Lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) often manifest with severe systemic and central nervous system (CNS) symptoms. The existing treatment options are limited have no or only modest efficacy against neurological manifestations of disease. We demonstrate that recombinant human heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) improves the binding several sphingolipid-degrading enzymes to their essential cofactor bis(monoacyl)glycerophosphate in vitro. HSP70 reversed lysosomal pathology primary fibroblasts from 14...

IntFOLD is an independent web server that integrates our leading methods for structure and function prediction. The provides a simple unified interface aims to make complex protein modelling data more accessible life scientists. designed be intuitive set of quantitative data, so 3D results can viewed on single page interpreted by non-expert modellers at glance. only required input the amino acid sequence target protein. Here we describe major performance user updates server, which comprises...

Our aim in CASP12 was to improve our Template-Based Modeling (TBM) methods through better model selection, accuracy self-estimate (ASE) scores and refinement. To meet this aim, we developed two new automated methods, which used score, rank, upon the provided server models. Firstly, ModFOLD6_rank method, for improved global Quality Assessment (QA), ranking detection of local errors. Secondly, ReFOLD method fixing errors iterative QA guided For predictions IntFOLD4-TS protocol, integrates...

Transitions in sexual system and reproductive mode may affect the course of sex chromosome evolution, for instance by altering strength sexually antagonistic selection. However, there have been few studies chromosomes systems where such transitions documented. The European tadpole shrimp, Triops cancriformis, has undergone a transition from dioecy to androdioecy (a hermaphrodites males coexist), offering an excellent opportunity test impact this on evolution chromosomes. To identify...

Background: To date, no one has prospectively evaluated yoga intervention-induced changes in brain structure or function adults with acquired injuries (ABI). Thus, this study was conducted to test the feasibility of acquiring neuroimaging data from ABI before and after a intervention. Methods: This single-arm intervention that included 12 chronic (i.e., greater than 6 months post-injury) self-reported limitations balance. Neuroimaging were yoga. The completed once per week for eight weeks....

Heart failure is defined as a progressive condition in which the heart unable to pump enough blood meet body's needs for oxygen and nutrients. A common cause of due genetic mutations cytoskeletal proteins required contractile activity and/or mechanosensing. These include such CSRP3 or muscle LIM protein (MLP) number these result cardiomyopathy, sudden death.
