Safety assessment and antioxidant activity of Lantana montevidensis leaves: Contribution to its phytochemical and pharmacological activity
Lantana camara, the widely studied species, and L. montevidensis, the less studied species of the genus Lantana are both used in traditional medicine for the same purpose (anti-asthma, anti-ulcer, anti-tumor, etc). However, little is known about the toxicity of L. montevidensis and there is limited information on its chemical constituents. Here, we investigated for the first time the genotoxici...
متن کاملSignal transduction: Wnt signalling shows its versatility
Signalling between cells plays a major role in the elaboration of cell types and tissues, triggering cell fate decisions that are critical in development. A number of pathways have been identified that appear time and again in different contexts. One good example is the pathway that first came to light with the identification of wingless mutant fruitflies. The Drosophila Wingless protein is now...
متن کاملSignal transduction: Clamping down on Src activity
Recent high-resolution structures of members of the Src family of protein-tyrosine kinases illustrate how a series of cooperative intramolecular interactions represses the catalytic activity of these kinases, but allows for their rapid activation by a variety of regulatory inputs.
متن کاملSignal transduction.
This issue of Breast Disease focuses on the subject of signal transduction and its role in the pathogenesis and progression of human breast cancer. Within the past 10 years, the explosion in our knowledge of these processes has significantly altered our understanding of breast cancer, and resulted in the first receptor-based therapies. This issue examines a variety of relevant signaling pathway...
متن کاملCollagenolytic activity of Vibrio vulnificus: potential contribution to its invasiveness.
Vibrio vulnificus (lactose-positive vibrio) produced collagenase when grown in 2% synthetic sea salts supplemented with hydrolyzed casein. The addition of collagen or peptone to the medium increased the level of collagenase production. Collagenase activity was inhibited by EDTA but not by fetal calf serum.
