Calcium entry via connexin hemichannels in lens epithelium.
Exp. Eye Res. 132 , 52-8, (2015) Exposure to hyposmotic solution causes release of ATP from lens cells via hemichannels. Because hemichannel opening feasibly could swamp the cells with calcium, we carried out studies to measure the magnitude of the increase in cytoplasmic calcium concentrati... |

Hepatorenal protective effect of Antistax(®) against chemically-induced toxicity.
Pharmacogn. Mag. 11 , S173-81, (2015) Antioxidant natural products and chemoprevention are considered nowadays as an effective approach against health various disorders and diseases induced by oxidative stress or free radicals.The aim of this study was to assess the hepato- and nephroprotective a... |

Prevention of enamel demineralization with a novel fluoride strip: enamel surface composition and depth profile.
Sci. Rep. 5 , 13352, (2015) There is no topically applicable low concentration fluoride delivery device available for caries prevention. This study was aimed to assess the use of a low concentration (1450 ppm) fluoride strip as an effective fluoride delivery system against enamel demine... |

Calcium mobilization is both required and sufficient for initiating chromatin decondensation during activation of peripheral T-cells.
Mol. Immunol. 63(2) , 540-9, (2015) Antigen engagement of the T-cell receptor (TCR) induces a rapid and dramatic decondensation of chromatin that is necessary for T-cell activation. This decondensation makes T-cells competent to respond to interleukin-2 providing a mechanism to ensure clonotypi... |

Classical and membrane-initiated estrogen signaling in an in vitro model of anterior hypothalamic kisspeptin neurons.
Endocrinology 156 , 2162-73, (2015) The neuropeptide kisspeptin is essential for sexual maturation and reproductive function. In particular, kisspeptin-expressing neurons in the anterior rostral periventricular area of the third ventricle are generally recognized as mediators of estrogen positi... |

Tissue engineering scaled-up, anatomically shaped osteochondral constructs for joint resurfacing.
Eur. Cell. Mater. 30 , 163-85; discussion 185-6, (2015) Arthroplasty is currently the only surgical procedure available to restore joint function following articular cartilage and bone degeneration associated with diseases such as osteoarthritis (OA). A potential alternative to this procedure would be to tissue-en... |

Translating clinical findings into knowledge in drug safety evaluation--drug induced liver injury prediction system (DILIps).
J. Sci. Ind. Res. 65(10) , 808, (2006) Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a significant concern in drug development due to the poor concordance between preclinical and clinical findings of liver toxicity. We hypothesized that the DILI types (hepatotoxic side effects) seen in the clinic can be tra... |

A moldable putty containing silk fibroin yolk shell particles for improved hemostasis and bone repair.
Adv. Healthc. Mater. 4(3) , 432-45, (2015) During minimally invasive orthopedic surgeries, surgical intervention is required at two stages; to attain hemostasis and subsequently to implant the bone graft or its substitute. There is an apparent need for a material which can simultaneously control bone ... |

Induction of TRPV5 expression by small activating RNA targeting gene promoter as a novel approach to regulate cellular calcium transportation.
Life Sci. 114(2) , 70-6, (2014) Promoter-targeted small activating RNAs (saRNAs) have been shown to be able to induce target gene expression, a mechanism known as RNA activation (RNAa). The present study tested whether saRNA can induce the overexpression of TRPV5 in human cells derived from... |

Inhibition of ANKRD1 sensitizes human ovarian cancer cells to endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced apoptosis.
Oncogene 34(4) , 485-95, (2015) High expression of Ankyrin Repeat Domain 1 (ANKRD1) in ovarian carcinoma is associated with poor survival, and in ovarian cancer cell lines is associated with platinum resistance. Importantly, decreasing ANKRD1 expression using siRNA increases cisplatin sensi... |
