Unraveling the brain control of metabolism may generate opportunities to discover novel precision medicines for obesity and diabetes. In this issue of Neuron, Liu et al. (2017) identify a novel glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 receptor-dependent signaling process that exerts... | {

High expression of DNA repair pathways is associated with metastasis in melanoma patients.
We have identified a gene-profile signature for human primary malignant melanoma associated with metastasis to distant sites and poor prognosis. We analyse the differential gene expression by looking at whole biological pathways ... | {

[Inhibition of the expression of prostate specific antigen by curcumin].
To study the effect of curcumin on the expression of prostate specific antigen (PSA). AXSYM system-chemical luciferase method was used to examine the content of PSA in prostate cancer cell lines, LNCap after treated with different doses of curcumi... | {

Conjugated linoleic acid increased C-reactive protein in human subjects.
We previously showed that conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) increases 15-keto-dihydro-prostaglandin F2alpha, a marker for cyclooxygenase-mediated lipid peroxidation and thus an indicator of cyclooxygenase-mediated inflammation. The aim of the present... | {

c-Met expression is regulated by Mitf in the melanocyte lineage.
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/c-Met signaling is thought to be a key pathway in both melanocyte development and melanoma metastasis. Here, HGF stimulation of melanocytes was seen to up-regulate c-Met expression. In an effort to decipher the mechanism by ... | {

Inhibition of steroidogenic response to corticotropin in mouse adrenal tumor cells (Y-1) by the ionophore A23187. Role of protein biosynthesis.
Addition of the ionophore A23187 to Y-1 mouse adrenal tumor cells in monolayer culture inhibits steroidogenesis and the steroidogenic response to corticotropin (50% inhibition ... | {

[Progress in streptothricin antibiotics - A review].
Streptothricins are a group of the earliest discovered antibiotics with broad antimicrobial spectrum, and have been used for crop protection. We reviewed the studies on streptothricin resistance, biosynthesis of the three components (streptolidine, carbamoylated D-gl... | {
