Abstract

GH exerts its biological actions on osteoblasts through a specific high affinity receptor expressed on these cells. GH receptor binding is positively modulated by a number of factors, including retinoic acid and dexamethasone, whereas fetal calf serum strongly decreases the binding. To identify responsible factors in serum, components of serum, the insulin-like growth factors (IGFs)-I and -II, and IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs)-2 and -3 were tested for a possible negative modulatory role. IGF-I and -II decreased [125I]hGH binding at an optimal concentration of 30 ng/ml for IGF-I and 100 ng/ml IGF-II, reducing the binding to 51% and 55%, respectively, of control values. A stimulation of [125I]hGH binding was observed with IGFBP-2 as well as IGFBP-3, inducing an increase to 148% and 151% of control binding at an optimal concentration of 3000 ng/ml for both peptides. The effects of all peptides were dependent on the incubation time, being significantly increased after 8 h of incubation and reaching the full effect thereafter. The effects were declined at 24 h compared with 16 h for IGFBP-2 and -3 but not for IGF-I and -II. Coincubation of the cells with IGF-I and -II and IGFBP-2 and -3 neutralized the effects of the factors alone. ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
