Background Bioreduction of water‐soluble tetrazolium salts (eg, MTS, XTT, and MTT) to
their respective formazans is generally regarded as an indicator of cell “redox activity.” The …

MicroRNAs function as negative regulators of posttranscriptional gene expression, having
major roles in cellular differentiation. Several neuroblastoma cell lines can be induced to …

Despite widespread use of various tetrazolium assays, the mechanisms of bioreduction of
these compounds have not been fully elucidated. We investigated the capacity of tetrazolium …

Structural plasticity of dendritic spines is thought to underlie memory formation. Size of a
dendritic spine is considered proportional to the size of its postsynaptic density (PSD), number …

Four fac-[Re(CO)3(phen)(L)] complexes with phen = 1,10-phenanthroline and L = a non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) carboxylate ligand were obtained from the reaction of …

Phosphorylation of histone H2AX on serine 139 (γH2AX) is an early step in cellular response
to a DNA double-strand break (DSB). γH2AX foci are generally regarded as markers of …

We examined six types of cells that form the ovary of the earthworm Dendrobena veneta
ogonia, prooocytes, vitellogenic oocytes, trophocytes, fully grown postvitellogenic oocytes and …

Autophagy is indispensable for the proper architecture and flawless functioning of
pancreatic β-cells. A growing body of evidence indicates reciprocal communication between …

Anticancer therapies that induce DNA damage tend to trigger senescence in cancer cells, a
process known as therapy-induced senescence (TIS). Such cells may undergo atypical …

Two new neutral fac-[Re(CO) 3 (phen)L] compounds (1,2), with phen = 1,10-phenanthroline
and L = O 2 C(CH 2 ) 5 CH 3 or O 2 C(CH 2 ) 4 C≡CH, were synthetized in one-pot …
