converted_109 | Does TGF-beta play a role in cardiac regeneration after myocardial infarction? | We then performed a chemical screen and identified several small molecules that increase or reduce cardiomyocyte proliferation during heart development. These compounds act via Hedgehog, Insulin-like growth factor or Transforming growth factor β signaling pathways. , Here, we report that the balance between the reparat... | yes |
converted_3947 | Is there a link between rare variants in PPARG and type 1 diabetes? | Rare variants in PPARG with decreased activity in adipocyte differentiation are associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes., By sequencing PPARG in 19,752 T2D cases and controls drawn from multiple studies and ethnic groups, we identified 49 previously unidentified, nonsynonymous PPARG variants (MAF < 0.5%). Con... | no |
converted_4587 | Does atemoya juice inhibit the CYP1A2 enzyme? | Atemoya juice significantly inhibited CYP1A2 activity in human liver microsomes, but not the activities of CYP2C9 and CYP3A., This suggests that the intake of an excess amount of atemoya juice is necessary to cause a change in the pharmacokinetics of phenacetin when the IC50 values for CYP1A2 inhibition by atemoya and ... | yes |
converted_4258 | Can FTO promote pancreatic cancer development? | m6A demethylase FTO suppresses pancreatic cancer tumorigenesis by demethylating PJA2 and inhibiting Wnt signaling., Moreover, FTO demethylated the m6A modification of praja ring finger ubiquitin ligase 2 (PJA2), thereby reducing its mRNA decay, suppressing Wnt signaling, and ultimately restraining the proliferation, in... | no |
converted_1691 | Is STAT3 transcription factor regulated by mTORC1? | Mechanistically, mTORC1 mediated IL-6-induced Stat3 activation in intestinal epithelial cells to stimulate the expression of downstream targets essential for cell proliferation and tissue regeneration. Therefore, mTORC1 signaling critically protects against inflammatory bowel disease through modulation of inflammation-... | yes |
converted_227 | Can DNA intercalators function as topoisomerase inhibitors? | The aporphine alkaloids (+)-dicentrine and (+)-bulbocapnine are non-planar molecules lacking features normally associated with DNA binding by intercalation or minor groove binding. Surprisingly, dicentrine showed significant activity as a topoisomerase II (EC 5.99.1.3) inhibitor and also was active in a DNA unwinding a... | yes |
converted_3073 | Is the NLM medical text indexer (MTI) still useful and relevant? | 12 years on - Is the NLM medical text indexer still useful and relevant?, Facing a growing workload and dwindling resources, the US National Library of Medicine (NLM) created the Indexing Initiative project in 1996. This cross-library team's mission is to explore indexing methodologies for ensuring quality and currency... | yes |
