Activation Of Glycoprotein Hormone Receptors : Role Of Different Receptor Domains In Hormone Binding And Signaling
(2014-07-16)The glycoprotein hormones, Luteinizing Hormone (LH), human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG), Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) are heterodimeric proteins with an identical α-subunit ... -
Cyclic AMP-Regulated Protein Lysine Acetylation In Mycobacteria
(2015-07-17)Tuberculosis continues to be one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Several mycobacterial species such as M. tuberculosis and M. africanum are responsible for causing this disease in humans. Reports ... -
Etiopathology Of Oral Submucous Fibrosis : Role Of Areca Nut Constituents And Transforming Growth Factor-β Signalling
(2015-08-19)Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSF) is a chronic inflammatory disease resulting in progressive fibrosis of the oral tissues that can cause difficulty in chewing, swallowing, speaking, and mouth opening. Epidemiological studies ... -
Insights Into Cytostatic Mechanisms Regulated By Receptor Guanylyl Cyclase C
(2016-11-16)All cells are equipped to sense changes in their environment and make adaptive responses according to the stimuli. Signal recognition usually occurs at the cell membrane (with the exception of steroid signalling) where the ... -
Insights Into Molecular Regulation Of Cardiomyocyte Differentiation Of Mouse Pluripotent Stem Cells
(2015-08-03)Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) are specialized cells, which have remarkable ability to maintain in an undifferentiated state and are capable of undergoing differentiation to three germ-layer lineage cell types, under ... -
Insights Into The Mechanism Of Actions Of Luteinizing Hormone And Prostaglandin F2α In The Regulation Of Corpus Luteum Function Of Monoovulatory Species
(2016-11-11)Corpus luteum (CL), a transient endocrine structure formed from the ruptured ovarian follicle after ovulation, secretes progesterone (P4) that is essential for establishment and maintenance of pregnancy in mammals. The ... -
Investigations On The Role Of The Global Regulator H-NS In The Survival Of Escherichia Coli In Stationary-Phase
(2015-08-17)Studies on stationary phase cultures of microorganisms in the laboratory have helped us understand the genetic and physiological basis of adaptation in their natural habitats. Stasis or decline in bacterial populations due ... -
Metallophosphoesterases In Mycobacteria Enigmatic Roles In Regulating Mycobacterial Physiology
(2014-04-29)Pathogenic bacteria such as M.tuberculosis have evolved several mechanisms to aid their intracellular survival and subvert host defenses. One of the contributing factors is thought to be the production and secretion of ... -
Regulation of S100A2 by TGF-B : Role in Epithelial -mesenchymal Transition and Tumor Growth
Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is a multifunctional cytokine that regulates a plethora of functions including cell growth, development, and differentiation. TGF-β plays a major role in the inhibition of normal cell ... -
Role Of Insulin-Like Growth Factors Binding Protien 2 (IGFBP2) In Breast Cancer
(2016-04-27)Insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) modulate the bioavailability of IGFs in circulation. IGFBPs 1-6 bind IGFs with high affinity and can either potentiate or inhibit IGF signaling in a context dependent ... -
Spatio-Temporal Control Of Drosophila Indirect Flight Muscle Development And Maintenance By The Transcription Factor Erect Wing
(2016-04-27)Muscle development involves concerted action of a repertoire of mechanisms governing myoblast proliferation, migration, fusion and differentiation. Subsequently, there are cellular events administrating proper muscle ... -
Studies On Molecular Analysis Of Capacitation Associated Protein Tyrosine Phosphorylation In Hamster Spermatozoa
(2014-04-07)In mammals, freshly ejaculated spermatozoa do not possess the ability to fertilize a mature oocyte. They acquire fertilization competence upon residing for a period of time in the female reproductive tract. The physiological ...
