This paper presents a photografting process of monolithic silica capillary columns based on the ene-thiol click chemistry. This study is performed on a "generic" vinyl-functionalized silica monolith (Hmin 6±1μm). The photoclick reaction is investigated using different thiol monomers (octadecanethiol, cysteine

The early activation of microglia that induces retinal inflammation in DR may serve as a target for therapeutic intervention of DR. Our demonstration that retinal inflammation is attenuated via adenosine receptor A(2A)AR supports the hypothesis that a mechanism to maintain

High levels of histamine H3 receptors (H3Rs) are found in the globus pallidus (GP), a neuronal nucleus in the basal ganglia involved in the control of motor behavior. By using rat GP isolated nerve terminals (synaptosomes), we studied whether H3R
Homeotic (HOX) genes are dysregulated in multiple malignancies, including several AML subtypes. We demonstrate that H3K79 dimethylation (H3K79me2) is converted to monomethylation (H3K79me1) at HOX loci as hematopoietic cells mature, thus coinciding with a decrease in HOX gene expression. We
Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is useful for determining the functional significance of epicardial coronary stenosis and may facilitate clinical decision making in patients with an equivocal coronary stenosis for coronary revascularization. Therefore, determining an efficient and safe method to achieve
Postconditioning has been reported to reduce infarct size in ST-segment myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, recently, few other studies did not show any effect of postconditioning and suggested that it may be even harmful. We sought to assess whether postconditioning could
RNA-specific adenosine deaminase (ADAR)-mediated adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) editing is a critical arm of the antiviral response. However, mechanistic insights into how A-to-I RNA editing affects viral infection are lacking. We posited that inosine incorporation into RNA facilitates sensing of nonself RNA
Acanthamoeba is an opportunistic protozoan parasite responsible for different diseases in humans, such as granulomatous amoebic encephalitis and amoebic keratitis. Tigecycline, a third-generation tetracycline antibiotic, has potential activity to treat most of the antibiotic resistant bacterial infections. The effects of

Cancer is a complex disease that is dictated by both cancer cell-intrinsic and cell-extrinsic processes. Adenosine is an ancient extracellular signalling molecule that can regulate almost all aspects of tissue function. As such, several studies have recently highlighted a crucial

The effect of intracoronary adenosine (ADO) on ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) size and adverse remodeling is not well established. In a double-blind trial, 201 patients with STEMI were randomized to receive percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) within 6 hours of
This study was undertaken to determine the effect of an adenosine kinase inhibitor (AKI) in diabetic retinopathy (DR). We have shown previously that adenosine signaling via A2A receptors (A2AAR) is involved in retinal protection from diabetes-induced inflammation. Here we demonstrate

Hippocampal oscillations are critical for information processing, and are strongly influenced by inputs from the medial septum. Hippocamposeptal neurons provide direct inhibitory feedback from the hippocampus onto septal cells, and are therefore likely to also play an important role in

Malignant hyperthermia is a pharmacogenetic disorder typically triggered by potent inhalation anesthetics and/or the depolarizing muscle relaxant succinylcholine in malignant hyperthermia-susceptible individuals. Since lymphocytes express the same Ca channel mutation found in malignant hyperthermia-susceptible muscle, we investigated agonist-induced adenosine formation

Traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) is associated with apoptosis of retinal ganglion cells. Local productions of reactive oxygen species and inflammatory mediators from activated microglial cells have been hypothesized to underlie apoptotic processes. We previously demonstrated that the anti-inflammatory effect of

Protein translation and degradation are critical for proper protein homeostasis, yet it remains unclear how these processes are dynamically regulated, or how they may directly balance or synergize with each other. An important translational control mechanism is the Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation
Nucleotides, nucleosides and nucleobases play a greater role in the physiological activity of organisms which are highly present in royal jelly (RJ). The objective of the present study is to develop a HPLC method to simultaneous determine nucleotides, nucleosides and
