Pruritic rash secondary to cendakimab, an investigative IL-13 inhibitor

We describe an experimental setup for administrating hyperpolarized 13C-labeled metabolites in continuous perfusion mode to an isolated perfused mouse heart. A dedicated 13C-NMR acquisition approach enabled the quantification of metabolic enzyme activity in real-time, and a multiparametric 31P-NMR analysis enabled the determination of the tissue ATP content and...

The developed method of 13C6-Glucose labeling combined with liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry is versatile and lays the foundation for future studies on the primary organs and pathways involved in the synthesis of secondary metabolites in medicinal plants, as well as the comprehensive utilization of these secondary...

One example of how cells use the energy contained in electrochemical gradients is demonstrated by glucose transport into cells. The ion vital to this process is sodium (Na+), which is typically present in higher concentrations extracellularly than in the cytosol. Such a concentration difference is due, in part, to the action of an enzyme “pump” embedded in the cellular membrane that actively expels Na+ from a cell. Importantly, as this pump contributes to the high concentration of...

Certain biochemical processes, such as embryonic development and cell growth regulation, depend on the repression of specific genes. DNA binding proteins known as eukaryotic transcription inhibitors regulate the repression of gene expression in eukaryotes. The presence of these inhibitors at the required location and time in the cell is triggered by the presence of hormones and additional signals from other cells.
Eukaryotic transcription inhibitors usually contain two distinct domains, a...

Secondary healthcare is offered by a specialist, generally in hospitals or clinics for patients referred by primary healthcare providers. It occurs when a person has an illness or injury that requires specific medical care. Secondary care is often referred to as acute care. Secondary care can range from uncomplicated care to repair a minor laceration or treat a strep throat infection to more complicated emergent care, such as treating a head injury sustained in an automobile accident. Whatever...

Vascular plants, which account for over 90% of the Earth’s vegetation, all undergo primary growth—which lengthens roots and shoots. Many land plants, notably woody plants, also undergo secondary growth—which thickens roots and shoots.
