Lipid peroxidation can be described generally as a process under which oxidants such as
free radicals attack lipids containing carbon‐carbon double bond (s), especially …

Researchers cannot predict as yet how long a human being can live. Life expectancy has
been steadily increasing in the last century, but perhaps not always the quality of life in …

Abstract FUS is an RNA/DNA-binding protein involved in multiple steps of gene expression
and is associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and fronto-temporal lobar …

Crustaceans are particularly sensitive to heavy metal pollution. Copper (Cu) is one of typical
heavy metal pollutants in aquatic ecosystems. However, limited attention has been paid on …

Background Although recent studies provide mechanistic understanding to the
pathogenesis of radiation induced lung injury (RILI), rare therapeutics show definitive …

Our previous findings suggest that sphingosine kinase 2 (SPK2) mediates ischemic
tolerance and autophagy in cerebral preconditioning. The aim of this study was to determine …

Diphthamide is a conserved modification in archaeal and eukaryal translation elongation
factor 2 (EF2). Its name refers to the target function for diphtheria toxin, the disease‐causing …

Diphthamide is a modified histidine residue which is uniquely present in archaeal and
eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (EF-2), an essential GTPase responsible for catalyzing the …

Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) is widely used in the detection of gene expression
level. However, there is no suitable ginger reference gene for qPCR analysis. Therefore, it is …

Abstract Elongation factor-2 (eEF2) catalyzes the movement of the ribosome along the
mRNA. A single histidine residue in eEF2 (H715) is modified to form diphthamide. A role for …
