Divergent Biochemical Properties and Disparate Impact of Arrhythmogenic Calmodulin Mutations on Zebrafish Cardiac Function حسب Sahar I. Da'as (17128747)

"…In cardiac muscle, CaM modulates directly or indirectly the activity of several proteins that play a key role in excitation‐contraction coupling (ECC), such as ryanodine receptor type 2 (RyR2), l‐type Ca²⁺ (Ca_v1.2), sodium (NaV1.5) and potassium (KV7.1) channels. …"

Angiotensin II AT1 receptor internalization, translocation and de novo synthesis modulate cytosolic and nuclear calcium in human vascular smooth muscle cells حسب Sleiman, S.

"…Overexpression of hAT1R and hAT1R GFP decreased both basal cytosolic and nuclear Ca2+. In normal hVSMCs and low hAT1R GFP overexpressing hVSMCs, Ang II (10 15 to 10 4 M) induced a dose-dependent sustained increase of [Ca]c and [Ca]n with an EC50 near 5 × 10 11 and 5 × 10 9 M, respectively. …"

Phase state of secondary organic aerosol in chamber photo-oxidation of mixed precursors حسب Yu Wang (12152)

"…Liquid (bounce fraction; BF < 0.2) at RH > 80 % and nonliquid behaviour (BF > 0.8) at RH < 30 % were observed, with a liquid-to-nonliquid transition with decreasing RH between 30 % and 80 %. This RH-dependent phase behaviour (RH_{BF=0.2, 0.5, 0.8}) increased towards a maximum, with an increasing organic–inorganic mass ratio (MR_org_/inorg) during SOA formation evolution in all investigated VOC systems. …"

In vitro ischemia suppresses hypoxic induction of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α by inhibition of synthesis and not enhanced degradation حسب Sleiman, Sama F.

"…We observed ATP depletion under OGD vs. hypoxia and propose that ATP depletion enhances translational suppression, overcoming the selective synthesis of HIF concurrent with global decreases in protein synthesis in hypoxia. Taken together, these findings biochemically characterize a practical reporter for monitoring HIF-1α levels and support a novel model for HIF regulation in an in vitro model of human ischemia.…"

Reply to Comments by Kakkar and Dahiya حسب Chahine, Elias B.

"…TO THE EDITOR: Chahine, Karaoui, and Mansour1 reviewed the efficacy and safety of bedaquiline in the treatment of adults with pulmonary multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and generally agree with the comments made by Kakkar and Dahiya.2 Bedaquiline was approved by the Food and Drug Administration based largely on results from phase 2 studies using sputum conversion as a surrogate marker for efficacy rather than long-term mortality data.2 Bedaquiline was shown to be associated with an unfavorable side effect profile, including an unexplained increased risk of mortality, QT prolongation, and elevated liver function tests.2 However, it is important to acknowledge that bedaquiline is the first novel drug to be approved for the treatment of TB in more than 4 decades and the communities devastated by MDR-TB are in desperate need for more options to manage their patients. …"
