 In the previous article, I mentioned about how omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) affect the T cell signaling in which I have described n-3 PUFAs mediated T cell Receptor activation and downstream signaling. Now, I will describe how omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids affect T cell …

 Researchers have found a molecular link between the omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) and signaling involved in the T cell (T lymphocytes) maturation and differentiation. T lymphocytes such as CD4+ cells are the immune cells that circulate throughout the body and defend the host organism …

 Protein Data Bank or PDB is an online computer-based directory that contains the crystal structure of biological macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids along with the supplementary information about the source of the macromolecule and how it was obtained, resolution of the diffraction data and …

 Angiotensin II from Angiotensinogen Angiotensin is a group of peptide hormones that contains mainly four types; I, II, III, and IV. However, the biologically active form is angiotensin II. All of these are produced from the single precursor protein angiotensinogen in different steps. Angiotensinogen is a …

 PDA or pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma belongs to the class of pancreatic cancer that represents the second most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide. It is found that more than 95 % of the patients with PDA harbor activating mutations in the Kirsten Rat Sarcoma Viral Oncogene …

 Researchers have found a new approach treating growth factor receptor (FGFR4) associated cancer that recruits STAT3 and activate and express cell growth and proliferation-associated genes. All human beings have 99.9% similar genetic material, but they have 0.1% dissimilar genetic makeup. Yes! Only a 0.1 % difference …

 A team of researchers performed quantitation of N-glycans from the human alfa-acid glycoprotein (haGP) that revealed N-glycans as potential biomarkers for pancreatic cancer. hAGP is an N-linked glycoprotein (single polypeptide) with 183 amino acids and molecular weight 41 kDa. hAGP contains about 45 % of carbohydrate …
