Scientists are now trying to develop synthetic compounds that affect the genes daf-2 and SIRT1.
But there are naturally occurring chlorine-containing compounds that affect ozone as well.
Overall, these results indicate that shRNA screens with bioactive compounds that affect the cell growth allow us to identify genes involved in their MoA.
Treating brain-damaged mice with compounds that affect gene expression restores their ability to recall long-term memories, according to a study in this week's Nature.
So endocrine disrupting chemicals, or EDCs, also known as endocrine disruptors, are chemical compounds that affect the endocrine system and hormones.
In this study, we report an image-based high-content assay for detecting compounds that affect hESC survival or pluripotency.
The other great advantage of this scientific approach to intoxication is that if we target compounds that affect the Gaba system, then it is possible to produce other drugs that could be sold alongside the alcohol substitute as an antidote.
Naturally occurring osmolytes are small organic compounds that affect the functioning of the macromolecule and ever-present in the living systems.
A particular promising lead is the potential synergistic combination of natural compounds that affect critical miRNAs, such as curcumin or epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) with chemotherapeutic agents.
We discuss venoms and venom-derived compounds that affect total immune cell numbers, immune cell proliferation, immune cell migration, immune cell phenotype and cytokine secretion.
This paper reports on the development of a fairly sensitive, rapid, and inexpensive assay which detects the presence of compounds that affect the sodium channel.
