Molecular Mechanisms Regulating Hepatic Fetuin-A Expression
(2016-12-05)
Fetuin-A (Fet-A) is a hepatokine, known to inhibit insulin signaling and is associated with diabetes, cardiovascular outcomes and inflammation. Post-translational modification of fetuin-A at different glycosylation and ...
Molecular mechanisms underlying synaptic dysfunction in Aging Alzheimer's disease and Diabetes
(2012-01-19)
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and diabetes (DB) contribute to the development of early brain aging and cognitive dysfunction. Mechanistic basis of cognitive dysfunction in AD and DB is not well elucidated. Resistance to age ...
Molecular modeling, design, and synthesis of some potential selective DNA minor groove alkylators
(2021-12-03)
Small molecules-DNA interactions are responsible for many biological processes. The DNA present in normal and tumor cells are almost identical. Therefore, DNA targeting drugs are used only in serious and life-threatening ...
Molecular pharmacogenomics-guided development of novel targeted therapies for drug-resistant human cancers
(2026-04-24)
Despite unprecedented therapeutic advances, multiple myeloma remains incurable, with nearly all patients eventually developing drug resistance and disease relapse. This urgent clinical challenge demands innovative approaches ...
Molecular Photovoltaic Systems Based on Phospholipids/Alkanethiol Hybrid Bilayer Membranes: Photocurrent Generation and Modulation
(2012-07-23)
Biological membranes offer an ideal place to assemble necessary components for plant
photosynthesis in nature and suggest new strategies to build artificial photosynthetic systems by
using lipid bilayers. In this ...
Molecular Photovoltaic Systems Based on Solid-Supported Phospholipids/Alkanethiol Hybrid Bilayer Matrices: Photocurrent Generation and Modulation
(2013-07-19)
Stimulated by the energy crisis and inspired by natural photosynthesis, several molecular photovoltaic (artificial photosynthetic) systems were developed and investigated within the current research. These molecular ...
Molecular phylogenetic characterization of microbial community dynamics associated with freshwater stream environmental organic matter sources
(2011-11-30)
The effects of various biotic and abiotic factors on microbial community dynamics during leaf breakdown were assessed through a series of in situ leaf breakdown studies within the Fort Benning Military Installation (FBMI), ...
Molecular predictors of the hypertrophy response to resistance training in young untrained female adults
(2022-07-13)
We determined if the myofibrillar protein synthetic (MyoPS) response to a naïve resistance exercise (RE) bout, or chronic changes in satellite cell number and muscle ribosome content, varied in females that classified as ...
Molecular Profiling of Fertility in reproductively divergent Bos taurus Heifers: Insights into Gene and Cytokine Markers
(2024-12-04)
The reproductive efficiency of Bos taurus beef cattle is pivotal for the profitability and sustainability of cattle operations. Subfertility represents a significant economic burden within the cow-calf sector of the beef ...
