ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters serve a variety of physiological functions as well as play key roles in drug resistance. The genome of the human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, encodes multiple members of this family, one of which, gABCG2, is transcribed predominantly in the gametoc...
Centella asiatica (L.) Urban (also known as ""gotu kola"") is a perennial plant, used in traditional medicine for promoting resilience to central nervous system (CNS) disorders. C. asiatica is a tropical medicinal herb from the Apiaceae family and is native to Southeast Asian countries. The chemical...
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) have been identified as therapeutic targets due to regulatory function in DNA structure and organization. We have analyzed the role of the LBH589, a novel pan inhibitor of class I and II HDACs, in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. In vitro, LBH589 was shown to induce a dose...
We quantified the protein abundances of Mycoplasma pneumoniae (Mpn), a genome-reduced organism, by combining selected reaction monitoring of a reduced set of labeled peptides and label-free shotgun mass spectrometry. A set of 77 labeled peptides were synthesized and used as internal standard peptide...
The general objective of the study was to determine modulation of gene expression by environmental factors, specifically simulation of microgravity, with a special emphasis on bone formation. For this reason, the specific period of treatment was chosen between 5-6 days post-fertilization (dpf), when...
