DNA helicases: expression, functions and clinical implications
(2015)
Helicases are the proteins that bind to double- or single-stranded DNA and/or RNA chains to unwind higher order structures, usually consuming energy from the hydrolysis of ATP molecules. The biological roles of helicases ...
DNA Polymerases in Biotechnology
(2015)
DNA polymerases are core tools for molecular biology including PCR, whole genome amplification, DNA sequencing and genotyping. Research has focused on discovery of novel DNA polymerases, characterization of DNA polymerase ...
Developing synaesthesia
(2015)
Synaesthesia is a condition in which a stimulus elicits an additional subjective experience. For example, the letter E printed in black (the inducer) may trigger an additional colour experience as a concurrent (e.g., blue). ...
Developing Stem Cell-Based Therapies For Neural Repair
(2015)
Current pharmacotherapies and surgical intervention provide limited benefit in the treatment of neural injuries or halting disease progression and has resulted in significant hope for the successes of stem cell research. ...
Diacylglycerol Kinase Signalling
(2017)
Diacylglycerol kinases (DGKs) phosphorylate diacylglycerol (DG), catalyzing its conversion into phosphatidic acid (PA). This reaction attenuates membrane DG levels, limiting the localization/activation of signaling proteins ...
Dysregulation of Autonomic Cardiac Control by Traumatic Stress and Anxiety
(2016)
Current understanding of the interplay between sympathetic and parasympathetic influences on cardiac response to environmental stimuli and subsequent response selection (e.g. maintenance of resting homeostasis, mobilization ...
The Economics of Protected Marine Species: Concepts in Research and Management
(2016)
Protected marine species have populations that are depleted, decreasing, or are at-risk of extinction or local extirpation. As of 2015 The International Union for the Conservation of Nature, a global environmental organization, ...
Climate change and marine top predators
(2016)
Climate change affects all components of marine ecosystems. For endothermic top predators, i.e. seabirds and marine mammals, these impacts are often complex and mediated through trophic relationships. In this Research ...
Dental and Periodontal Tissues Formation and Regeneration: Current Approaches and Future Challenges
(2016)
Sequential and reciprocal interactions between oral epithelial and cranial neural crest-derived mesenchymal cells give rise to the teeth and periodontium. Teeth are vital organs containing a rich number of blood vessels ...
Cytokines as Players of Neuronal Plasticity and Sensitivity to Environment in Healthy and Pathological Brain
(2016)
It is now accepted that immune molecules are not only present within the brain during pathology but they exert physiological functions in the "healthy" brain as well. Increasing evidence points to a neuro-modulatory role ...
