The Role of RNA Secondary Structure in Regulation of Gene Expression in Bacteria.

Due to the high exposition to changing environmental conditions, bacteria have developed many mechanisms enabling immediate adjustments of gene expression. In many cases, the required speed and plasticity of the response are provided by RNA-dependent regulatory mechanisms. This is possible due to the very high dynamics and flexibility of an RNA structure, which provide the necessary sensitivity and specificity for efficient sensing and transduction of environmental signals.

LuluDB-The Database Created Based on Small RNA, Transcriptome, and Degradome Sequencing Shows the Wide Landscape of Non-coding and Coding RNA in Yellow Lupine ( L.) Flowers and Pods.

Yellow lupine ( L.) belongs to a legume family that benefits from symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Its seeds are rich in protein, which makes it a valuable food source for animals and humans.

The Role of Apelin in Cardiovascular Diseases, Obesity and Cancer.

Apelin is an endogenous peptide identified as a ligand of the G protein-coupled receptor APJ. Apelin belongs to the family of adipokines, which are bioactive mediators released by adipose tissue. Extensive tissue distribution of apelin and its receptor suggests, that it could be involved in many physiological processes including regulation of blood pressure, body fluid homeostasis, endocrine stress response, cardiac contractility, angiogenesis, and energy metabolism.

[The role of 2,3-DPG in nerve conduction of children with type 1 diabetes].

Background: Neuropathy is one of the chronic complications of diabetes, and it is uncommon in children and adolescents. It can be recognized in a short period after the onset of diabetes and not always is connected with poor metabolic control. Hypoxia is considered as one from greatest factors diabetic neuropathy and oxygen transport to tissue partially depends on the diphosphoglycerate (2,3 DPG) concentration.

[Metabolic control in young children with type 1 diabetes treated with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (insulin pump)].

Unlabelled: Intensive insulin therapy is a method of choice in the management of patients with type 1 diabetes. Its administration in the youngest children is limited by little or no acceptance of multiple injections and a typical fear of needles and syringes. In recent years more and more frequently the method of multiple daily injections (MDI) of insulin is being replaced by the method of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) even in the youngest children.
