G-protein Coupled Receptors- a Potential New Drug Target to Combat Diabetic Syndrome: an Overview
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), also known as seven-transmembrane domain receptors, 7TM receptors, heptahelical receptors, serpentine receptor, and G protein-linked receptors (GPLR), comprise a large protein family of transmembrane receptors that sense molecules outside the cell and activate inside signal transduction pathways and, ultimately, cellular responses. GPCRs are involved in a wi...
متن کاملKaposis sarcoma in a Nairobi hospital.
BACKGROUND Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is associated epidemiologically with HIV infection and a number of countries have reported a dramatic increase in the incidence of KS with the advent of AIDS. Although AIDS is prevalent in Kenya, no studies on the impact of AIDS on the pattern of KS has been carried out. OBJECTIVE To determine any changes in the pattern of KS that might have occurred since the...

www.thelancet.com Published online January 17, 2018 http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(18)30101-6 1 Onchocerciasis, which is a disease caused by the filarial worm Onchocerca volvulus, is transmitted from individual to individual by Simulium black flies that breed in fast flowing rivers. The millions of larvae (microfilariae) released by the adult parasites invade skin and eyes where they can ...
متن کاملRecent discoveries of influenza A drug target sites to combat virus replication.
Sequence variations in the binding sites of influenza A proteins are known to limit the effectiveness of current antiviral drugs. Clinically, this leads to increased rates of virus transmission and pathogenicity. Potential influenza A inhibitors are continually being discovered as a result of high-throughput cell based screening studies, whereas the application of computational tools to aid dru...
متن کاملA Potential Drug Target for Plaque Stabilization
Evidence is accumulating that autophagy occurs in advanced atherosclerotic plaques. Although there is an almost relentless discovery of molecules that are involved in autophagy, studies of selective autophagy induction or inhibition using knockout mice are just now beginning to reveal its biological significance. Most likely, autophagy safeguards plaque cells against cellular distress, in parti...
