AMPK Activation Attenuates Albumin-induced Alterations in Renal Tubular Cells In Vitro by Allouch, Soumaya

“…In contrast, metformin co-treatment restored the levels of phosphorylated AMPK, and suppressed activation of AKT and P70S6K in NRK-52E cells exposed to albumin. Notably, metformin also prevented albumin-induced EMT; this was marked by a 50% decrease in a-SMA and a 60% increase in E-cadherin expression. …”

Unveiling into Genetic Architecture of Transgenerational Stress Memory via Promoting Drought Tolerance in Barley by Alqudah, Ahmad M.

“…This QTN is responsible for regulating the variance in shoot weight (SP FW) and dry weight (DW) and is controlled by the E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase RNF123. Interestingly, E3s participate in dehydration-responsive element-binding protein 2 A (DREB2A) that mediates stress signaling, including drought. …”
