Traf2-and Nck-interacting kinase (TNIK) has been implicated in fibrosis-associated signaling pathways and has recently emerged as a promising therapeutic target for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). In this study, we employed an integrated strateg...
CONTEXT: Sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1) is a sphingosine kinase that can catalyze the phosphorylation of sphingosine to generate sphingosine-1-phosphate. The J-type channel of SPHK1 plays an important role in processes such as cell signaling. Therefore...
Microtubules (MTs) play a crucial role in mitosis and are composed of α-/β-tubulin heterodimeric subunits. In eukaryotes, eight α-tubulin and ten β-tubulin isotypes have been reported, each displaying tissue-specific expression patterns. Among them, ...
Extended-spectrum β-lactamases in Escherichia coli poses a significant threat for clinicians in tertiary healthcare settings, rendering treatments ineffective with newer β-lactam-β-lactamase inhibitors combinations. To overcome this, the present stud...
