Characterizing the Role of Acetylcholinesterase in Mouse Cardiomyoctyte Proliferation and Differentiation
(2013-12-19)There is scarce information on the fate of cardiac progenitor cells (CPC) in the embryonic heart after chamber specification. Furthermore, the role of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) during heart development is unknown, despite ... -
Characterizing The Role Of Atrial Natriuretic Peptide Signalling In The Development Of The Embryonic Ventricular Conduction System
(2018-09-28)Ventricular arrhythmias occur as a result of impairment in the conduction of the electrical impulse in the ventricular conduction system (VCS), and present prominently among the complications encountered by patients with ... -
Characterizing the structure and assembly features of class IB hydrophobins
(2024-08-24)Hydrophobins are small, amphiphilic proteins secreted by filamentous fungi that accumulate at hydrophobic-hydrophilic interfaces and self-assemble into rodlets, resilient repeating β-sheet structures that reverse the ... -
CHARACTERIZING THE TYPE OF INTERLEUKIN-6 SIGNALING IN SEVERE COVID-19
(2023-03-14)Since the beginning of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic many efforts were made to explore the role of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in COVID-19. I used severe non-COVID-19 to better understand the IL-6 signaling in severe ... -

The Chemerin Receptor GPR1 Signals Through a RhoA/ROCK Pathway and Contributes to Glucose Homeostasis in Obese Mice
(2015-04-02)Chemerin is an adipose-derived hormone that regulates adipose tissue development, immunity, metabolism, and glucose homeostasis. To date, all chemerin function has been attributed to activation of the G protein-coupled ... -
CHEMERIN REGULATES ADIPOSITY AND ENERGY HOMEOSTASIS
(2011-11-08)Obesity, characterized by an excess of adipose tissue, is an established risk factor for cardiovascular disease and type II diabetes. Different mechanisms linking obesity with these comorbidities have been postulated but ... -
Chemerin signalling in adipose tissue and intestinal homeostasis
(2016-02-10)Chemerin is an adipokine and potent chemoattractant for cells expressing chemokine-like receptor 1 (CMKLR1) which plays important roles in metabolism and immunity. Chemerin is secreted as inactive prochemerin and undergoes ... -
Chemical Analysis of Fine Particulate Matter Measured Worldwide through Global Air Sampling Network
(2021-04-29)Globally consistent measurements of airborne metal concentrations in fine particulate matter (PM2.5) are important for understanding potential health impacts, prioritizing air pollution mitigation strategies, and enabling ... -

CHEMICAL ECOLOGY OF BLUEBERRY SPANWORM, ITAME ARGILLACEARIA (PACKARD) (LEPIDOPTERA: GEOMETRIDAE)
(2012-12-12)Blueberry spanworm, Itame argillacearia (Packard), is an important defoliator of wild (syn. ‘lowbush’) blueberry in north-eastern North America. Identification of I. argillacearia sex pheromone(s) could be useful for ... -
CHEMICAL LOOPING GASIFICATION OF BIOMASS FOR HYDROGEN-ENRICHED GAS PRODUCTION
(2011-09-08)Environmental concerns and energy security are two major forces driving the fossil fuel based energy system towards renewable energy. In this context, hydrogen is gaining more and more attention in this 21st century. ... -
Chemical Measures of Fish Oil Quality: Oxidation Products and Sensory Correlation
(2012-08-01)Although quality of commercial fish oil is of the upmost importance to both suppliers and consumers, it can be difficult to maintain due to rapid lipid oxidation attributable to the high levels of EPA and DHA. Fish oil ... -
