Molecular insights into signalling mechanisms within TGF-β superfamily
… involved in embryonic development, adult tissue homeostatis and reproduction. A great deal is known about the structural biology of the TGF-β superfamily, however the absence of the full-length receptor-ligand complex structure is hindering our understanding of the conformational changes that are …

INTRA-MITOCHONDRIAL INJURY DURING ISCHEMIA-REPERFUSION
… to decrease cardiac injury. In order to maintain homeostatis, living organisms have the methionine sulfoxide reductase system, which reduce both free and protein bound Met(O) back to methionine (Met) in the presence of thioredoxin. Oxidized Trx is inactive and unable to bind to ASK1 thereby …

Molecular and functional differentiation of murine macrophage subtypes
… inflammation related immune responses and tissue homeostatis, thus classified as M1 macrophage according to Mantovani and colleagues (Mantovani et al. 2004). My original hypothesis held that ES macrophages should be non-inflammatory and predominantly involved in apoptotic cell clearing and tissue …

Neuromolecular basis of anomalous feeding behaviour in the valproate rat model of autism
… that VPA rats display not only altered energy homeostatis processing (as shown in Specific Aim 1), but also indicate changes in the regulation of eating for palatability. Considering the abnormal OT signalling in autism and the fact that OT decreases feeding for energy and feeding for …

The role of PYY in regulating energy balance and glucose homeostasis
Peptide YY (PYY) is a gut-derived hormone that is renowned for its effects on satiety. Reduced satiety in obese people has been attributed to low fasting and postprandial PYY levels. However, it has not been determined whether low PYY levels are the cause or the outcome of obesity. Moreover, the …
