 kGy is a well-established technology, which can adequately eliminate bacteria by breaking down their DNA. This method is gaining ground due to its numerous
A new mouse model to study the biology of depression in cancer
Patients with advanced cancers often experience depression, which can significantly reduce their quality of life and increase mortality. Currently, the lack of a valid and useful animal model is the greatest obstacle for studying the basic biology
Can smart tech help incentivise and target shifts in mobility behaviour?
Motorised transport use causes 13% of all global GHG emissions, 23% of global carbon dioxide emissions and more than 80% of air pollution in developing countries, contributing to deaths arising from poor air quality. Hence, a main
Potential health benefits from the consumption of berry seed oils
Fats together with carbohydrates and proteins are the main nutrients of our diet. In public opinion, a diet rich in fats is not associated with healthy life style, which is a result of their high caloric value
The master puppeteer? – Impact of microbes on brain and behaviour
For the longest time microbiology & neuroscience used to be studied independently and with limited overlap. Recently, however, research on the microbiome and its interaction with our organs, including the brain, is increasingly gaining momentum. With more
Participation of secreted protein L5 in formation of outer membrane vesicles produced by Lysobacter sp. XL1
外膜的形成囊泡是physiological feature of Gram-negative bacteria. Vesicles formation is result of splitting off the evagination of bacterial outer membrane. Its size varies from 20 to 300 nm. During formation of vesicles,
A variant RNA polymerase controls bacterial pathogenicity and stress responses
In order for cells to carry out normal functions, the genetic information stored in DNA needs to be first converted to RNA. This conversion – known as transcription – is carried out by a class of enzymes
Dogs with lymphoma have better therapeutic responses and longer lifespans if they revealed lower white blood cell count after chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is effective against rapidly growing neoplasm. Chemotherapeutic drugs also damage other rapidly dividing cells, such as bone marrow stem cells. Because white blood cells have the shortest life spans in the hemocyte, bone marrow suppression commonly
