TRPC6 counteracts TRPC3-Nox2 protein complex leading to attenuation of hyperglycemia-induced heart failure in mice

Abstract Excess production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) caused by hyperglycemia is a major risk factor for heart failure.We previously reported that transient receptor potential canonical 3 (TRPC3) channel mediates pressure overload-induced maladaptive cardiac fibrosis by forming stably functional complex with NADPH oxidase 2 (Nox2).Although TR

Genome, secretome and glucose transport highlight unique features of the protein production host Pichia pastoris

Abstract Background Pichia pastoris is widely used as a production platform for heterologous proteins and model organism for organelle proliferation.Without a published genome sequence available, strain and process development relied mainly on analogies to other, well studied yeasts like Saccharomyces cerevisiae.Results To investigate specific feat

The stomatogastric nervous system as a model for studying sensorimotor interactions in real-time closed-loop conditions

The perception of proprioceptive signals that report the internal state of the Tie Back body is one of the essential tasks of the nervous system and helps to continuously adapt body movements to changing circumstances.Despite the impact of proprioceptive feedback on motor activity it has rarely been studied in conditions in which motor output and s
