Polyclonal antibodies raised to synthetic amino acid sequences of the rat gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABAA) receptor alpha 1-, alpha 2- and alpha 3-subunits selectively recognized single proteins with apparent molecular weight 51 kDa (P51), 53 kDa (P53) and 59 kDa (P59), respectively, in GABAA receptor preparations affinity purified from the brains of 5-10-day-old rats. The antibodies were coupled to Affigel 10, and the resulting immunoaffinity columns were used to isolate these proteins from affinity purified GABAA receptors.

The Munc13/UNC-13 family protein Ync13 is essential for septum integrity and cytokinesis in fission yeast. To further explore the mechanism of Ync13 functions, spontaneous suppressors of mutants, which can suppress the colony-formation defects and lysis phenotype of mutant cells, are isolated and characterized. One of the suppressor mutants, -, shows defects in the cytokinetic contractile ring constriction, septation, and daughter-cell separation, similar to mutant.

Herein, a new metal-free, molecular chlorine-free, environmentally friendly, atom-economical, short time, inexpensive and simple operation method with mild reaction conditions for chlorination of alkenes, cyclic alkenes, ,-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, heteroaromatics, and natural products was reported with up to 96% yields using trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) as the electrophilic chlorine source and TBACl as the nucleophilic chlorine source. It was demonstrated with bicyclic alkene benzonorbornadiene that regioselective chlorobromination and dibromination reactions can be carried out through TCCA/TBABr redox reactions, where TCCA acts as an oxidant in the presence of TBABr. The structures of the redox products were confirmed as a result of control experiments conducted with the newly presented DBI/TBACl and DBI/TBABr halogenation pairs.

Previous research has demonstrated ɑ7nAch receptor (ɑ7nAchR) agonists to provide benefit for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. However, the immunological mechanism of action for these ɑ7nAchR agonists has not been elucidated. Herein, the effect of GTS-21, a selective ɑ7nAchR agonist, on the differentiation of Th17 and Th2 cells was assessed.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of LSG on weight loss and inflammation status in bariatric patients 1-year post-procedure.
Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted from September 2022 to May 2024.
Laryngocutaneous fistula is one of the most important complications encountered after larynx surgery. Stem cell therapy is a promising treatment approach for the future, both without the need for surgical methods and by assisting surgical methods to close the fistula. 30 female Downey Sprague rats were divided into 5 separate groups and pharyngocutaneous fistula was created.
