Ran (Ras-related nuclear protein) plays several important roles in nucleo-cytoplasmic transport, mitotic spindle formation, nuclear envelope/nuclear pore complex assembly, and other functions in the cytoplasm, as well as in cellular transformation when switched on. Unlike other members of the GTPase superfamily, Ran binds more tightly to GDP than t...

MAIT cells are unconventional T cells expressing a semi-invariant αβ TCR, and they recognize bacterial metabolites via the highly conserved MR1 protein. MAIT cells interact with gut microbiota and literature reports alterations of gut homeostasis in type 1 diabetes (T1D), suggesting the involvement of MAIT cells in T1D. Since NOD mice is a well-est...

Applied radiation and isotopes : including data, instrumentation and methods for use in agriculture, industry and medicine
Activation of material is of interest for waste treatment and hazard assessment. In particular, activation of printed circuit can lead to the production of radionuclides at an isomeric state, for example, coming from silver. In particle accelerators, the production of silver isomeric states mainly come from low energy neutrons, below 20 MeV. The qu...

Much of our understanding of in vivo skeletal muscle properties is based on studies performed under maximal activation, which is problematic because muscles are rarely activated maximally during movements such as walking. Currently, force-length properties of the human triceps surae at submaximal voluntary muscle activity levels are not characteriz...

A novel activator, corn biochar, was produced to activate persulfate to dewater waste activated sludge (WAS). Results demonstrated that the biochar-activated persulfate oxidation can effectively improve the dewatering performance of WAS. After treating WAS by biochar-activated persulfate oxidation (biochar dosage: 2.1 g/L, persulfate concentration:...

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are enzymes with critical roles in biology and pathology. Glycosylation, nitrosylation and proteolysis are known posttranslational modifications (PTMs) regulating intrinsically the activities of MMPs. We discovered MMP citrullination by peptidyl arginine deiminases (PADs) as a new PTM. Upon hypercitrullination, MMP-...

BackgroundThe release of hazardous synthetic dyes into industrial effluents has emerged as an environmental problem requiring remediation. The present study focused on the preparation of a new and environmentally-friendly material (adsorbent) for the remediation of hazardous dyes from aqueous solution. The low cost adsorbent was prepared from local...

Integrin activation and clustering by talin are early steps of cell adhesion. Membrane-bound talin head domain and kindlin bind to the β integrin cytoplasmic tail, cooperating to activate the heterodimeric integrin, and the talin head domain induces integrin clustering in the presence of Mn2+ Here we show that kindlin-1 can replace Mn2+ to mediate ...

Progressive loading of the lower limb muscles during running on a positive pressure or reduced gravity (Alter-G™) treadmill is suggested as a rehabilitation strategy after muscle and tendon injury but the influence of running up or downhill and at higher speeds is not known, nor are the interaction effects of speed, inclination, and indicated bodyw...

Intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) provide a barrier that separates the mucosal immune system from the luminal microbiota. IECs constitutively express low levels of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II proteins, which are upregulated upon exposure to interferon gamma. We investigated the effects of deleting MHCII proteins specifically in...
