In silico and in vivo models for Qatari-Specific classical homocystinuria as basis for development of novel therapies. by Ismail, Hesham M

“…Wildtype CBS, but not the p.R336C mutant, was able to restore the yeast growth in ΔCBS deficient yeast in a complementation assay. The p.R336C knock-in HEK293T and HepG2 cells decreased the level of CBS expression and reduce its structural stability; however, treatment of the p.R336C knock-in HEK293T cells with betaine, a chemical chaperone, restored the stability and tetrameric conformation of CBS, but not its activity. …”

Western and ketogenic diets in neurological disorders: can you tell the difference? by Habashy, Karl John

“…Here, we discuss the principles of brain metabolism with a focus on the distinct effects of the Western and ketogenic diets on the progression of neurological diseases such as epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and traumatic brain injury, highlighting the need to further explore the potential therapeutic effects of the ketogenic diet and the importance of standardizing dietary formulations to assure the reproducibility of clinical trials.…”

Impacts of rural tourism-driven land use change on ecosystems services provision in Erhai Lake Basin, China by Li, Jinghui

“…With these land changes, ecosystem services also changed greatly, to the detriment of ELB as a whole and especially the lakeside zone. By 2015, soil retention had decreased and nitrogen and soil export had increased, compared with the levels in 2000, while there was only a slight fluctuation in carbon storage and water yield. …”

The effects of oxygen concentration on in vitro output of prostaglandin E2 and interleukin-6 from human fetal membranes. by Al-Asmakh, Maha

“…The main sources are the fetal membranes, including the amnion, chorion and decidua, and it is well established that stimuli [bacteria, bacterial endotoxins, interleukin (IL)-1beta, corticotrophin releasing hormone and platelet activating factor], as well as negative regulators (progesterone and IL-10), control the net output of PGs and cytokines in vitro. In this study, we have investigated the effect of oxygen tension on fetal membrane biology, as a reconsideration of the literature suggests that fetal membranes are normally exposed to approximately 3% O(2) (approximately 20 mmHg) in vivo, rather than the 20% O(2) (150 mmHg) used for in vitro culture. …”
