Neuroimmunology is one of the fastest-growing fields in the life sciences, and for good reason; it fills the gap between two principal systems of the organism, the nervous system and the immune system. Although both systems affect each other through bidirectional interactions, we focus here on ...
Although the methoxy and amide side chains of the melatonin molecule also contribute to its antioxidant capacity, the reactive center of interaction with free radicals is located in the indole moiety, due to its high resonance stability and very low activation energy barrier ...
It is well documented that in the chain from sample to the result in a clinical laboratory, the pre-analytical phase is the weakest and most vulnerable link. This also holds for the use and analysis of extracellular nucleic acids. In this short review, w
Menstrual blood-derived SCs (Men-MSC) were discovered in 2007. They can be collected from menstrual blood, so it is non-invasive [13]. UC-MSCs are a great source of SCs that can be differentiated into almost every type of mesodermal and some non-mesodermal cell types and serve for ...
Possible circadian regulation of extrapineal melatonin production (bottom) in the retina, liver, brain, thymus, and spleen. A possible interplay with pineal melatonin has been suggested (yellow arrows). Retina is able to uptake melatonin from exogenous administration, while pineal melatonin seems to ...
2. Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase-Physiological Expression and Functional Role The ALK gene is located on chromosomal region 2p23 and encodes a highly conserved receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK), which is a member of the insulin receptor superfamily, and is most closely related to leukocyte tyrosine kinase...
