This study investigated the event-related brain potentials associated with the olfactory-visual cross-modal Stroop effect and its modulation by olfactory-induced and self-reported affective states. Eighteen healthy participants were presented with an olfactory stimulus and the image of a plant, and they had to categorize the olfactory attribute of…[Read more]

Lung adenocarcinoma is a subtype of lung cancer with high morbidity and mortality. CD44 is instrumental in many physiological and tumor pathological processes. The expression of unique single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) contributes to protein dysfunction and influences cancer susceptibility. In the current study, we investigated the…[Read more]

MOTIVATION Understanding how antibodies specifically interact with their antigens can enable better drug and vaccine design, as well as provide insights into natural immunity. Experimental structural characterization can detail the “ground truth” of antibody-antigen interactions, but computational methods are required to efficiently scale to…[Read more]

Moreover, our observations revealed that Adenosine 5′-monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling was activated in cardiomyocytes under hypoxic stress and involved in the TRPV1-induced autophagy in cardiomyocytes under hypoxic stress. On the whole, this study provides evidences that activation of TRPV1 mitigates hypoxic injury in…[Read more]
