Genes within the MHC involved in antigen presentation constitute the most polymorphic loci known in vertebrates [52,53]. The variability of the MHC-molecules is correlated with the diversity of the T-lymphocyte receptors which in turn determine the disease and parasite resistance of an organism and...

For example, specific epigenetic modifications, including DNA methylation, H3K9 methylation and H3K79 methylation marks, and/or the related enzymes (e.g., DNMTs, HDACs, LSD1, and DOT1L) can act as barriers to the reprogramming process. Therefore, forced elimination of these epigenetic barriers ...

and it has multiple functions that are central for normal cellular physiology. It is the principal precursor for steroid biosynthesis and synthesis of vitamin D and oxysterols, and it is involved in proliferation signalling [9,10]. Cholesterol forms a vital part of the plasma membrane due to it...
Figure 1. Chemical structure of the main lycopene metabolites. Lycopene is classified as a carotenoid [31]. It is not classified as a precursor of vitamin A, due to the lack of the final b-ion ring, which is present in the structure of the vitamin A core. The molecular formula of ly...
(as seen in Figure 2), which serves as the site where the osteoclast secretes acid (protons H+) that acidifies the local environment and other lysosomal enzymes (e.g., cathepsin K, which is responsible for degrading the organic components of the bone matrix) to dissolve the mineralized ...
1. Vitamin K In the nomenclature of vitamins, the letter ‘K’ for this particular vitamin comes from its German name, which literally translated to “vitamin for coagulation”. This comes from its property to help with blood clotting and helping a wound recover. Apart from supporting the circ...
