ACE2, the viral gateway

The discovery of the ACE2 gene.

The ACE2/Apelin Signaling, MicroRNAs, and Hypertension

The renin-angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) plays a pivotal role in the development of hypertension. Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), which primarily metabolises angiotensin (Ang) II to generate the beneficial heptapeptide Ang-(1-7), serves as a negative regulator of the RAAS. Apelin is a second catalytic substrate for ACE2 and functions as an inotropic and cardiovascular protective ...

Gateway to the chloroplast.

data-processing demands. The technology exists and tentative designs are beginning to appear 7–9. Such a telescope, which would have many applications in other branches of astronomy, is projected to cost about $100 million (about half the price of a Jumbo jet). What is missing is any sign that such a facility will be funded by governments and their agencies. Perhaps astronomers can attract the ...

Introducing The Neuroscience Gateway

Last few decades have seen the emergence of computational neuroscience as a mature field where researchers are interested in modeling complex and large neuronal systems and require access to high performance computing machines and associated cyberinfrastructure to manage computational workflow and data. The neuronal simulation tools, used in this research field, are also implemented for paralle...

The ZWeb W3 Gateway

This paper describes the design and implementation of a exible and extens-ible framework for providing access to diverse and geographically remote data reserves. This study combines the use of client/server gateways and virtual documents to provide generic client access to remote databases, which may employ diierent data formats and protocols. This exploration has resulted in the construction o...
