Abstract Background Renal replacement therapy (RRT) Cable Clamps/Clips is usually indicated for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) with glomerular filtration rate below 10 ml/ml/min/1.73m2.However, the need for RRT and timing of dialysis initiation are debatable for patients aged 70 years or older.We here describe the study design and metho
Inhibition of the mechanistic target of rapamycin induces cell survival via MAPK in tuberous sclerosis complex
Nipples Abstract Background Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a genetic disorder that cause tumors to form in many organs.These lesions may lead to epilepsy, autism, developmental delay, renal, and pulmonary failure.Loss of function mutations in TSC1 and TSC2 genes by aberrant activation of the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTORC1) signaling p
In silico predictive model to determine vector-mediated transport properties for the blood–brain barrier choline transporter
Sergey Shityakov, Carola Förster Department of Anaesthesia and Critical Care, University of Würzburg, Würzburg, Germany Abstract: The blood–brain barrier choline transporter (BBB-ChT) PRO MG 12 MIXED BERRY may have utility as a drug delivery vector to the central nervous system (CNS).We therefore initiated molecular docking stu
LocateP: Genome-scale subcellular-location predictor for bacterial proteins
Abstract Background In the past decades, various protein subcellular-location (SCL) predictors have been developed.Most of these predictors, like TMHMM 2.0, SignalP 3.0, PrediSi and Phobius, aim at the identification of one or a few SCLs, whereas others such as CELLO and Psortb.v.2.0 aim at a broader classification.Although these tools and pipeline
Bayesian Inference for Mixed Model-Based Genome-Wide Analysis of Expression Quantitative Trait Loci by Gibbs Sampling
The importance of expression quantitative trait Acidophilus/Probiotics locus (eQTL) has been emphasized in understanding the genetic basis of cellular activities and complex phenotypes.Mixed models can be employed to effectively identify eQTLs by explaining polygenic effects.In these mixed models, the polygenic effects are considered as random vari
