PSN-357, an effective glycogen phosphorylase (GP) inhibitor for the treatment for type 2 diabetics, is hampered in its clinical use by the poor selectivity between the GP isoforms in liver and in skeletal muscle. In this study, by the introduction of cholic acid, 9 novel potent and liver-targeted conjugates of PSN-357 were obtained. Among these conjugates, conjugate 6 exhibited slight GP inhibi...

However, Information Communication Technology (ICT) could serve as a game changer to empower women startup entrepreneurs. The acceptance usage of Mobile ICT operations more women-led Micro, Small Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) grow fulfill customer needs wants. there is lack established models measure mo...

GPR15 is an orphan G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that serves for an HIV coreceptor and was also recently found as a novel homing receptor for T-cells implicated in colitis. We show that GPR15 undergoes a constitutive endocytosis in the absence of ligand. The endocytosis was clathrin dependent and partially dependent on β-arrestin in HEK293 cells, and nearly half of the internalized GPR15 re...

We use the radio ring in JVAS B0218+357 to constrain the mass models with LensCLEAN. H0 is determined from the resulting model and the time delay. B0218+357 is one of the best systems to reduce systematic errors in H0 and may thus be called a “golden lens”.

The effects of herbivorous zooplankton on the sedimentation of particles out of the euphotic zone are examined with mathematical models, a large-scale field experiment, and descriptive data from a eutrophic lake. The theory is rooted in the population dynamics of phytoplankton and zooplankton and so explicitly accounts for the potential effect of zooplankton grazing on primary production and th...

Eucalyptus obliqua, the most widespread timber tree in Tasmania, is a pioneer after fire which can eliminate the organic layer of forest soil, exposing the underlying mineral soil. We compared seedling growth, mycorrhiza formation, and mineral nutrient limitation in organic layer vs. mineral soil. We grew E. obliqua seedlings separately in pots of organic layer and mineral soil in a glasshouse....
