Reactive oxygen species favors Varicellovirus bovinealpha 5 (BoAHV-5) replication in neural cells.

Varicellovirus bovinealpha (BoAHV) 1 and 5 are closely related neurotropic alphaherpesviruses with distinct neuropathogenic potential. BoAHV-5 causes meningoencephalitis in calves whereas encephalitis by BoAHV-1 infection is sporadic. the mechanisms underlying the differences in tropism and clinical outcomes of the infections are not yet completely understood.

Omics Biology in Diagnosis of Diseases: Towards Empowering Genomic Medicine from an Evolutionary Perspective.

In this section, we reintroduce the original aims and scope of the Special Issue entitled "Omics Biology in Diagnosis of Diseases: Advances in Bioinformatics and Data Analyses", enabling readers to find an appropriate framing for the remainder of the present closing editorial [...

Facts, Dogmas, and Unknowns About Mitochondrial Reactive Oxygen Species in Cancer.

Cancer metabolism is sustained both by enhanced aerobic glycolysis, characteristic of the Warburg phenotype, and oxidative metabolism. Cell survival and proliferation depends on a dynamic equilibrium between mitochondrial function and glycolysis, which is heterogeneous between tumors and even within the same tumor. During oxidative phosphorylation, electrons from NADH and FADH originated in the tricarboxylic acid cycle flow through complexes of the electron transport chain.

Morphogenesis and functional aspects of the muscular layer of the middle deep cervical fascia in humans.

Background: In recent years, the fasciae of the human body have received significant attention because of their crucial role in the transmission of muscle force. However, studies on the development of the fasciae, particularly the cervical fascia, remain scarce.

Purpose: This study was performed to examine the development of the fascia of the infrahyoid strap muscles, also known as the middle layer of the deep cervical fascia (MDCF), in 17 human embryos aged 6-8 weeks and 20 human foetuses aged 9-14 weeks.

Antibacterial activity of withanolides, labdane glucosides, flavonoids and other constituents from two populations of Physalis patula.

Two populations of Physalis patula Miller collected in different localities (Querétaro and Teotihuacán) of Central México were analyzed. Eight new compounds including three withanolides, physapatolides A-C (1-3), two labdanes, 12-epi-physacoztomatin (10) and physapatulone (12), besides three 12-O-glucosyl labdanes, patulosides A-C (13-15), were isolated from these collections. A series of known withanolides, flavonoids, labdanes, sucrose esters, and sterols were also isolated.
