In several neurodegenerative diseases of the CNS, oligodendrocytes are implicated in an inflammatory process associated with altered levels of oxysterols and inflammatory enzymes such as secreted phospholipase A2 (sPLA2). In view of the scarce literature related to this topic, we investigated oxysterol effects on these myelinating glial cells. Natural ...

They have been shown to be implicated in cholesterol turnover, inflammation and in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis. Glial cells are targets of oxysterols: they inhibit astrocyte proliferation after brain injury, and we have previously shown that 25-hydroxycholesterol (25OH) provokes ...

Using numerical simulations, we compare properties of knotted DNA molecules that are either torsionally relaxed or supercoiled.

The increased curvature of knotted regions is expected to make them preferential substrates of ...
In enteric bacteria, chromosomally encoded permeases specific for lactose, maltose, and melibiose are allosterically regulated by the glucose-specific enzyme IIA of the phosphotransferase system.

Synthetic diamond radiation detectors made of ultrahigh-purity type IIa diamond crystals were developed. The diamond crystals, which were grown by high-pressure and high-temperature synthesis, contained less nitrogen impurity than 0.1 ppm, i.e., 1/10 of conventional type IIa diamond crystals. Since the ...
The choice of treatment in carcinoma of the cervix is best decided after careful individual appraisal has been carried out.

Skeletal muscle responds to exercise by activation of signaling pathways that coordinate gene expression to sustain muscle performance. MEF2-dependent transcriptional activation of myosin heavy chain (MHC) genes promotes the transformation from fast-twitch into slow-twitch fibers, with MEF2 activity being tightly regulated by interaction with class IIa HDACs. Protein kinase D ...

Then, we discuss spinning closed string solutions in the UV limit of the Klebanov-Tseytlin background, and also properties ...
We construct an action for an unstable M3-brane in M theory. We argue that, in order to find M3-brane action that upon direct dimensional reduction leads to non-Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield D3-brane action in type IIA theory, we have to presume that the background possesses Killing isometry and that this isometry has to be gauged on the world ...

We review our recent work on the existence of a new independent R{sup 4} term, at one loop, in the type IIA and heterotic effective actions, after reduction to four dimensions, besides the usual square of the Bel-Robinson tensor. We discuss its supersymmetrization.
Starting with configurations of fourbranes, fivebranes, sixbranes and orientifolds in type IIA string theory we derive via M-theory the curves solving N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theories with gauge groups SO(N) and Sp(2N).
