Malic enzymes (ME) catalyze the decarboxylation of malate generating pyruvate, CO2 and NADH or NADPH.In some organisms it has been Caddies/Cart established that ME is involved in lipids biosynthesis supplying carbon skeletons and reducing power.In this work we studied the MEs of soybean and castor, metabolically different oilseeds.The comparison of
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a complex multi-target disease with an unmet medical need for the development of therapies that slow and potentially revert disease progression.Intra-articular (IA) delivery has seen a surge in osteoarthritis research in recent years.As local fiesta® SKULL AND VINE administration of molecules, this represents a way to circum
In Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV)-infected tobacco plants carrying the N resistance gene, a hypersensitive Smoothing Treatment reaction or response (HR) occurs to enclose the virus in the infected tissue.Although a contribution of peroxidases to the resistance has been proposed, no evidence has been presented that tobacco peroxidase genes respond to HR
Magnetorheological (MR) fluid devices are widely used in active automotive control applications.However, MR fluid-based valve actuators are not in the limelight.This paper proposes a new flexible valve train with an MR fluid control system; the valve train fiesta® SKULL AND VINE can enhance the performance of internal combustion engines.A major co
Voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels regulate the membrane potential and conductance of excitable cells to control the firing rate and waveform of action potentials.Even though Kv channels have been intensely studied for over 70 year, surprisingly little is known about how specific channels expressed in various neurons and their functional propert
