Small Molecules to Elevate Rab7-GTPase Activity and Lower Cholesterol Accumulation in Niemann-Pick Type C DiseaseNARA Subscribed
Purpose Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) disease caused by mutations in cholesterol transporters NPC1 or NPC2 is characterized by cholesterol accumulation in late endosomes/lysosomes (LE/Lys). The activation of alternative cholesterol export routes that can bypass NPC1/2 deficiency could provide therapeutic opportunities. We previously demonstrated that gene depletion of the Rab7-GTPase activating protein (GAP) TBC1D15, which hydroly...
Evaluating economic contribution of seafood industries in Busan using hypothetical extraction methodOA Marine
Seafood industries of Busan in South Korea have currently suffered a notable decline in both regional output and value-added unlike the production growth in the past. In this situation, this study tries to evaluate the economic contribution of Busan’s seafood industries using the hypothetical extraction method (HEM), a well-established technique that has rarely been applied in fisheries contexts. Also, this study is a rare att...
The microbiome’s hidden influence: preclinical insights into inflammatory responses in necrotizing enterocolitisNARA Subscribed
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the most common surgical emergency in preterm infants; nonetheless, besides supportive measures, no treatment is available. NEC significantly increases length of hospitalization of preterm infants, causes severe morbidity and up to 70% mortality. Despite limited understanding of the underlying mechanisms, prematurity, dysbiosis and an underdeveloped immune system are known to increase the ris...
Dominance and rarity in tree communities across the globe: Patterns, predictors and threatsNARA Subscribed
Aim Ecological and anthropogenic factors shift the abundances of dominant and rare tree species within local forest communities, thus affecting species composition and ecosystem functioning. To inform forest and conservation management it is important to understand the drivers of dominance and rarity in local tree communities. We answer the following research questions: (1) What are the patterns of dominance and rarity in tree...
