Opposing regulation of endoplasmic reticulum retention under stress by ERp44 and PDIA6.

Conditions of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress reduce protein synthesis by provoking translation regulation, governed by the eIF2α kinase PERK. When PERK is inhibited during ER stress, retention of a selective subset of glycoproteins occurs, a phenomenon we termed selective ER retention (sERr). sERr clients are enriched with tyrosine kinase receptors (RTKs), which form large molecular weight disulfide bonded complexes in the ER.

Sensor-based precision nutrient and irrigation management enhances the physiological performance, water productivity, and yield of soybean under system of crop intensification.

Sensor-based decision tools provide a quick assessment of nutritional and physiological health status of crop, thereby enhancing the crop productivity. Therefore, a 2-year field study was undertaken with precision nutrient and irrigation management under system of crop intensification (SCI) to understand the applicability of sensor-based decision tools in improving the physiological performance, water productivity, and seed yield of soybean crop. The experiment consisted of three irrigation regimes [I: standard flood irrigation at 50% depletion of available soil moisture (DASM) (FI), I: sprinkler irrigation at 80% ET (crop evapo-transpiration) (Spr 80% ET), and I: sprinkler irrigation at 60% ET (Spr 60% ET)] assigned in main plots, with five precision nutrient management (PNM) practices{PNM-[SCI protocol], PNM-[RDF, recommended dose of fertilizer: basal dose incorporated (50% N, full dose of P and K)], PNM-[RDF: basal dose point placement (BDP) (50% N, full dose of P and K)], PNM-[75% RDF: BDP (50% N, full dose of P and K)] and PNM-[50% RDF: BDP (50% N, full P and K)]} assigned in sub-plots using a split-plot design with three replications.

The medicinal panorama of benzimidazoles and their scaffolds as anticancer and antithrombotic agents: A review.

Nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffolds have become a prospective pharmacophore with therapeutic importance due to their biological similarities with natural and synthetic drugs. Among all nitrogen heterocyclic compounds, benzimidazoles and their derivatives are privileged molecules structurally akin to naturally available nucleotides, enabling them to intercommunicate with numerous biopolymers in biological systems. This reason enlightens modern researchers worldwide to assess their potential significance in the context of synthetic and biological chemistry.

An mTORC1 to HRI signaling axis promotes cytotoxicity of proteasome inhibitors in multiple myeloma.

Multiple myeloma (MM) causes approximately 20% of deaths from blood cancers. Notwithstanding significant therapeutic progress, such as with proteasome inhibitors (PIs), MM remains incurable due to the development of resistance. mTORC1 is a key metabolic regulator, which frequently becomes dysregulated in cancer.

Endoplasmic Reticulum Homeostasis Regulates TLR4 Expression and Signaling in Mast Cells.

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a dynamic organelle that responds to demand in secretory proteins by undergoing expansion. The mechanisms that control the homeostasis of ER size and function involve the activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR). The UPR plays a role in various effector functions of immune cells.

Novel 3D-flower shaped KTaO perovskite for highly efficient photocatalytic and H generation ability.

Treatment of industrial wastewater is one of the biggest challenges that mankind is facing today to prevent environmental pollution and its associated adverse effects on human health. Environmentalists across the world have given a clarion call for dye degradation, wastewater treatment and their effective management in our surrounding habitats. Despite significant progress in the development of new water treatment technologies, new materials haven't matured enough for large scale industrial applications.

Quality Management in Respiratory Care.

The word "quality" refers to the features of a product or service to which a certain value is ascribed. When it comes to hospital-based practices, quality has often been considered to be specific to the care provided. However, this specific perspective is transitioning toward a broader concept after the evolution of quality-improvement projects and quality frameworks at the organizational level.

Biallelic start loss variant, c.1A > G in GCSH is associated with variant nonketotic hyperglycinemia.

The glycine cleavage system H protein (GCSH) is an integral part of the glycine cleavage system with its additional involvement in the synthesis and transport of lipoic acid. We hypothesize that pathogenic variants in GCSH can cause variant nonketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH), a heterogeneous group of disorders with findings resembling a combination of severe NKH (elevated levels of glycine in plasma and CSF, progressive lethargy, seizures, severe hypotonia, no developmental progress, early death) and mitochondriopathies (lactic acidosis, leukoencephalopathy and Leigh-like lesions on MRI). We herein report three individuals from two unrelated Indian families with clinical, biochemical, and radiological findings of variant NKH, harboring a biallelic start loss variant, c.
