Neurotrophins are a family of proteins that induce the survival,[1] development, and function[2] of neurons. They belong to a class of growth factors, secreted proteins that are capable of signa...

Nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2, also known as NFE2L2 or Nrf2, is a transcription factor that in humans is encoded by the NFE2L2 gene.[1] Nrf2 is a basic leucine zipper (bZIP) protein t...
Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have a negative effect on health, leading to reduced life expectancy and/or increased health proble...
Microfluidics is a multidisciplinary field intersecting engineering, physics, chemistry, biochemistry, nanotechnology, and biotechnology, with practical applications to the design of systems in whi...
Ligands for metal ions
A fluoropolymer is a fluorocarbon-based polymer with multiple strong carbon–fluorine bonds. It is characterized by a high resistance to solvents, acids, and bases.
Nanoscale particle formation
A CT scan, also called X-ray computed tomography (X-ray CT) or computerized axial tomography scan (CAT scan),[1] makes use of computer-processed combinations of many X-ray images taken from differe...
Most common signs of choline deficiencies are fatty liver and hemorrhagic kidney necrosis. Consuming a choline-rich diet will relieve the deficiency symptoms. A study of this on animals has created...
Post-translational modification (PTM) refers to the covalent and generally enzymatic modification of proteins during or after protein biosynthesis. Proteins are synthesized by ribosomes translating...
The drugs clopidogrel (Plavix), prasugrel (Efient, Effient) and ticagrelor (Brilinta) bind to this receptor and are marketed as antiplatelet agents.[3] P2Y12 inhibitors do not change the risk of...
Stem cells are undifferentiated biological cells that can differentiate into specialized cells and can divide (through mitosis) to produce more stem cells. They are found in multicellular organisms...
The tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily (TNFRSF) is a group of cytokine receptors characterized by the ability to bind tumor necrosis factors (TNFs) via an extracellular cysteine-rich domain...
A relaxase is a single-strand DNA transesterase enzyme produced by some prokaryotes and viruses. Relaxases are responsible for site- and strand-specific nicks in double-stranded DNA. Known relaxase...
A progenitor cell is a biological cell that, like a stem cell, has a tendency to differentiate into a specific type of cell, but is already more specific than a stem cell and is pushed to different...
