Study reveals new insight into neurobiological procedures that control medicate related adjustments Kumar Jeetendra | July 10, 2020 This molecular atlas is”a previously unachieved degree of cellular resolution for cocaine-mediated receptor regulation in this area,” said Day, an associate professor in the UAB Department of Neurobiology. The atlas was only the launch of a significant study, published in the journal Science Advances, which utilized multiple cutting-edge technologies to spell out a more dopamine-induced …
UH scientist attempting to recognize likely new therapeutic target for kidney sickness Kumar Jeetendra | January 14, 2021 In the past year, high serum suPAR levels also have been found to predict kidney and multiple organ failure in hospitalized patients with COVID-19. “FSGS is a particularly insidious kidney disease. In many patients, it inexorably leads to kidney failure and we don’t have much to offer to stop it, and worse still, in most …
Compounds in green and black tea relax blood vessels by activating ion channel proteins Kumar Jeetendra | March 9, 2021 A new study from the University of California, Irvine shows that chemicals in both black and green tea relax blood vessels by activating ion channel proteins in the blood vessel wall. The discovery helps explain the antihypertensive properties of tea and could lead to the design of new blood pressure-lowering medications. Released in Cellular Physiology …
Researchers examine signal necrotic cells that prompt phagocytic cells to overwhelm the dying cell Kumar Jeetendra | May 8, 2021 As people keep their homes clean and clutter in check, a crew of cells within the body is in charge of clearing the waste that the body generates, including cells that are dying. The housekeeping cells remove unwanted material by a process called phagocytosis, which literally means’eating cells’ “Phagocytosis is quite important for the body’s …
Scientists distinguish new compound that may forestall heart arrhythmia risk from basic drugs Kumar Jeetendra | May 16, 2021 Dozens of commonly used drugs, including antibiotics, antinausea and anticancer medications, have a potential side effect of lengthening the electrical event that causes regeneration, creating an irregular heartbeat, or cardiac arrhythmia called acquired Long QT syndrome. While safe in their current dosages, some of these drugs might have a more therapeutic benefit at higher doses, …
