Splice-switching antisense oligonucleotides (SSOs) are emerging therapeutics with two SSOs recently approved by the FDA for Duchenne muscular dystrophy and spinal muscular atrophy. SSOs are administered without any delivery vector and require large doses to achieve the therapeutic benefit, primarily
Cultured neurons from rat dorsal root ganglia and cerebral cortex were infected with Sendai virus, which gives a productive replication with lysis of most neurons, and with the RW strain of mumps virus, which undergoes defective replication causing degeneration of only 30-40% of the neurons within 5
Cell-free preparations of rat sciatic nerve were found to catalyze the reduction of fatty acid to alcohol in the presence of NADPH as reducing cofactor. The reductase was membrane-bound and associated primarily with the microsomal fraction. When fatty acid was the substrate, ATP, coenzyme A (CoA),
GPR40 was originally isolated from human genomic DNA by degenerate PCR. We isolated GPR40 cDNAs from various species, and precisely analyzed its mRNA expression in rat tissues, and found that GPR40 was highly expressed in beta cells in the islets of rat pancreas. When compared to the cell-surface
The role of phospholipase (PLase) in the development of heart mitochondrial dysfunction following reperfusion was studied together with the effects of dilazep on the action of PLases and reperfusion injury. In vivo experiment: Seventy six adult mongrel dogs were divided into 3 groups; the control
BACKGROUND
The phagocytic function in pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and Type 2 diabetes (T2D) has been explored mainly in macrophages but not in polymorphonuclears (PMN). The purpose of this study was to determine the functional status of PMN leukocytes in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB),
The crystal structure of the beta'-2 form of a mixed chain triacylglycerol (TAG), 1,2-dipalmitoyl-3-myristoyl-sn-glycerol (PPM), was determined to a final reliability factor of 0.074. This work is the first to resolve the atomic-level structure of the beta' polymorph, which is of the highest
The correct identification of drying oils plays an essential role in providing an understanding of the conservation and deterioration of artistic materials in works of art. To this end, this work proposes the use of peak area ratios from fatty acids after ensuring that the linear responses of the
