In dogs with experimental myocardial infarction the anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery was ligated and 1, 2, 3, 5, and 10 days later its circumflex branch was catheterized and perfused, and coronary circulation in the intact myocardial zone, systemic hemodynamics, the AMP content and the activity of enzymes catalysing adenosine metabolism were studied. In the intact myocardial zone resistance increases in the coronary vessels and neurohumoral regulation is disturbed, the beta-adrenergic and cholinergic reactions of dilation are weakened, alpha-adrenergic pressor effect of catecholamines on the cardiac vessels is manifested, and adenosine metabolism is disturbed. Disorders of adenosine metabolism are regarded among the possible mechanisms of coronary circulatory disorders in the intact zone of the myocardium.

Microorganisms tend to accumulate on surfaces, forming aggregates such as biofilms, which grant them resistance to various environmental stressors and antimicrobial agents. This ability has hindered the effective treatment of diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms, including Salmonella, which is responsible for a significant number of deaths worldwide. This study aimed to compare the metabolic profiles of planktonic and sessile cells of Salmonella Enteritidis using a metabolomics approach.

P2X7 is an extracellular adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP)-gated cation channel that plays various roles in inflammation and immunity. P2X7 is present on peripheral blood monocytes, dendritic cells (DCs), and innate and adaptive lymphocytes. The anti-human P2X7 monoclonal antibody (mAb; clone L4), used for immunolabelling P2X7 or blocking P2X7 activity, is a murine IgG2 antibody, but its ability to mediate complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) is unknown.

Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most commonly diagnosed primary malignant bone tumor in children and adolescents. Despite significant advancements in therapeutic strategies against OS over the past few decades, the prognosis for this disease remains poor, largely due to its high invasiveness and challenges associated with its treatment. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification is one of the most abundant epigenetic modifications of RNAs, and many studies have highlighted its crucial role in OS.

-methyladenosine (mA) in eukaryotic RNA is an epigenetic modification that is critical for RNA metabolism, gene expression regulation, and the development of organisms. Aberrant expression of mA components appears in a variety of human diseases. RNA mA modification in has proven to be involved in sex determination regulated by and may affect X chromosome expression through the MSL complex.

Adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette (ABC) transporters form a ubiquitous superfamily of integral membrane proteins involved in the translocation of substrates across membranes. Human ABC transporters are closely linked to the pathogenesis of diseases such as cancer, metabolic diseases, and Alzheimer's disease. In this study, four ABC transporters were chosen based on (I) their importance in humans and (II) their score in a structural bioinformatics screen aimed at the prediction of crystallisation propensity.
