Mechanistic Insights into the Role of IGFBP-2 in Glioblastoma
(2018-08-13)
Insulin like Growth Factor Binding Proteins (IGFBPs) 1 to 6 have important physiological functions of regulating half life and bioavailability of Insulin like Growth Factors (IGFs). Consequently, these have been known to ...
Genetics of Drosophila Indirect Flight Muscles : Unraveling the Roles of Genes Involved in Muscle Development and Function
Myofibrillogenesis is a complex process involving assembly of many structural proteins in an orchestrated spatio-temporal manner to form a highly ordered contractile sarcomeric unit. Mutations in the proteins involved in ...
Insight into luteolytic effects of repeated administration of LH in pregnant rats: Analysis of cAMP/PKA pathway during LH-induced luteolysis
The Corpus luteum (CL) is a dynamic endocrine structure that develops in the ovary from the remnants of the ovulated follicle and plays a critical role in the control of estrous/menstrual cycle as well as in establishment ...
Immune-metabolic response of Caenorhabditis elegans to Enterococcus faecalis
Immune response to pathogens is energetically expensive to the host. In this study, we show that Caenorhabditis elegans exposed for 8 hours to pathogenic Gram-positive bacteria, Enterococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus ...
Rv0805, a novel regulator of central carbon metabolism and cell envelope properties in mycobacteria
Metabolic flexibility is one of the key factors that underpin mycobacterial physiology and pathogenesis. During infection, mycobacteria shift towards utilising host-derived fatty acids, lipids, cholesterol and cholesterol-esters. ...
Identification and Characterization of Molecular and Genetic Regulators of Cellular Senescence - Role of Free Radical Homeostasis
Aging is defined in an evolutionary biological context as a steady state decline in the specific fitness components of an organism due to internal physiological deterioration. The most profound and important contribution ...
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 ...
Mechanism of β-catenin regulation by IGFBP2: Role in Glioblastoma progression
Insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) were initially identified as high affinity binders of Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs). There are six IGFBPs which regulate the bioavailability and functions of IGFs ...
Regulation of Notch signalling by hypoxia and AMPK in breast cancer
Developmental pathways such as Notch are known to regulate self-renewal and cell fate decisions in embryonic and adult tissue-specific stem cells, while deregulation of Notch signalling is associated with malignant ...
Genetic control of Embryonic and Adult muscle development in Drosophila melanogaster by Mlp60A
Many genetic regulatory networks are required to define the overall characters in a living organism. Characters which are necessary for survival in the wild are often canalized, such that despite genetic and environmental ...
