We report that N(2),N(6)-bis(4-nitrophenyl)pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide, which is related to known isophthalic acid dianilides, transports Cl(-) ions through phospholipid bilayer membranes and shows clear evidence of channel activity.

    To determine the 3D conformation of proteins is a necessity to understand their functions or interactions with other molecules. It is commonly admitted that, when proteins fold from their primary linear structures to their final 3D conformations, they tend to choose the ones that minimize their fre...

    The central nervous system, which includes the spinal cord, retina, and brain, is derived from the neural tube. The neural tube is formed of a sheet of cells called the neuroepithelium. During embryonic development, neuroepithelial cells function as neural stem cells: they renew them...

    Our data clearly demonstrate that the coexistence of both hyperuricemia and reduced endothelium-dependent vasodilation increases the risk to develop new diabetes in hypertensive patients. In addition, mild-inflammation seems to be the mediator of the interaction between endothelial dysfunction and u...
