Nature's Swiss Army Knife: The Diverse Protective Roles of Anthocyanins in Leaves

The plasmacytoid dendritic cell as the Swiss army knife of the immune system: molecular regulation of its multifaceted functions.

Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) have been regarded as the "professional type I IFN-producing cells" of the immune system following viral recognition that relies on the expression of TLR7 and TLR9. Furthermore, pDC link the innate and adaptive immune systems via cytokine production and Ag presentation. More recently, their ability to induce tolerance and cytotoxicity has been added to their "...

Dimethyltryptamine (DMT): a biochemical Swiss Army knife in neuroinflammation and neuroprotection?

hnRNP A1: The Swiss Army Knife of Gene Expression

Eukaryotic cells express a large variety of RNA binding proteins (RBPs), with diverse affinities and specificities towards target RNAs. These proteins play a crucial role in almost every aspect of RNA biogenesis, expression and function. The heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs) are a complex and diverse family of RNA binding proteins. hnRNPs display multiple functions in the proces...

GProM - A Swiss Army Knife for Your Provenance Needs

We present an overview of GProM, a generic provenance middleware for relational databases. The system supports diverse provenance and annotation management tasks through query instrumentation, i.e., compiling a declarative frontend language with provenance-specific features into the query language of a backend database system. In addition to introducing GProM, we also discuss research contribut...
