Graves’ disease (GD) is an autoimmune disease caused in part by thyroid-stimulating antibodies (TSAbs) that activate the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR). In Graves’ hyperthyroidism (GH), TSAbs cause persistent stimulation of thyroid cells leading to continuous thyroid hormone synthesis and secretion. Thyroid eye disease (TED), also call...

The COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 is in immediate need of an effective antidote. Although the Spike glycoprotein (SgP) of SARS-CoV-2 has been shown to bind to heparins, the structural features of this interaction, the role of a plausible heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) receptor, and the antagonism of this pathway through small molecule...

α: 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) expressed in the nervous and immune systems have been suggested to play important roles in the control of inflammation. However, the lack of antagonist tools specifically inhibiting α7 nAChR impedes the validation of the channel as therapeutic target. To discover a selective α7 antagonist, we started ...

Potato brown rot, caused by Ralstonia solanacearum, ranked globally as the second most important bacterial plant pathogen. In the present study, the influence of different cropping programs in potato brown rot management was investigated in four infected fields in Egypt. Two districts were selected as sandy soils in Giza (Wardan) and Behera (Ganuob...

The nucleotide receptors P2Y2 and P2Y4 are the most closely related G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) of the P2Y receptor (P2YR) family. Both subtypes couple to Gq proteins and are activated by the pyrimidine nucleotide UTP, but only P2Y2R is also activated by the purine nucleotide ATP. Agonists and antagonists of both receptor subtypes have pote...
