Regulation of Inflammation; Its Resolution and Therapeutic Targeting
(2018)
Inflammation is a fundamental protective mechanism and at the same time the driving force of a variety of major diseases in humans. Indeed, acute self-resolving inflammation usually plays a positive role for the host, as ...
Regulation of Tissue Responses: The TWEAK/Fn14 Pathway and other TNF/ TNFR Superfamily Members that Activate Noncanonical NFkB Signaling
(2016)
The immune system mediates tissue responses under both physiological and pathological conditions, impacting the inflammatory, fibrogenic and regenerative components. In addition to various leukocyte subsets, it is now ...
Regulation of immune system cell functions by protein kinase C
(2014)
Members of the protein kinase C (PKC) family of Ser/Thr kinases are encoded by nine distinct but closely related genes, which give rise to more than 12 different protein isoforms via a mechanism of alternative RNA splicing. ...
Regulation of Endurance Performance: New Frontiers
(2017)
Successful endurance performance requires the integration of multiple physiological and psychological systems, working together to regulate exercise intensity in a way that will reduce time taken or increase work done. The ...
Regulation of red cell life-span, erythropoiesis, senescence and clearance
(2014)
Human red blood cells are formed mainly in the bone marrow and are believed to have an average life span of approximately 120 days. However, is it true for all red blood cells? What are the changes associated with red cell ...
Relevance of Translational Regulation on Plant Growth and Environmental Responses
(2018)
Plants, as sessile organisms, are exposed to a large array of challenging external and internal alterations that may restrict plant growth. These limiting growth conditions activate plant signalling responses which eventually ...
Repetitive Structures in Biological Sequences: Algorithms and Applications
(2016)
Repetitive structures in biological sequences are emerging as an active focus of research and the unifying concept of "repeatome" (the ensemble of knowledge associated with repeating structures in genomic/proteomic sequences) ...
Recent advances in Pancreatology
(2014)
Pancreatic diseases include intractable ones including acute and chronic pancreatitis, and pancreatic cancer. In recent years, great advances have been made in the field of pancreatology, including the pathogenesis, ...
Recent advances and the future generation of neuroinformatics infrastructure

The Role of Glia in Plasticity and Behavior
(2015)
Glial cells are no longer considered passive bystanders in neuronal brain circuits. Not only are they required for housekeeping and brain metabolism, they are active participants in regulating the physiological function ...
Role of lipids in virus assembly
(2015)
RNA enveloped viruses comprise several families belonging to plus and minus strand RNA viruses, such as retroviruses, flavoviruses and orthomyxoviruses. Viruses utilize cellular lipids during critical steps of replication ...
Role of Intravenous Levetiracetam in Acute Seizure Management
