Abscisic acid (ABA) plays a crucial role in the plant responses to environmental signals, in particular by triggering secondary metabolism. High-altitude vineyards in Mendoza, Argentina, are exposed to elevated solar ...

The Polo-like kinases (Plks) are an evolutionary conserved family of Ser/Thr protein kinases that possess, in addition to the classical kinase domain at the N-terminus, a C-terminal polo-box domain (PBD) that binds to ...

The human body harbors a multitude of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, archaea, and viruses, which exist in a symbiotic relationship with their host. The entirety of these commensals is referred to as the microbiota, ...

We have developed a spatial light modulator (SLM) based microscope that uses diffraction to shape the incoming two-photon laser source to any arbitrary light pattern. This allows the simultaneous imaging or photostimulation ...

Dietary phenolic compounds are plant metabolites with beneficial effects on the central nervous system. Thus, our aim was to identify anti-inflammatory compounds from South American plants on glia, which regulates neuro-immune ...

Plants have emerged as a valuable source for neuroprotective compounds like flavonoids. These polyphenolic com pounds decrease neurotoxicity and the development of neurodegeneration. Potentiation of α7 nicotinic receptor, ...

Type I Interferons (IFNs-I) are species-specific glycoproteins which play an important role as primary defence against viral infections and that can also modulate the adaptive immune system. In some autoimmune diseases, ...

Enhancement of α7 nicotinic receptor (nAChR) function by positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) is a promising therapeutic strategy to improve cognitive deficits. PAMs have been classified only on the basis of their macroscopic ...

Phallus atrovolvatus is a wild edible mushroom which is recently being cultivated in Thailand. It contains a remarkable amount of β-(1,3–1,6)-glucan, a compound known for its immune modulating properties. Crude mushroom ...
