Successive interference cancellation using stage dependent decision functions by Bentrcia, A.

“…In this paper, we introduce the concept of stage-dependent decision functions. The latter exploit the improvement of the soft-decisions' reliability with increasing number of stages to take more hard-decisions and thus cancels more noise from stage to stage. …”

Metabolic Profiling of Exercise-induced Autophagy-dependent Metabolites in Mouse Plasma by Fadel, Joanna

“…Our results show that exercise induced distinct metabolic changes in mouse plasma, with several metabolites, including pregeijerene, androsterone glucuronide, meproscillarin, and N-acetyl methionine, showing significant increases in the exercise group. These changes were largely attenuated by CQ treatment, suggesting their dependence on autophagy. …”

Increasing methylation of sperm rDNA and other repetitive elements in the aging male mammalian germline by Ramya Potabattula (4401160)

“…Here, we used bisulfite pyrosequencing and show that methylation of the rDNA transcription unit including upstream control element (UCE), core promoter, 18S rDNA, and 28S rDNA in human sperm also significantly increases with donor's age. This positive correlation between sperm rDNA methylation and biological age is evolutionarily conserved among mammals with widely different life spans such as humans, marmoset, bovine, and mouse. …”

Biomolecular changes and subsequent time-dependent recovery in hippocampal tissue after experimental mild traumatic brain injury by Sebnem Garip Ustaoglu (18460611)

“…Band area and intensity ratios, band frequency and bandwidth values of specific spectral bands showed that TBI causes significant structural and contextual global changes including decrease in carbonyl content, unsaturated lipid content, lipid acyl chain length, membrane lipid order, total protein content, lipid/protein ratio, besides increase in membrane fluidity with an altered protein secondary structure and metabolic activity in hippocampus 24 h after injury. …”

Downregulation of <i>CYP17A1</i> by 20-hydroxyecdysone: plasma progesterone and its vasodilatory properties by Maneera Y Aljaber (18278971)

“…Conclusion: In the short term, 20-hydroxyecdysone mediates CYP17A1 downregulation without a significant increase in plasma progesterone, which has a vasodilatory effect involving inhibition of voltage-dependent calcium channels, and the potential to enhance 20-hydroxyecdysone vasorelaxation.…”

The Anti-Tumor Agent Sodium Selenate Decreases Methylated PP2A, Increases GSK3βY216 Phosphorylation, Including Tau Disease Epitopes and Reduces Neuronal Excitability in SHSY-5Y Neu... by Wesal Habbab (17346961)

“…Somewhat surprisingly, the catalytically active form, methylated PP2A (mePP2A) was significantly decreased. In close correlation to these data, the phosphorylation state of two substrate proteins, sensitive to PP2A activity, GSK3β and Tau were found to be increased. …”

The molecular mechanisms of apoptosis accompanied with the epigenetic regulation of the NY-ESO-1 antigen in non-small lung cancer cells treated with decitabine (5-aza-CdR) by Varghese P. Inchakalody (14557382)

“…Bisulfite-sequencing demonstrated 45.6% demethylation efficiency at the NY-ESO-1 gene promoter region and RT-qPCR analysis confirmed the significant induction of NY-ESO-1 at mRNA level (128-fold increase, *p < 0.050). …”

A lipidomic screen of hyperglycemia-treated HRECs links 12/15-Lipoxygenase to microvascular dysfunction during diabetic retinopathy via NADPH oxidase by Ahmed S. Ibrahim (10049522)

“…LC/MS lipidomic screen of human retinal endothelial cells (HRECs) demonstrated that 15-HETE was the only significantly increased metabolite (2.4 ± 0.4-fold, <i>P</i> = 0.0004) by high glucose (30 mM) treatment. …”
