Jekyll and Hide

چکیده
Neurodegenerative diseases are a burden of our century. Although significant efforts were made to find a cure or relief to this scourge, their pathophysiology remains vague and the cellular function of the key involved proteins is still unclear. However, in the case of amyloid β (Aβ), a key protein concerned in Alzheimer disease, we are now a step closer in the unscrambling of its cellular functions. Interestingly, whereas the exact role of Aβ in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer disease is still unresolved, a recent study revealed a neuroprotective function of Aβ in multiple sclerosis with possibly promising therapeutic benefits.

By being losslessly inter-translatable with C, Jekyll reduces the switching costs normally associated with moving to a...
متن کاملDr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde: Information Security in the Ecosystem of Healthcare
“Jekyll and Hyde” embodies how information security affects today’s healthcare ecosystem. When security works, it promotes patient health and a smooth operating ecosystem (Dr. Jekyll); when it doesn’t, privacy and health compromises can occur (Mr. Hyde). In this paper, we argue that unusable security triggers this split personality and in doing so, compromises the heart of the healthcare ecosys...
متن کاملJekyll encodes a novel protein involved in the sexual reproduction of barley.
Cereal seed development depends on the intimate interaction of filial and maternal tissues, ensuring nourishment of the new generation. The gene jekyll, which was identified in barley (Hordeum vulgare), is preferentially expressed in the nurse tissues. JEKYLL shares partial similarity with the scorpion Cn4 toxin and is toxic when ectopically expressed in Escherichia coli and tobacco (Nicotiana ...
